Meade Telescopes – CES 2009



Ces-2009-meadeMeade Telescopes are well known in the Astronomy community and much of the challenge for amateur astronomers is getting a telescope aligned. The folks at Meade have developed a telescope that aligns itself.

Ces-2009-meade2This is accomplished  through the utilization of CCD imager that has been added to the telescope which is able to find two new stars. Once aligned the telescope can align to over 100,000 stars that it has in it’s internal database. It also has audio content that will act as a astronomer on board to help you understand what your looking at.

The unit cost around $1299.00 which is a great price considering what is included. Astronomy used to cost a lot more.
