This is next generation technology built on Meade's original ETX concept to create the most advanced electronically-controlled telescopes that include automatic GO TO object-location with the Autostar Computer Controller (optional). Perfect for both the beginner and the advanced astronomer who already owns a larger instrument, this is the perfect ultra portable, diffraction-limited field telescope. In deep-space the motivated observer will find it difficult to exhaust the quantity of visible phenomena, whether it's the incandescent filamentary structure of the Orion Nebula, or the elliptical luminosity of the Andromeda Galaxy with its brilliant nucleus.
