Meade Telescopes Among Hot New Products for 2006
Sky & Telescope magazine listed their version of Hot New Products for 2006 and a line of Meade telescopes made the cut. The telescope market has had a gap between high-end custom telescopes and the popular Schmidt-Cassegrain models until recently. Made for the astrophotography market, the Meade RCX400 Advanced Ritchey-Chrétien telescopes come loaded with functions, including an electronic controlled collimation and focus, dew heaters, thermally stable carbon-fiber tubes, and a heavy-duty tripod for stability. You won't find any distortions of the stars straggling at the edge of your view in these Meade telescopes since they come free of coma images, as you would expect from a typical Ritchey-Chrétien telescope. The Ritchey-Chrétien telescope is the standard for every professional telescope used, including observatories and the Hubble Space Telescope.
