 Meade
ETX-90 PE
90mm (3.5") Maksutov Cassegrain Telescope with AutoStar
Controller and Deluxe Field TripodFor the casual or
beginning observer the Meade ETX-90PE may be all the telescope every
required. Or, for the advanced astronomer who already owns a
larger instrument, the ETX-90PE is the perfect ultra portable,
diffraction-limited field telescope. Observe the continually
changing cloud-belt patterns on the surface of the planet Jupiter;
shadows cast on to Jupiter as one of its four principal satellites
transits the planet's disc; the magnificent ring system and
satellites of Saturn as well as dusky markings and the ring-shadow
on the surface of Saturn; Moon craters by the hundred, plus lunar rilles, mountain ranges, and fault lines, all visible in brilliant,
high resolution, high-contrast detail; the variable phases of the
planets Mercury and Venus; prominent features on the surface of
Mars. In deep space, the motivated observer will find it difficult
to exhaust the quantity of visible phenomena: the incandescent
filamentary structure of the Orion Nebula; the elliptical luminosity
of the Andromeda Galaxy with its brilliant nucleus; the shining orb
of the Hercules globular cluster with many of its outermost stars
resolvable. These are only a few of the literally thousands of
celestial objects within the view of the Meade ETX-90PE telescope.
