Meade Autostar # 497 STAR FINDER Hard Carry Case, Compass & two Lenses - MA25mm &MA9mm
- Just because a star may be millions of years old, doesn't mean it should take you that long to find it.
THAT IS NO LONGER A PROBLEM WITH THIS
Meade ETX Premium Edition Astro Telescope.
Until now, the stargazer's two biggest challenges to enjoying the night sky have been aligning their telescope and finding objects.
Meade Automatic Alignment + SmartFinder Meade’s new ETX-Premier Edition telescope automatically levels your telescope, points it to North and sets the time. You just enter your location or zip code. After your Meade ETX completes its patented Level North automatic alignment procedure it will point to the first alignment star. Use the new wide-field SmartFinder to center the red dot over the alignment stars for ultra-precise pointing accuracy.It's that easy.

Meade Autostar Telescope Computer Handheld Controller #497 for Meade ETX/ EC Telescopes - 07436 is easy to use. Even the most novice observer will find himself or herself locating dozens of fascinating celestial objects the very first night out - from commonly-observed objects such as the rings of Saturn, the satellites of Jupiter, and the Orion Nebula (M42); to more difficult objects such as the Ring Nebula (M57) in Lyra, the Spiral Galaxy (M33) in Triangulum, and the Sombrero Galaxy (M104) in Virgo; to very obscure objects near the telescope 's threshold of visibility such as the diffuse nebula NGC 6559 in Sagittarius, the galactic star cluster NGC 1778 in Auriga, and the spiral galaxy NGC 3310 in Ursa Major.
Included within Meade Auto Star 's database are all of the following astronomical objects - a range of objects certain to keep even the most active amateur astronomer growing in his or her studies of the skies for years:
Meade Autostar #497 Object Database:
5,386 objects from the Index Catalog (IC); galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters of all types; the complete Index Catalog
7,840 objects from the New General Catalog (NGC); additional galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters of all types; the complete New General Catalog
109 objects from the Caldwell Catalog of the best objects for small telescopes
110 Messier (M) objects; the complete Messier catalog
16,800 stars from the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) catalog, including double stars, variable stars, and other stars of special note
50 Earth-orbiting satellites
26 asteroids, including all of the brightest asteroids
15 periodic comets
8 major planets from Mercury to Pluto
Any of the objects in the preceding listing can be located simply by calling up the object from Meade Auto-Star database and pressing GO TO. Within seconds Meade Autostar # 497 directs Meade ETX Telescope to move automatically to the object and place it within the telescopic field of view with uncanny precision.
Call-up of an object from the database is facilitated by Meade #497 Autostar 's simple menu options. For example, to enter NGC 6960 on Meade Autostar Hand Controller display, the observer selects in sequence (and in a few seconds of keystrokes): OBJECT/DEEP SKY/NGC OBJECTS/6960. When GO TO is pressed, Meade Telescope moves at 5° per second on both axes, simultaneously, to place NGC 6960, the Veil Nebula in the constellation Cygnus, in the telescope's field of view.
