• $21,000 Telescope | Me...
My college's (Barstow Community College) observatory has this exact telescope on a fixed, custom-built equatorial mount.Wish I could afford it. It's a beast of a telescope. Although not as big as Lowell Observatory's 42-inch Hall telescope. Clearest view of Jupiter I have EVER seen. Makes the 16" Meade feel like a toy.
"All you need is a decent-sized telescope with some features".
Brilliant statement. "Go get a thing and some stuff" :)
Buys 21k telescope...slews to the moon.
these large SCTs are typically used for in-solar-system viewing and imaging, so that makes sense.
I may buy one someday in the future. 21k is like a car. I can image The farthest Objects in the solar system with it.
Maybe one day, I will own a telescope like this one.
Good day from even farther in the future. Meade/Orion went belly up. RIP Meade, one of the best manufacturers of telescopes ever.
I have a friend who bought one of these. To date he is still not used it. The thing is huge
same about me, never used it yet ))) it is huge and heavy.
Sold this basic scope at dealer cost $14,995 + $100 - charged a few hundred for freight, Meade dropped shipped to our clients with no charge.
The company invoiced a 2% discount for 30 day payment. Long retired, remaining, new (vintage) inventory listed online at astroptx. One of
these resides at our high school in New Milford Connecticut. Now 78, considering, in a few years, the gifting of stock to 501-C3 organizations.
I just emailed you
I heard Meade filed for chapter 13 a couple of years ago, are they on a come back, did some else's bought them out? are they still making telescopes, Thanks Alien Tech
Orion bought them recently.
7/2024: Good Day from the Future: The problem with the LX200 and I assume all the LX series is that you still must manually/automatically in combination, align the telescope on 2 stars that the database will offer you. Where I live now, I don't have much "clear overhead view" of the sky. I did when I lived in Arizona though. So, I can't really get a precise Alignment. What do you do if you want to do Solar Observation? Daytime? How do you "align the telescope? I'm presently on my 2nd 10 inch Meade LX200. This one is a GPS with Enhanced Optical elements. I give up. Spell check won't change the mispells. So live with them. The LX Series of Telescopes, otherwise are superb in every way. My current one is 14 years old and works fine. The micro focus adjustment needed to be replaced. If you want a High End "reasonably-priced" telescope, these are an excellent choice IMO. Thanks & Best Regards
Do. A “TWO STAR ALIGNMENT “ and manually pick the two alignment stars that are in clear view of your location. It’s OK if they are within the same quadrant of the sky.
Thank you for the Demo on Meade LX 600.,
I would like to know, if, (where) I can buy an Equatorial Wedge, (old pre-used). Found on the Site, but felt it was too expensive.
I need one for the LX200 Model.
Thanks once again for the Show..
Kind Regards..❤🎉
You may find pre-used on ebay, Facebook marketplace or if u r lucky then on Amazon too. You can check up with your local astronomy shops they might help you to find one. Also, ask in reddit and various other astro forums...🤗🤗
El meade de 16 pulgadas es un monstruo de teléscopio es una maravilla tecnologica
I was interested in a 12" LX850 until customer support hung up on me. It seems that getting information about this scope is impossible. I don't think Meade is doing anything to help restore confidence in them. I was hoping they would be at NEAF.
Who is,here after SSR's home visit interview? ✋️
It would be good for everything including planets.
Someday, Jennifer. Someday!
I bought a telescope at Walmart for about 5 day dollars and I looked at the sky and got the same results I wonder why this one is so expensive, I bet it’s the cool blue color, I really do like the blue. I might get one.
No offense, but if you're shopping for telescopes at Walmart, this is not the scope for you.
What can I see with that ? How about the quality of the viewing ?
Can we use it manually??
I can't find the 21k one. Where can I find it?
I saw a lovely scope for £165,000
Where?
@@green1880FLO
Todas propagandas e reviews de telescópio não mostram as imagens geradas por eles, será porque?
Quem quer fazer propaganda de graça?
Im just having a 4,7 inch maksutov....how big different
The moment I have 21k dollars, Ima have this in my houseroof
This should be a great investment for my channel...
If this compare to planewave cdk350 which is better?
Planewave all day. But that's an entirely different scope. Your best bet would be to buy an older classic LX200 16" or just the older OTA. You can get them for around $6,000. These are best for sticking eye pieces in and observing and astrophotography. The Planewave is for astrophotography only.
Meade isn't the same company they were in the 80's and 90's. Quality has suffered and any time you have an issue, you have to ship it back, at your expense, which can get really high considering the size and weight of them.
Depends on your purpose. Both designs have advantages and disadvantages. The CDK350 is only 14" aperture. The L350 is more versatile than the LX600 mount if other optical packages are desired. In a permanent mount situation it would really depend on specific intended use. The 16" series is a long used optical system(in the LX200 F/10 format) in professional and private institutions worldwide.
I would buy the L350 and the 16" LX600 F/8 for more versatility unless you were using an extremely oversized sensor for data collection.
@@mycarolinaskies -- The L350 is a nice mount, but I tend to favor mounts that lock instead of having friction clutches. I had a Losmandy G11 and hated it. I'm probably going to get something like a Paramount or Astro- Physics. I'm more into visual than astrophotography. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I want that!😍 🌃
One day ❤
Dear god.. and Santa..........
No... just ..no.
Haha
"How much expensive" ?
That's what happens when a foreigner writes the script that AI narration reads.
How much expensive a telescope can get? Hahaha
10 billion $ James Webb telescope
I prefer my telescope's features to be built in, not in built...1:33. I guess I'll have to look elsewhere...
Seriously, is this the state of literacy/proper grammar, or is some AI on the fritz?
Me how can't afford sh*t: 😔
most imp. question is, how much does it weigh?
640 lbs
@@TheAlienTechs Jesus
A little over 200lbs
The telescope fork OTA assembly is ~238lbs, the tripod is another ~80lbs. But the upper assembly breaks into 3 component parts, the largest being the OTA-upper fork at about 125lbs.
@@kennyg1358 both of you are bullshitters. it weighs 318.0 lbs.
There's a 16 inch with just 4,300$ though so no need to spend a lot of money
For $4,300 you get a telescope that will only last a few years. The base is made of particle board, the encoders are prone to issues over time.
The 16" SCT is a professional grade telescope built to last much longer, but yes it does come with a very hefty price. I have one of them and bought it used for much less than sticker. But it's a forever telescope that the optics will last longer than I'll probably live. The mount is extremely substantial and if the drive system were to fail there are aftermarket systems if necessary.
Also cassegrain telescopes have greater magnification than the normal ones (refractor and reflectors)
@@ummeabdullah4761Well,sort of… The SCT typically has a longer focal length that is more forgiving of high magnification. However, there are certainly refractors and even reflectors with longer focal lengths than this SCT, so it really depends on the scope.
:(
