Sitting atop an ultra-stable tripod and mount, the LX200-ACF combines an amazing array of features: Primary Mirror Lock to eliminate focus and mirror shift during long exposures large, high-quality worm-gear drives in both axes to provide extraordinarily smooth movement, and Smart Mount and Smart Drive, delivering Permanent Periodic Error Correction (critical for long exposure astrophotography). Coupled with Meade's Ultra- High Transmission Coatings (standard on all LX200-ACF systems), you have the ultimate in premium optics. Using the Meadeexclusive design, ACF optics achieve aplanatic performance - with a flatter field, reduced astigmatism and eliminated diffractions spikes - equal to Ritchy-Chétien systems, at a fraction of the price. The Advanced Coma-Free optical system has brought the highest level of optical performance well within the reach of most amateurs. ![]() All sizes come with the Advanced Coma-Free (ACF) optical systems. The LX200-ACF comes in a complete line of OTA apertures, from 8-inch to 16-inch. It's the biggest news in astronomy since, well, the LX200. The LX200-ACF includes all the field-proven features of the LX200 including GPS, Primary Mirror Lock, Oversized Primary Mirror, SmartDrive, Smart Mount, AutoStar II and more. Now you can own similar optics to what the professionals use. Nearly every observatory reflector in the world uses an aplanatic (coma-free) optical system like the Ritchey-Chrétien (RC), including NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. ![]() Meade's LX200-ACF brings Advanced Coma-Free (ACF) optics within reach of aspiring astronomers everywhere. ![]() The LX200 with ACF Optics The most widely used, research-grade, telescope system.
