Are you interested in buying a Meade Telescope? Then this is the page for you. OPT is very proud of being a Meade distributor and we carry full lines of many of their fine telescopes! With so many choose from, how do you even begin to decide what's right for you? Let's take a brief look at each Meade Telescope Series and see what they have to offer...

Meade StarNavigator Telescopes are fully GoTo telescopes. Its on-board computer knows the night sky.

Meade ETX Telescopes provide crystal clear views. In a world where quality optics are routinely sacrificed on the altar of offshore production and increased profit, Meade stubbornly continues to hand craft the optics of every ETX telescope.

The Meade LS with its LightSwitch™ Technology and built-in ECLIPS™ CCD Camera will revolutionize the way you look and think about telescopes! The LS is available in 6” and 8” ACF or SC versions.

The Meade LT Series Telescopes now Include AudioStar™ handbox with speaker and Astronomer Inside™, over 30,000 object library, precision optics that feature Oversized Low-Expansion Borsilicate Primary Mirror, Schott® Borofloat® Glass Corrector Plate, Diffraction Limited Optics. The Meade LT telescope is available in 6” and 8” ACF or SC versions.

Meade LightBridge Telescopes are not just big telescopes. They're big telescopes that go anywhere. The LightBridge Dobsonian telescopes are available in 10”, 12” and ultra-huge 16” sizes.

Meade LX90-ACF Telescopes can locate over 30,000 objects including itself. Turn it on and the built-in Sony(R) GPS receiver immediately determines your precise date, time, and location. In just minutes, your scope is ready to give you a tour of the most spectacular sights in the Universe with GPS precision. The Meade LX90 is available in 8”, 10” and 12” ACF or SC versions.

Meade Series 6000 ED APO Refractor Telescopes offer crisp wide-field observing and imaging... and nothing can beat a true triple-element apochromatic refractor (APO). This is especially true in astrophotography, where APOs have produced some of the most beautiful images of the heavens ever taken from Earth. The Meade Series 6000 ED APO’s are available in 80mm, 115mm and 130mm sizes.

Meade LX200-ACF Telescopes are a type of reflector that delivers a coma-free, flat field of view via hyperbolic primary and secondary mirrors. "Coma Free" telescopes (from a variety of manufacturers) are found in most of the world's top observatories and NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. The Meade LX200 is available in 8”, 10”, 12” 14” and 16” observatory class ACF versions.
