Description
Fast wide-field imaging defines the Meade N 150/610 Astrograph LX85 GoTo, a 150 mm parabolic Newtonian reflector with a 610 mm focal length and listed f/4.1 optical ratio. Its LX85 German equatorial mount provides computerized tracking through the AudioStar controller, while the 2-inch linear-bearing Crayford focuser with 10:1 reduction, 8×50 finder, extension tube, Vixen-style mounting, steel tripod, counterweight, and power system support the supplied astrograph configuration.
The fast BK7 primary mirror system is intended for deep-sky imaging and broad visual fields, while the short focal length requires careful focus, collimation, camera spacing, and mount alignment. The supplied LX85 mount provides GoTo control and tracking, while the optical tube, focuser, extension tube, finder, and cable system should be protected during transport and stored in a clean, dry environment.
