Meade DS 2080AT 80mm Refracting Telescope

The Meade DS 2080AT 80mm refracting telescope uses the very latest in
electromechanical design, and microprocessor technology. It has been designed so that the intermediate and even beginner can use it easily. This telescope has an 80mm aperture that delivers amazing views of Saturn's rings, and the moons of Jupiter.

The Meade DS 2080AT refracting telescope is armed with the Autostar control system. Beginning and intermediate astronomers are amazed how Autostar
permits them to view hundreds of objects their very
first night out. Also using Autostar is the Meade DS2130 ATS 127mm reflecting telescope.

You'll be able to view more than 1500 astronomical objects with the Meade DS 2080AT 80mm refractor telescope. Just plug in the Autostar Computer Controller into the control panel of your DS telescope. Choose the object you want to view and press GOTO. Your telescope will automatically move at 4.5 degrees per second and place the object in your field of view.

Autostar provides a wide range of important capabilities for the Meade DS 2080AT 80mm telescope. Its equipped with accurate, automatic sidereal-rate tracking to keep located objects centered in the field. Dual axis functions that move the telescope on both or either axes at any nine drive speeds, from fast 4.5 degrees per second to slow 2x sidereal. Plus GOTO ability to more than 200 user defined objects.
