Product Description
Aperture: 12-Inch. Focal Length: 3048mm. Focal Ratio: f/10. UHTC Coatings, 1.25-Inch Diagonal Prism. LX90-ACF For the truly discerning astronomer who will not tolerate anything but the very best, there is Meade’s Advanced Coma-Free (ACF) optical system. ACF takes all of the features of our SC models and then ups the ante. With it’s technologically superior optical design, ACF gives a flatter, coma-free field of view with pinpoint images all the way to the edge of the field, rivaling Ritchey-Crétien performance at a fraction of the cost. ACF is the perfect solution for the serious astroimager or visual astronomer looking for observatory-class optics. GPS – LX90 can do more than track satellites. It talks to them as well. Turn it on and the built-in Sony GPS sensor immediately determines your precise date, time and location. AutoAlign then uses this info to align your scope for a tour of the most spectacular sights in the universe. EASY ALIGN –LX90s are smart scopes that know the night sky right out of the box. Easy Align picks two alignment stars for you and places them right in your viewfinder. Just center them to fine tune your alignment and the wonders of the universe are at your fingertips. OVERSIZED PRIMARY MIRROR – Only Meade manufactures their primary mirrors in diameters larger than their listed aperture (e.g. the diameter of the 8-Inch LX90’s primary mirror is actually 8.25-Inch).This additional 1/4-Inch yields a wider, fully illuminated field-of-view, and allows you to see the light other telescopes leave behind.

Product Description
Perfect for the amateur astronomer, for an amazing look at our closet celestial neighbors.Amazon.com Review
The Tasco Luminova 660x is a good 60mm beginners telescope, complete with all the accessories you’ll need to study Lunar craters, Jupiter’s moons, and even the rings of Saturn. The package includes a lightweight tripod, three 1.25-inch eyepieces (H25, H12.5, and SR4), two barlow lenses, a Moon filter, a Solar projection screen, and even a program disk that turns your computer into a desktop planetarium.

The Alt-Azimuth tripod included with the Tasco Luminova package is light and easy to use, but it doesn’t track stars and planets as the Earth rotates. It’s best to use the low power 25mm eyepiece to find your target, then use a high power lens to zoom in for a closer look.

While “more power” is a good advertising slogan, I have more fun with this little telescope by keeping the power down. In fact, the best upgrade for this telescope is a low power Celestron 25mm E-Lux eyepiece (about 32x). The Celestron E-lux eyepiece has a much wider field of view than the standard equipment H25 eyepiece. A wider view means the Moon remains visible nearly twice as long, I see more than twice as many Milky Way stars at one time, and it’s easier to find deep space objects like the Orion Nebula and the Andromeda Galaxy! As a general rule, 60mm telescopes perform best at magnifications of 120x or less. With a 6mm E-Lux eyepiece (133x) for example, I can actually see Saturn’s rings or the pine needles on a distant tree branch more clearly than I can using Tasco’s economy-grade high power eyepieces and barlows. The high power 400x and 660x images are basically useless because they are dim, fuzzy and hard to focus.

Overall the Tasco Luminova 660x is a good beginners telescope with a generous accessory package. One of its virtues is that it can be easily upgraded with better eyepieces. For a little more money, the Nexstar 60 GT is a 60mm telescope complete with a computerized tracking system. In this price range, also take a look at Celestron’s Firstscope 60AZ and Orion’s Spaceprobe 3 Altaz, which come with better eyepieces right out of the box.–Jeff Phillips

Pros:

• Low cost
• Lots of accessories
• Easy to add better 1.25-inch eyepieces

Cons:

• Does not track stars and planets
• Narrow field eyepieces
