Meade LX600 16" F/8 ACF Optical Tube Assembly

 

Meade's LX850 16-inch Advanced Coma-Free (ACF) optical tube features a fast f/8 design making it an optimal choice for astrophotographers needing a large aperture system. Specialized baffling provides high-contrast images that are crisp from edge to edge. 

Meade's proprietary ACF optical design goes a step beyond traditional Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes by shortening the focal length and improving image clarity, color and contrast. Advanced Coma-Free optics display stars crisp and clear throughout the image circle.
