Description

A high-quality, portable GoTo German equatorial mount with AudioStar® Hand box. You can also use it as a stand-alone mount. This durable mount is perfect for mid-sized telescopes. It features a Vixen-style dovetail receiver for mounting observing optics up to 14.96kg (33lbs). This mount ensures smooth tracking due to its sturdy design and low-cogging servo-motors.

You can track through long exposures due to Smart Drive for recording permanent periodic error correction (PPEC). This mount handles slight load imbalances easily. It is practical for seamless imaging of the pictures of the night sky: you do not have to perform a meridian flip.

The LX85™ mount comes with an integrated autoguider port so that you can easily connect to an autoguider camera. AudioStar® hand controller database includes over 30,000 objects. Just press a button to view a desired object. A special feature, AudioStars®Astronomer Inside, includes a built-in speaker that plays over four hours of educational content about the celestial objects! Explore wonders of the night sky with Meade LX85 German Equatorial Mount and Tripod!
