Meade Auto-Align gives Meade DS Telescopes the same precision, ease-of-use, and accuracy of Telescopes costing hundreds and even thousands of dollar more. Using Automatic Alignment could not be easier. There is no time and date to enter, and no scrolling through a long list of locations. Just enter your Zip Code into the Meade AutoStar and Auto Align automatically aligns your Meade Telescope and finds two fine-tuning stars for you. Center these two stars and you are ready to tour the universe.

The LNT (Level North Technology) Module of DS 2120 MAK 102mm 4" Maksutov-Cassegrain Meade Telescope 20103 features electronic compass, electronic level, precise time, advanced red projection-point SmartFinder. The Meade Smart Finder helps novices with one of the early frustrating parts of astronomy: Centering objects in the finder scope. This is achieved by centering the red dot on the object you want to see. Then move to your telescope 's eyepiece for a closer look. The SmartFinder finder scope is upgraded from the previous generation of DS-2000 telescopes with new multi-coated optics for locating objects quick and easy.

The Meade MAK Telescope DS-2120 features the DS-2000 Altazimuth mount, providing a more fluent motion in altitude and azimuth.
