Internal Crayford-style primary mirror focusing system with a dual speed 7:1 focus control, which eliminates image shift and mirror РїВ¬вЂљop.These optics produce wider, РїВ¬вЂљatter РїВ¬Рѓelds with no coma for pinpoint stars out to the edge of larger imaging sensors or extreme wide angle eyepieces. Fast f/8 Advanced Coma-Free (ACF) optical systems on the 10', 12' and 14' OTAs.No separate computer, no guide star selection, no user focus. StarLockРІвЂћСћ full-time automatic integrated guider assists with ultra-precise polar alignment, РїВ¬Рѓnds and centers targets and then automatically locks onto a РїВ¬Рѓeld star as faint as 11th magnitude for down to one arcsecond guiding.Using revolutionary new technology, every aspect of this amazing telescope system has been designed to deliver the new standard in astrophotographic and visual performance: YouРІР‚в„ўll РїВ¬Рѓnd that this telescope system has all you need to explore the Universe we live in.Р”Вrawing on over 40 years of experience and innovation, Meade Instruments introduces the latest in a long line of advanced astronomical products: the LX600.

Move the primary mirror to the travel position by rotating the focus knob counter clockwise until its travel limit is reached. Retain this screw for future use as it is suggested that mirror be locked down anytime the OTA is shipped. Failure in removal can result in damage to the focusing mechanism. This screw must be removed before attempting to focus the OTA. This screw is on the back cell of the OTA, near the focus knob, and is identiРїВ¬Рѓed by a dab of red paint.

This screw secures the primary mirror in a РїВ¬Рѓxed position during travel thereby protecting the focusing mechanism from shock damage. The LX600 f/8 ACF optical tube assembly (OTA) is shipped from the factory with the focusing mechanism protected by a travel screw. Children should always have adult supervision while observing. Do not look through the telescope or Finder Scope as it is moving. Do not point the telescope at or near the Sun. Looking at or near the Sun will cause instant and irreversible damage to your eye.Р”В®ye damage is often painless, so there is no warning to the observer that damage has occurred until it is too late. Never use a Meade Р’В® LX600 Telescope to look at the Sun !
