The revolutionary ETX-LS astronomical telescope features the most advanced electronics and optics ever applied to a consumer telescope. Meade is producing the easiest-to-use, most entertaining, educational, highperformance telescope on the market by combining LightSwitch Technology, Advanced Coma Free Optics (ACF), Astronomer Inside multimedia output and a completely new mechanical design.
LightSwitch Technology:
Alignment system for completely hands free alignment. Using the Integrated Sensor Module and the built-in ECLIPS CCD imager on the telescope tube, our LightSwitch Technology allows the telescope to completely align itself with the sky without any input from the user. The user simply flips the LightSwitch on and the telescope finds its location, time, date, north, level, then locates and centers the alignment stars for a perfect alignment every time without user input.
We are confident the ETX-LS will not only meet - but exceed your expectations. The ETX-LS will amaze and excite you like very few astronomy products have over the past many years.
Just think about it, no other telescope on the market has a FULLY AUTOMATIC alignment process. Just turn it on and before you know it you are ready to view the many wonders of the night sky. No other telescope on the market has a built in speaker and "astronomer inside" with over 4 hours of audio detail about our night sky. No other telescope on the market has a video out port to connect a monitor so the user can view over 1/2 hour of animation about the key objects in the night sky. These features combine "entertainment and education". No other telescope on the market has this many features and innovations all in one compact, portable telescope.
