For sale is a 10″ Meade LX200 GPS Schmidt- Cassegrain telescope,with UHTC

The telescope and all other items are in immaculate condition, and have neverbeen stored in an outside observatory, only indoors. I have not used thisenough to warrant holding on to it, hence the sale, and condition.

These telescopes are research- grade quality, and very widely used. 

The telescope has integral GPS, and can automatically find its level andposition, with minimal user input.  This telescope has been superceded by the ACF version. It is debatablewhether this adds any value to the optics, as ACF is only really apparent atthe very edge of the field of view, where you wouldn’t be looking anyway…. Ithas benefits for astrophotography, but the difference is minimal. The ACF version costs 3,695 new, and of course, doesnt come withanywhere near the amount of gear I have included here. So, get yourself abargain, all the kit youll need to be set-up for some great viewing andastrophotography. Illeven include new batteries! J This really is a stunning item, in terms of quality, condition, andincluded accessories. This item is collection only. I will consider delivery to mainland UK at cost, and will treat eachrequest individually, please message me 

If you have any questions, please message me.  I have included below a very detailed list of whats included, and thefeatures that all the items provide;  Meade 10 LX200 GPS telescope with GPS and heavy duty fork mount An 10″ aperture gives galaxies detectable colours and splits the most stubborn of binary stars  GPS alignment system with 16-channel GPS receiver, true- level and Norrth sensors Meade UHTC Coatings  Primary mirror lock  Heavy-duty fork mount  Manual and electric slow-motion controls on both axes  Permanently-programmable Smart Drive  185-speed drive controls on both axes  High-Precision Pointing 

Original packaging for various accessories  Telescope tube and mount; Thick cardboard outer, foam inner. Perfect for secure storage and transitField Tripod box; Thick cardboard outer. 8×50 Finder Scope box90 Diagonal Prism boxColour Filter set box26mm Super Plossl eyepiece box (came with telescope)3x Telenegative Barlow Lens box        8×50 Finder scope The Meade Viewfinder ‘s generous 50mm aperture allows you find fainter deep space objects than a standard 6X30 finder. The 8X50 Viewfinder is capable of spotting objects over one magnitude dimmer, making it easier for you to locate faint nebulae and galaxies. The Meade 8X50 Finder scope offers exceptional aid in finding objects at low power for polar alignment or quick spotting. Extra magnitude grasp over standard finders.   Meade Field Tripod The Meade Standard Field Tripod features super strong and exceptionally rigid chromed steel legs for excellent vibration damping. Telescope may be mounted in altitude-azimuth (vertical-horizontal) mode or can be equatorially (polar) aligned using an optionally available Meade wedge. Height is adjustable from 34″ to 54″, allowing for comfortable viewing from either standing or seated observing positions. Gives the telescope the rock solid, research-grade foundation needed for demanding applications such as high power observing and astrophotograpy/ imaging. Includes a handy eye-piece holder for easy access or when swapping eyepieces    Autostar II controller  The Autostar II control system includes all of the features that made previous LX200 models the largest-selling serious telescopes in the world.  Autostar Suite Software downloadable from the Meade website The open architecture of the Meade Autostar permits the update of operating software, the loading of events such as comets, satellites, and minor planets, and allows you to share or “clone” this information with other Autostars. In addition, Autostar II includes an expanded 3.5 Megabyte memory, permitting a greatly enlarged database of more than 145,000 celestial objects, a database that is immediately accessible on the Autostar II display. Here is a partial listing of the Autostar II database: New General Catalog (NGC) – 7840 Index Catalog (IC) – 5386 Messier Catalog (M) – 110 Caldwell Catalog – 109 Named Objects – 227 Herschel Catalog – 400 Abell Catalog of Galaxy Clusters – 2712 Arp Catalog of Irregular Galaxies – 645 Uppsala Galaxy Catalog – 12,940 Morphological Catalog of Galaxies – 12,939 General Catalog of Variable Stars – 28,484 SAO and Hipparcos Star Catalogs – 31,090   Meade Zero Image-shift focuser Now you can obtain the most precise image focus possible…truly to a microscopic level…during visual and astrophotographic applications, and, during CCD applications, simultaneously maintain precise image centration on even the smallest CCD chips. The Meade Zero Image-Shift Microfocuser operates at 4 different speeds from extremely slow to fast; the entire microfocusing operation is actuated through the Autostar II hand controller. Coarse manual focusing is achieved through the telescope’s manual focus knob. Allows micro-focusing in 4 speeds, from very slow to fast, via the AutoStar II hand controller.   Meade 90 diagonal Star diagonals let you view objects at a 90 angle from the direction the telescope is pointing. This means your viewing session will be much more comfortable – especially when the telescope is pointing straight up! Uses an interior prism instead of a mirror. Allows for comfortable viewing when objects are near the zenith.   Orion Dew shield  A Lens Shade/Dew Cap is a tube, of approximately the same diameter as your telescope tube, designed to fit on the front end of the telescope to reduce the amount of dew that builds up on the corrector plate. It also serves as a Lens Shade by preventing stray light from falling on the corrector plate, which greatly improves contrast.   Full Meade Super Plssl eyepiece set, in metal briefcase (40mm, 32mm, 26mm, 20mm, 15mm, 12.4mm, 9.7mm, 6.4mm) The world standard in telescope oculars, Meade Series 4000 eyepieces yield the widest possible fields of view, consistent with pinpoint edge-of-field sharpness and long eye reliefand yet with extremely low astigmatism, spherical aberration, and off-axis colour. Incorporating multicoated optics for optimum image contrast, these sophisticated 4- to 8-element designs permit levels of optical performance generally impossible to achieve with eyepieces of fewer elements.  All Series 4000 eyepieces include a soft rubber eye guard, custom fitted to each eyepiece with a bayonet mount. The eye guards fold down for eyeglass wearers, and in fact the folded eye guard shields eyeglasses from coming into contact with the metal eyepiece housings.  Designed to utilize the very latest in optical glass types, Meade 4-element Super Plssls are excellent general-purpose eyepieces. For observing hairline lunar and planetary detail, splitting close double stars, or for resolving faint nebulosity in deep space, Meade Super Plssls optimize the performance of any telescope  Each Series 4000 Super Plssl eyepiece is shipped in a dust-proof, threaded poly bottle for secure long-term storage.    Meade Series 4000 filters (No.12, No. 23A, No.80A, No.58) each individually boxedo   Colour filters are an essential tool of the lunar and planetary observer,for filters permit the observation and photography of surface detail that isoften virtually invisible without filtrationo    The use of a Meade Series 4000colour filter can mean the difference between seeing small craterlets in thefloor of Clavius on the Moon and not; it can mean the difference between seeingfive or six whirls, festoons, and loops in Jupiters north equatorial belt andseeing one or two; it can mean the difference between seeing the inner crpering of Saturn and not. Depending on atmospheric conditions on both the Earthand the planet being observed, the advantages of colour filters can be anywherefrom subtle to dramatic. o    Meade Series 4000 filters are alarge 26mm in clear aperture and are manufactured from the purest crown opticalglass, dyed-in-the-mass (not colour coated); there are no finer filtersavailable for telescopic applications. Each filter glass is anti-reflectioncoated on both sides and is mounted in a machined aluminium cell with theWratten No. of the filter marked on the side of the cell. Filters may bepiggybacked, or stacked, to achieve selective filtration of the visual colourspectrum. For visual applications Series 4000 filters thread into the barrelsof all Meade 1.25″ eyepieces, and into the barrels of virtually all other1.25″ eyepiece brands as well. o    Each Series 4000 filter is packedin a foam-fitted plastic case for secure long-term storage.o    #12 Yellow (74% transmission):Contrasts strongly with blue-coloured features on Jupiter and Saturn, while enhancingred and orange features. Lightens red-orange features on Mars, while reducingor blocking the transmission, and thereby increasing the contrast, ofblue-green areas. Useful in increasing the contrast of lunar features intelescopes 6″ aperture and larger.o    #23A Light Red (25%transmission): On telescopes of 6″ aperture and larger the #23A doesapproximately the same functions as the #21 filter, but with stronger contrastand enhancement of marginally defined blue-green surface detail. Useful primarilyon Jupiter, Saturn, and Mars. Increases contrast between Mercury and brightblue sky during daylight observations or during twilight.o    #58 Green (24% transmission): Useon telescopes 8″ aperture and larger to reject blue- and red-tonedstructures on the surface of Jupiter and thereby increase their contrastrelative to lighter parts of the disc. Also use for the enhancement of Saturnscloud belts and polar regions. Strongly increases contrast of Mars polar icecaps, and increases contrast of atmospheric phenomena on Venus.o    #80A Blue (30% transmission): Apopular filter for the study of Jupiter and Saturn. Enhances contrast of rillesand festoons in Jupiters cloud belts, as well as details of the Red Spot.Brings out detail in Saturns belts and polar phenomena. Very useful as acontrast-enhancing lunar filter.  Orion SkyGlow filter for filtering out light pollution (separately boxed) For observers viewing through a telescope from suburban or city skies, the Orion SkyGlow filter can significantly improve the quality of your view The SkyGlow filter enhances deep-sky observations in moderately light-polluted skies Broadband filter blocks the most common wavelengths of light pollution for increased contrast and better views SkyGlow eyepiece filters improve views of nebulas, galaxies as well as open and globular star clusters 1.25″ filter compatible with all 1.25″ Orion telescope eyepieces and filter-threaded 1.25″ accessories   Meade Barlow converter  Do you want to add some real horsepower to your eyepiece collection? Then consider the #128 Meade Barlow Lens… We’re talking triple the magnification! When placed into the focuser, the eyepiece is added to the Meade 3X barlow and held in place by a set screw. This automatically triples the amount of magnification power of your eyepiece. The Meade #128 Barlow uses a two-element optical design, giving high resolution and colour-corrected images!  Can even deliver more magnification than the telescopes limitations will allow, so youll never need more! Secure locking screw for your eyepiece. Meade quality construction and optical excellence.   Phillips Webcam A ToUCam II (I think!)
