Meade ETX 70AT Telescope

The Meade ETX 70AT has become famous for its revolutionary Autostar hand controller. Using the Autostar hand controller, you can locate more than 1,400 celestial objects. Choose the object you want  to view, and enter it into Autostar display, then press GO TO. Within seconds your telescope will place the object in your field of view.

The Meade Meade ETX 70AT combines world-class optics and features allowing you to observe all the major planets except Pluto. These observations include, the Moonlike phases of Mercury and Venus, Saturn and its ring system, Mars and its prominent features, Jupiter and its major cloud belts, the four major Jovian satellites and much more. The Meade ETX 125PE Astro Telescope Premiere Edition is a larger model while still providing the same benefits.

The Meade Autostar database for the ETX 70AT includes the entire range of celestial phenomena. The database listing offers a great introduction to the variety of astronomical objects viewed through the ETX 70AT. Autostar also allows pushbutton centering of images within the telescopic field at any of nine selectable speeds. After Autostar locates an object it tells the telescope to automatically track the object across the sky, taking into account completely and accurately the effects of the Earth's axial rotation, pretty amazing.

The Meade ETX 70AT is equipped with accurate worm gear systems on each axis that allows smooth pushbutton motions of the telescope. This is very important, especially when viewing deep space objects.

The Meade ETX 70AT is easy to carry to any location for viewing the sky. Astronomers of any age can get started easily. Just place the telescope on any flat surface, do a fast 60 second alignment of the telescope computer to the sky and begin viewing.
