Meade Newtonian Reflector Telescope (LXD75 N-6AT)

Optical Tube Construction Schmidt-Newtonian & Schmidt-Cassegrain optics are mounted in precision-machined aluminum cells & mounted in sturdy steel tubes which are baked with highgrade textured enamel paint. The optical tube assembly is closed, reducing air currents inside tube. This prevents distortion of an otherwise sharp image. Plus, a closed tube significantly helps keep the optics clean Corrector Lens Fully corrects for spherical aberration & provides pinpoint star images. Water white glass is used in all Schmidt-Newtonian & Schmidt-Cassegrain corrector lenses to maximize light transmission. The use of water white glass results in an increase of light transmission in excess of 10%, as compared to competing telescopes using soda lime glass Individually Figured Optics, Schmidt-Newtonian & Schmidt-Cassegrain corrector lenses & mirrors are individually figured to create a superior optical system which is renowned for its exquisite smoothness & performance Pyrex Primary Mirror Premium-grade Pyrex mirrors are used in all Schmidt-Newtonian & Schmidt-Cassegrain optical systems, providing exceptional thermal stability versus competing models using standard plate glass Fast f/Ratios Meade's Schmidt-Newtonians have extremely fast, well corrected f/Ratios for short photographic exposure times & wide fields-of-view. 2" Focuser Rack & pinion focuser allows the user to achieve a precise focus. Accepts both 1.25" & 2" Eyepiece

Reader Reviews
Buyers beware. BEFORE you buy....call their toll free # FIRST to be sure item is in stock. I tried to get this telescope from their actual OpticsPlanet.com web site, was so excited I didn't even bother with the reviews, which I normally never purchase with out reading. I received e-mail stating my item was on back order(same day ordered). So I canceled order. After that I called their 1-800# to be sure it was canceled (same day). The customer sevice said yes. I've read a lot of reviews now from them & have noticed that this is a reoccuring problem. Don't get me wrong, they have GREAT products @ THE BEST prices. And FREE UPS SHIPPING! What more could you ask for. Even a price guarentee. I'd just want to put out the word that you NEED to make sure they have stocking item FIRST! Unless you are willing to wait 1 to 4wks. Their 1-800# is: (800) 504-5897 OpticsPlanet.com
