Meade ETX-90 PE Premier Edition Telescope

Until now, the stargazer's two biggest challenges to enjoying the night sky have been aligning their telescope and finding objects. Meade's new ETX Premier Edition eliminates these two challenges and makes astronomy as easy as pushing a button right out of the box. Want to see a hard-to-find deep space galaxy? Simply push a button. The same goes for planets, stars, nebulae and more. Just pick an object you want to observe, press a button, and then Meade AutoStar will automatically point your telescope and put it right in your eyepiece. Don't know what you want to see this evening? Go to the "Tonight's Best" tour in your AutoStar. It automatically selects the best objects in the sky for that particular time and location (from its database of over 30.000 celestial objects). All you need is a clear night, a dark sky and a little curiosity. Whether you already know the sky by heart, or are just beginning your journey of discovery, your Meade ETX-90 Premier Edition will take you where you want to go. Astronomy has never been so fun and rewarding.
