Meade Instruments LS-6ACF Lightswitch Telescope Telescope

Meade Instruments LS-6ACF Lightswitch 82 mm Telescope Product # 0610-03-10 The Meade Instruments LS-6ACF Lightswitch Telescope are their own catadioptric creation, a unique hybrid of other Cassegrains which significantly reduces coma astigmatism. Using a combination of a few sensors, a CCD camera, and some computerized intelligence, the LS-6ACF's LightSwitch technology is able to detect where it is and where it is pointing. Combined with astronomer-class Advanced Coma Free optics and Ultra-High Transmission Coatings in a 6" aperture, it makes for an attractive offering for any serious amateur observer. The scope aligns itself using the included AutoStar III Controller to guide around the sky. There's a speaker on the body, an audio output for headphones, and a video output which can display reference pictures and graphics on computer. The LS-6ACF LightSwitch's rigid single-fork mount has 4.8" worm gears and enough clearance to use SLR or CCD camera of choice. Combine it with the simple T-adapter for shorter exposures, can use their software to adjust for an altazimuth mount's field rotation over long exposures.
