Description

Anyone who has been to a star party and looked through a well made 16" telescope will appreciate how amazing the views are through a telescope this large.

Objects you can only glimpse in an 8" telescope you will go back to again and again and still see more detail not observed before.

Get together with your friends and see how many galaxies you can see in one field of view!

A 16" Meade Lightbridge will change your life.



• Diffraction Limited Optics (Bk7 optical glass): Meade optics consistently outperform telescopes of similar and larger aperture. Owners of the Lightbridge telescopes regularly marvel how detailed, crisp and full of contrast the views are through these telescopes. • Meade Optical Coatings: Aluminum Coatings with durable silicon dioxide over coat provides bright images full of detail.

 

• Dual speed 10:1 Crayford Focuser 2" with 1.25" Adapter: Smooth precise focusing without backlash is achieved with this classic design. A unique focus tension knob and focus lock design gives complete control over focus. Now includes 2 speed 10:1 fine focus adjustment for precise focus at high powers.

 

• Built-In Primary Mirror Cooling Fan: Bring the telescope into thermal equilibrium quickly and efficiently with the battery powered cooling fan.

 

• The 16" model has a full 18-point floatation primary mirror cell ensuring the telescopes optics are held precisely without flexure or astigmatism being introduced. The 16" model also includes rubber feet allowing you to stand the telescope upright during set up without disturbing the collimation of the primary mirror.
