Hi all,
I'm selling my Meade LXD75 8" SN-8 Schmidt-Newtonian telescope with Autostar goto and German EQ mount. The telescope is just under 2 years old and is in "as new" original condition. Check the Meade site for details.
Specs are as follows -
Focal length - 812mm
Clear aperture - 8" (203mm)
Focal ratio - f/4
Resolving power - 0.56 arc secs
Finder scope - 8 x 50mm
Eye piece - 1.25" 26mm Super Plossl
OTA weight - 10.89kg (24lbs).
STANDARD FEATURES
Telescope Mounting: LXD75, German-type
Setting Circle Diameters, RA and Dec.: 2.25"
Polar Illuminated Viewfinder: included
RA Control System: 9-speed, microprocessor-controlled, 12v DC, 72mm (2.83") worm gear
Declination Control System: 9-speed, microprocessor-controlled, 12v DC, 72mm (2.83") worm gear
Hemispheres of Operation: North and South
GO TO Pointing Precision (approx.): 15 arc mins.
Slow-Motion Controls: electric, both axes
Bearings: 2 – Ball Bearings RA: outer – 1x58mm, 1x47mm; inner – 1x45mm, 1x35mm DEC: outer – 1x72mm, 1x47mm; inner – 1x55mm, 1x30mm
AutoStar® Hand Controller: PIC 16C57 microcontroller; 2 line x 16 alphanumeric character display; 20-button keypad, red LED backlit
Main Telescope Controller: Motorola® 68HC11 microprocessor; 1-Megabyte flash memory (field reprogrammable); 32K RAM
Batteries (user-supplied): 8 x D-cells. LXD75-Series models may alternatively be powered from an automobile cigarette lighter plug, using the #607 Power Cord, or from a 115v AC home outlet, using the #547 AC Adapter; both the #607 and the #547 include 25 ft. cords. (not included)
Battery Life (approx.): 40 hours
Onboard Celestial Object Database: 30,223 objects
Slew Speeds both axes: 1x, 2x, 8x, 16x, 64x, 128x sidereal; 1.5°/sec., 3°/sec., 4.5°/sec.
Tracking Rates: sidereal, lunar, or custom-selected from 2000 incremental rates
The asking price is $1400.00 ONO.
I am in Adelaide, so if you want it delivered you would have to cover the cost. My mobile number is 0414805833.
Cheers
Rick
