Meade Models 70AZ-A,NG-70,NGC-70,ETX-70AT,80EQ-A,NG-70,NGC-70,DS-2080AT and ETX® Maksutov-Cassegrain models ETX-90™, 105 and 125 can also be used for high-resolution terrestrial observation —from reading a license plate a half-mile away to studying the delicate detail of a bird’s feather. The additional light-gathering capability of the larger aperture Meade 114EQ-AST,114EQ-A,DS-2130ATS,ETX-90,ETX-105 and ETX-125 are especially advantageous for deep-space phenomena. Several thousand star clusters, galaxies and nebulae are within range of these instruments.

12Adventures in Astronomy

From the comfort of your own backyard, you can explore hundreds of galaxies, gas clouds (nebulae), and star clusters, as well the Moon, planets, and comets with a Meade telescope. The powerful light-gathering capability of a Meade telescope can transform simple points of light into objects of incredible detail. You will be enriched with the experience of seeing first-hand some of nature’s most awesome spectacles.

What You Can See

With any of the Meade telescopes presented in this brochure, you can observe the following celestial objects, and a great many more, sharply and clearly: the magnificent ring system of Saturn; the distinctive cloud belt structure of Jupiter and four of its largest moons; hundreds of craters and mountain ranges on Earth’s Moon and deep-space objects including the Andromeda Galaxy, the Hercules globular star cluster, and the diffuse Orion Nebula.
