As a seasoned astronomer, you want equipment that provides the best views of the night
sky. Only you can decide which of Meade’s premium optics to add to your collection.

Meade's f/8 and f/10 optical tubes are the ideal solution. Both are equipped with Meade’s
Advanced Coma-Free (ACF™) Optics and proprietary Ultra-High Transmission Coatings
(UHTC™), giving a razor-sharp coma-free image field and brighter images. High-contrast
baffling and oversized primary mirrors give darker backgrounds and improved off-axis
illumination. These OTAs are the perfect choice for both observing and imaging.
