Quantum with Optics

Do you like all the outstanding features of the AstroSystems  TeleKit but don't have the time, space or
inclination to build one?   Not a problem!  We now offer the Quantum finished TeleKit in 10, 12.5, 15,
16, 18 (17.5), 20, 22, 24, 25, 28, 30 and 32 inches completely finished.  Ultra-smooth, four coat
polyurethane finish offers unsurpassed protection.  We use our own specially formulated penetrant/water
resistant primer and 3 topcoats of premium spar polyurethane for unsurpassed water resistance and
durability.  Truss telescopes may look alike from a distance, but the beautiful golden blonde Baltic
Birch complimented by the black accents always stands out among Truss Newtonians.  The closer you look,
the more obvious the superior workmanship, finish and performance becomes.  Sky and Telescope magazine
called the TeleKit a 'heirloom  Dobsonian' in their June 1998 review.   Ready to drop in your optics, or
we can supply optics from one of  many recommended opticians.  The finished TeleKit features the same
precise CNC routed parts as the TeleKit.  A Lycra light shroud and transport system are standard.  Only
the highest quality stainless steel hardware is used.

Advance Series Computerized (GOTO) Mounts

CG-5 Computerized - GoTo convenience and GPS compatibility for precision accuracy
We are proud to offer a computerized GoTo version of Celestron's sturdy CG-5 mount.
Couple this solid mount with the included computerized control system to utilize many of the same
functions and features - like the NexStarcomputer control system and an Autoguider port for long
exposure deep sky astrophotography - as Celestron's most advanced GoTo telescopes. 

AstroMaster Telescopes

NexStar SLT Telescopes

Omni XLT

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.

NGC

Our popular computers allow you to easily guide to hundreds, thousands or even millions of objects in
the database without knowing where they are and without using a star chart. You don′t even need to
level or polar align your scope. You can spend more time observing and less time hunting for objects.
These computers are sometimes called digital setting circles because the early versions only displayed
right ascension and declination, thus replacing the telescopes mechanical setting circles. The Next
Generation Computers (or MAX computers as they are sometimes called) are not ″Go-To″
computers in that they do not move the telescope for you. 

LightBridge Truss-Tube Dobsonian Deluxe Telescopes

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.

R130Sf 130mm Newtonian Reflector Telescopes

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. 

R150Sf Newtonian Reflectors

The use of state-of-the-art coating technology yields the ideal surface for its f/5 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 optical tube.This little brother of the R200SS, is a big performer and
features a sliding focuser. 

R200SS 200mm Newtonian Reflector Telescopes

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.
