Meade Telescope Astro ETX-90/EC

Observe the continually changing cloud belts on the surface of the planet Jupiter, the magnificent ring system of Saturn Moon craters by the hundred, plus lunar rilles, mountain ranges, and fault lines, all visible in brilliant, high resolution detail. The Meade Telescope Astro ETX-90/EC is an extremely versatile, ultra-high resolution imaging system with advanced features similar to larger, more specialized telescopes. ETX-Series optics are so high in contrast, image brightness, and resolution that the telescope consistently outperforms many instruments of larger apertures.

Meade EMC Super Multi-Coatings on all optical surfaces maximize light transmission through the corrector lens and reflectance from the primary and secondary mirrors. Ready to go just minutes after opening the box, the Meade Telescope Astro ETX-90/EC is simple to operate for the beginner or casual observer, and includes advanced features for the demanding requirements of the serious observer. With pushbutton controls, precise object tracking of celestial objects, and diffraction-limited imaging, the Meade Telescope Astro ETX-90/EC may be all the telescope ever required to see birds at 100 yards or stars at 100 light-years.
