Get a GREAT DEAL on this package!
We acquired a few units of the ETX-90 and ETX-125 scopes from a Meade dealer that recently went out of business. Because we are technically not a Meade dealer, these scopes do not come with a warranty. But the scopes are brand new, complete and sealed in their original boxes (We will open the boxes and visually inspect the contents before shipping, if you like) as they come from Meade. These are not refurbished units.
This same ETX package is listed at Telescopes.com for almost $1000 plus shipping. On eBay, these are going for well over $800 without shipping and warranty. We are offering these on close-out for only $775 with shipping included in the continental US. You'd pay as much for a USED package on Astromart!
Meade ETX-125AT Telescope with UHTC, Full-Sized Tripod, GOTO AutoStar Controller:
The Meade ETX-125AT is an extremely versatile, high-resolution telescope with features similar to those once available only with larger and more specialized imaging systems. With pushbutton controls, automatic tracking of celestial objects, and diffraction-limited imaging, an ETX telescope may be all the telescope ever required by many terrestrial and astronomical observers. Your ETX telescope reveals nature in an ever-expanding level of detail. Observe the feather structure of an eagle from 50 yards or study the rings of the planet Saturn from a distance of 800 million miles. Focus beyond the Solar System and observe majestic nebulae, ancient star clusters, remote galaxies, and even stars recently discovered to have planets orbiting about them. Meade ETX telescopes are instruments fully capable of growing with your interest and are ideal for both the casual observer and serious astronomer alike.
Meade ETX 125 AT Telescope is a part of Meade ETX Series which in 1996 was called revolution in amateur astronomy and within one year of its introduction Meade ETX became the
largest-selling modern Telescope in the world. Meade ETX-125 AT Telescope is a perfect
telescope for newbies in astronomy, this telescope will be a very helpful piece
of combined electronics and telescope technology to help you to enjoy your new
freedom in observing night sky. AutoStar Controller
The Meade AutoStar controller helps you quickly find, and GoTo more
than 30,000 objects in the sky. View planets, stars, galaxies, nebulae
and comets - all at the push of a button. You don't already know the
night sky? Let the pre-programmed Tonight's Best tour in your AutoStar
automatically point your telescope to the best objects in the sky.
Stargazing has never been so easy and straightforward.
Deluxe Field Tripod
Contructed of strong, lightweight steel, the fulllength Meade #884
Deluxe Field Tripod provides a rigid mounting platform for virtually
any ETX observing application.
Ultra-High Transmission Coatings
The optics are enhanced by Meade UHTC,
a series of exotic optical coatings precisely tuned to optimize the
visual, photographic and CCD-imaging performance of the ETX telescope.
Image brightness is increased by nearly 15% over that offered by
standard Meade optical coatings. This means that stars, galaxies and
nebulae observed through your ETX-125 will be dramatically brighter.
Even observations of the Moon and planets will benefit from UHTC's increased image brightness across the full light spectrum.
