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.
Please only PM to discuss options if interested – Thank you
Hi Jurgen ! Its Andrew from Newcastle. I have acquired the same telescope and wondered whether I could trouble you to send me some setup photos of the Cat6 cabling and the connections to the powerhub cameras etc. Also please let me know how you connect the NUC (?) to the your PC indoors (Remote Desktop ? - perhaps a sketch of the wiring control setup?
I am recently retired and need some younger braincells providing a few pointers...
Many thanks mate!
Cheers
