Meade LX80 Coronado SolarMax II Telescope with Multi-Mount features a unique tuning system for a revolutionary telescope that can detect light spectrums few other telescopes can penetrate. This telescope has been designed for up close and personal observation of our sun and similar stars in the universe. The RichView tuning system lies at the heart of these Meade telescopes for solar viewing. With RichView, the SolarMax II can zero in on precise wavelengths on either side of the hydrogen-alpha line, allowing you to obtain high-contrast views of flares, surface aberrations, and filaments. Re-tune the telescope to focus on other areas, such as the solar limb. The Meade LX80 SolarMax II uses fully coated optics for superior light transmission and clear images, even of bright objects like the Sun, and it has one of the widest tuning ranges of any other solar telescope. Sub 0.7 angstrom bandwidth filtering allows you to see the surface of the Sun with the Meade LX80 RichView Solar Telescope better than ever before.

The Meade LX80 Solar Telescope comes packaged with one of Meade's most versatile telescope mounts. The Meade LX80 Multi-Mount is a multi-use telescope accessory that provides a smooth and secure motorized mounting platform for high-powered astronomical telescopes. This Meade telescope accessory is designed to function in one of three tracking modes: German Equatorial, single OTA alt-az, and dual OTA alt-az. The computerized MultiMount is powered by the AudioStar computer control system, which has a catalog of over 30,000 celestial objects to observe if you get tired of looking at the sun. The MultiMount can direct the Meade LX80 Coronado Telescope with an accuracy of up to 5 arcminutes in high precision mode and also features adjustable tracking rates and slew speeds. For observing the Sun in its own bright red hydrogen-alpha light, use the Meade LX80 SolarMax II Telescope with MultiMount.
