In the hands of the serious astronomer or astrophotographer the new Meade LX400ACF Advanced Coma Free Telescope is an instrument that will produce razor sharp star images across the entire field of view on par with the best professional observatories. Suddenly you find out such telescope is available for one-fifth of what you thought - and you won't have to wait six months for it to be built. The telescope that is praised as "approaching perfection" by industry critics and astronomers alike.

The telescope with stateof-the-art optics and mechanics. The telescope that can handle the largest CCD chips. Imagine you're a seasoned astrophotographer saving up for the fast f-ratio, wide-field, comafree, custom telescope of a lifetime. ACF optical system perform at the same high level as comparable RC systems costing thousands more.

The use of the corrector plate in the ACF system creates a closed and protected optical tube, reduces astigmatism and eliminates the diffraction spikes inherent in the traditional RC design. Meade Advanced Coma Free Telescopes deliver the same sharp, flat, coma-free field from edge to edge as a typical Ritchey-Chretien. Meade LX400 ACF Advanced Coma-Free Telescopes is a huge jump over the traditional Schmidt-Cassegrain as far as sharpness of image, flatness of field, and color.
