## Overview

The Meade Instruments 0810-90-03 LX90-ACF is an 8-inch advanced coma-free telescope featuring a 2000mm focal length and ultra-high transmission coatings, designed for both amateur and professional astronomers. It includes a reflex finderscope, a manual focus system, and a battery-powered setup, making it perfect for on-the-go stargazing.

## Description

The patented Meade Advanced Coma-Free (ACF) optical design offers the coma-free pinpoint star images and flatter image fields greatly desired by discerning amateur astronomers, astrophotographers and professional observatories alike. This system also reduces the astigmatism and eliminates the diffraction spikes found in classical Ritchey-Chrétien designs. No competing Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope can make those claims. The 8" LX90 has an 8” diameter f/10 ACF optical system (focal length 2000mm) and Ultra-High Transmission Coatings (UHTC) for maximum image brightness and contrast. Electronics include the advanced Meade AudioStar computer system with over 30, 000 object library, multiple guided tours, High Precision Pointing capability, and Meade SmartDrive with Permanent Periodic Error Correction. Precise and quick star alignment is done near effortlessly with an incorporated 16 channel genuine Sony GPS receiver. The AudioStar is flash-updatable via free downloads at Meade (optional cable required). All LX90 models feature the solid and stable LX90 aluminum double fork mount, with fast slew speed adjustable from 1 to 7 degrees per second. Fine slewing and photographic guiding speeds can be adjusted from . 01x to 1x sidereal in one one-hundredth increments. The mount and all electronics are internally powered by 8 (user supplied) C-cell batteries which will typically operate the telescope for a generous 60 hours (optional Meade Universal AC adapter also available). The mount also has mechanical locks in both axis allowing adjustment even without power. The LX90 comes fully equipped with a heavy duty height adjustable Meade Field Tripod, 1. 25" diagonal prism, Series 4000 26mm 5-Element Plössl eyepiece, and Meade AutoStar Suite Astronomer Edition Software for PC and an 8x50 optical viewfinder with quick release bracket. Scope weight is 33 pounds with 19 pound tripod. Ships in 2 boxes. Product carries full one year Meade factory limited .

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do you like this item?**
A: Yes I do.  I've only had a chance to use it once due to medical issues.  I one time I used it was at a star party around March 2019.  Everybody that came around after looking through others said my telescope had the best view.  I was looking at the moon and Orion Nebula.

**Q: So three people say it doesn't include a tripod and one says it does? Does it include the field tripod or not?**
A: I think it comes with the tripod. I checked the Meade website for the same scope. It shows the same price and clearly mentions that the tripod is part of the package.

**Q: Why does amazon product says ultra high contrast in the corrector plate wordings while in other sites say ultra high transmission coatings?**
A: I don’t know, as I didn’t write the description.  But I love my both I own. I highly recommend the small Orion Starblaster 4.5” as well as the largest cassigrain that I could afford.  I would appreciate the moderator not editing my comment for content, stop asking me to answer questions.

**Q: Is the OTA the same as all other models (LX200, LX600, etc.)?**
A: This is the same ota used with the LX200 in all respects.  However the LX600 and LX850 use a new f/8 system
