Selling my dad's telescope after he died last year. I don't know much about telescopes, so I used AI to help write this description. SHIPS FROM OREM, UT. (My account info had to match my credit card, that's why it says Watertown, MA.)
This is a fully equipped, observatory-grade setup ready for visual astronomy and planetary imaging. At its heart is the Meade LX90 ACF 8” f/10 with Ultra-High Transmission Coatings (UHTC) and Advanced Coma-Free optics — a significant upgrade over standard Schmidt-Cassegrains, producing flat, pinpoint star fields edge to edge.
The AudioStar GoTo hand controller includes a 30,000+ object database with guided audio tours. Full field tripod and fork mount included.
Upgrades over stock: A TPO 10:1 Precision Micro Crayford focuser replaces the stock SCT focuser for smooth, slip-free focusing critical for high-magnification planetary work.
Accessories included:
- Explore Scientific 18mm 82° Argon-Purged Waterproof eyepiece (stunning wide-field views)
- TeleVue 2x BIG Barlow — the gold standard in Barlows, virtually zero degradation
- High Point 2” SCT-Quartz Mirror Diagonal, 99% reflectivity
- Baader Planetarium 45° Erecting Prism (terrestrial use, M48 SC thread adapter)
- Meade #918A 1.25” Diagonal Prism
- Complete 6-piece Plössl eyepiece set (4mm–32mm) in hard aluminum case
- Meade Series 4000 Super Plössl 26mm
- ZWO ASI224MC Color Planetary Camera (boxed) — the go-to camera for lunar and planetary imaging on SCTs
- Optolong 2” Variable Polarizer Filter
- 6-piece color filter set + moon filter
- Explore Scientific Illuminator II illuminated finderscope
- Meade 8x50 Rear-Focus Viewfinder with bracket
- TPO 2” SCT Crayford Dual-Speed Focuser (spare/upgrade, boxed)
- Arbor Scientific Giant Prism ∙ Celestron Night Vision Red LED Flashlight
- Orion lens cleaning kit
Everything you need to walk outside and start observing tonight — or attach a camera and start capturing planets.
