In a world where our floors can be cleaned by robots and our cars help us back up, find the nearest Starbuck's, and keep our seats toasty warm, wouldn't it be nice to have a telescope that did everything for us except walk itself out on it's three legs and plop down in the backyard? Enter the innovative new Meade LS Telescopes! These amazing 6" & 8" telescopes use a plethora of high-tech instrumentation to align themselves without the need for human assistance. Meade's "LightSwitch Technology" uses GPS to figure out the date, time, and location, and Level North Technology and an integrated CCD camera to build a real-time map of the night sky and align the ETX-LS without any help from you!

OPT stocks a huge inventory of Meade telescopes, from the ever-popular ETX series to the larger LX200-ACF telescopes. We also carry the Meade LX90-ACF and LX-90SC telescopes, the ETX AT telescopes, the LXD75 telescopes and many more. We stock the Deep Sky Imager cameras, all Series 5000 eyepieces, filters, focal reducers, cases, adapters, wedges, binoculars, diagonals, spotting scopes and much more! If Meade makes it, OPT sells it and probably has it in stock for immediate delivery.
