Two Best Meade Refractor Telescopes

If you want to gaze at most of the major planets without spending a bundle you would do well to purchase one of the Meade refractor telescopes.

With the exception of Pluto it's easy to gaze at the planets with the Meade refractor telescopes. The two best models, or at least the best known, of the Meade refracting telescopes are the Meade ETX70 at and the Meade LXD 75. Through either of these you can clearly view the belts of clouds that surround Jupiter, or the rings of Saturn. You can also see Jupiter's four satellites through either of these Meade refractor telescopes. Remember you'll need Meade telescope accessories.

Refracting telescopes by Meade let you easily observe the moon in great details. You can see its craters, mountains and even fault lines in three dimensions. Within our own galaxy the these telescopes will let you study nebula, and clusters of stars by the hundreds. You can also readily gaze at a myriad number of other galaxies and their celestial objects.

The most popular of the Meade refracting telescopes, the ETX70at includes an optical tube assembly for its achromatic refractor, which has several layers of optical coating, an internal system to flip the mirrors so that you can observe from either a straight through or ninety-degree view. The ETX70at has a fork mount that offers electrically controlled slow motion action, dual axle locks and a 9 speed motor drive system, dual axis, with an Autostar brand computer controller.

This model, one of the lower priced of the Meade refracting telescopes retails at approximately $3300. This price includes operating instructions. You'll need six AA batteries to work it.
