The ETX-60AT is Meade’s ‘pocket rocket’ from the ETX family of compact, electronically-controlled, go-to telescopes. Many of these are high-powered, narrow-field Maksutov-Cassegrain telescopes, but the ETX-60 is a 60mm x 350mm, f/5.8, multi-coated Achromatic Refractor that provides exquisite widefield optical performance in an easy to use, ultra-portable, lightweight package. It’s the ultimate in automated ‘grab and go’ convenience for using at home or taking with you anywhere at a moment's notice!
The Autostar 494 hand controller can automatically locate over 1,450 celestial objects from its internal database. After an easy, 60-second alignment of the telescope's computer to the sky, you can find and observe named stars, double stars, star clusters, nebulae, galaxies, the moon and the major planets from Mercury to Neptune. Just select the target from a scrolling menu in the Autostar display, press GO TO, and watch as the telescope moves to place the object in the field of view. Once an object is located, Autostar directs the telescope to track it automatically. And if you want to explore the sky but aren’t sure what you might enjoy seeing, a “Tonight’s Best” guided tour will automatically determine what can be viewed at that time, date and location, then take you to the best objects one by one at the press of a button!

[SOLD]
This ETX-60 comes with a Meade soft carry bag that holds the telescope, hand controller and two eyepieces: a Meade MA25mm for wide-field images and an MA9mm for higher-magnification views of the Moon and planets. (The ETX-60 takes standard 1.25” eyepieces, if you want to use others). The alloy tripod, with its detachable eyepiece tray, has its own Meade soft carry bag. The lightweight ETX-60 is easy to pack or carry when travelling and its 6 internal penlight/AA batteries can power the telescope for up to 20 hours usage.
The complete ETX-60 observing kit, in very good condition, with all of the above items as pictured, plus Meade Instruction Manual, Meade ‘Star Navigator’ astronomy software on CD-ROM, and a copy of a very useful astronomy guidebook ‘The Star Guide’ (which includes a separate plastic planisphere), to help you learn your way around the night sky, for just
$300, which includes careful packing and registered postage to anywhere in Australia. Inquiries by PM only, please.
