About Meade Instruments…
Meade Instruments has been around for a long time (1972), and they are still developing and producing cutting edge, innovative products today…products that customers all around the world use and appreciate. From the first 8″ Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope with a worm-gear drive (1980) to the breakthrough LX200 telescope in 1992, Meade kept pushing the envelope, and we owe them a tip of the hat for the boom of go-to, computerized “do everything” telescopes that are on the market today.

The Meade LX600, valued at $5,000, is a simple to operate, portable package that makes taking great astrophotos as easy as focusing your camera and opening the shutter. The collection of features and technology integrated into the LX600 is unavailable from any other manufacturer and cannot be duplicated by just attaching a set of add-ons to another scope.
