Purchased this wonderfull SCT from Hugh (Ubique on IIS) 3 years ago. if you have had any interaction with Hugh you will know he was very fastidious with his equipment as I have been.

The SCT has spent its time in a Sirius 2.3m fully automated dome operat some 18 meters from my office through Cat6 cables to control all functions. Hugh was a close friend and Mentor over the years I new him as we lived close to each other and spent many an evening imaging.

The Meade 14" f/10 LX200 ACF Telescope has long been a classic fixture among Meade's LX series.
The patented Advanced Coma Free (ACF) optics produce impressively flat fields of view with no coma, even out to the edges of larger format cameras or extreme wide angle eyepieces. This makes the ACF system ideal for visual observers and astro-imagers alike. The Ultra-High Transmission Coatings (UHTC) are included as with all Meade ACF optics, yielding maximum image brightness and contrast at the eyepiece or camera sensor. The ACF system also reduces astigmatism and eliminates diffraction spikes. Designed and Manufactured in North America.
The ACF primary, secondary and corrector plate glass blanks are manufactured in the USA exclusively for Meade. Meade ACF telescopes, including the mounts, are manufactured and assembled in North America.
