The Advanced Coma Free (ACF) optics of this Meade 8" f/10 telescope are mounted in precision-machined aluminum cells and, in turn, mounted in sturdy steel tubes which are baked with high-grade textured enamel paint. The optical tube assembly is closed, reducing air currents inside the tube. This prevents distortion of an otherwise sharp image. Plus, a closed tube significantly helps keep the optics clean. The corrector lens fully corrects for spherical aberration and provides pinpoint star images. Water white glass is used in all ACF corrector lenses to maximize light transmission. The use of water white glass results in an increase of light transmission in excess of 10%, as compared to competing telescopes using soda lime glass.
