Omni XLT series features the stable platform of the CG-4 mount and high quality optics. Using aspheric
shaping technology in conjunction with hand-figuring the optics the Omni XLT presents an image with
virtually no spherical abberation. We also added our famous StarBright XLT coating system to further
enhance light transmission.
Dobsonian telescopes are recognized within the astronomy hobby as an excellent value for the aperture
size, and our StarHopper line is as rich in features as it is in value.
Celestron’s Dobsonian configuration is a Newtonian optical tube mounted on an altazimuth mount. The
optical system features a large primary mirror at the bottom of the tube which collects light and
concentrates it onto a small secondary mirror, which reflects the light out the side of the tube and
into the eyepiece. Best of all, StarHopper Dobsonians are easy to observe with -- the user navigates
through the night sky by simply moving the tube up or down, and left or right, by hand.
It’s not just a big telescope. It’s a big telescope that goes anywhere. New LightBridge truss-dobs from
Meade take down and set up quickly. So you can take one of these massive windows on the universe out to
your favorite dark sky locations with ease. LightBridge dobs give you high quality Meade optics, premium
components, and ultra portability - all for about the same price as an ordinary tube dob. So get a
LightBridge truss-dob. And prepare to cross the universe.
This lightweight 5” reflector is a favorite of many new astronomers because it features remarkable light
gathering with sharp images for its price and size. With a standard 20mm Plőssl more than the
entire moon fills the eyepiece. You’ll view innumerable star clusters and dark clouds, not to mention
nebulas and galaxies.
Add a 32mm and the heavens open up with a remarkable 2.5 degree field of view! All of the stars in the
Pleiades can be viewed at the same time. The visual observer will enjoy wide views of deep sky objects.
Actual groups of nebula or clusters can be viewed at the same time with this instrument. The R130Sf
comes standard with the 6 x30 finder and dovetail tube plate that fits very well on all the Vixen
mounts.
This is a scope you can start with on a basic user-friendly Porta Mount and later move up to one of our
electronic mounts such as the Skypod or Sphinx.
The remarkably fast 200mm (8”) f/4 parabolic primary mirror of the R200SS Newtonian reflector gives
extremely sharp images with no chromatic aberration. The use of state-of-the-art coating technology
yields the ideal surface for its f/4 primary mirror. The visual observer will enjoy wide views of deep
sky objects. Actual groups of nebula or clusters can be viewed at the same time with this instrument.
The telescope’s large aperture and compact body make it ideally suited for astrophotography of nebulae,
star clusters and comets. The use of the optional coma corrector allows for a sharp coma-free image from
edge to edge, and the rack and pinion focusing mount, with an adapter, accepts 2 eyepieces.
