Meade®DS-2130ATS

130mm (5.1") Altazimuth Reflector

LARGE APERTURE GO TO TELESCOPE

Reflectors have long been a favorite with amateur
astronomers. The large 130mm diameter mirror of the
Meade DS-2130ATS provides 469% brighter images and a
tremendous increase in fine detail, compared to common
60mm telescopes.

The standard equipment #494 AutoStar® Computer Control
System permits automatic object location and tracking of
more than 1400 objects in the AutoStar database at the
touch of a button.

See fainter and more distant objects in far greater detail.
Several thousand star clusters, galaxies and nebulae are
within range of this telescope. This model is highly
recommended for astronomical applications; however, due
to its image orientation it is not recommended for land
viewing.

Includes two premium 4-element Super Plössl eyepieces.

114mm (4.5") Equatorial Reflectors

LARGE APERTURE MANUAL TELESCOPES

Because the earth rotates once on its axis every 24 hours,
celestial objects move rapidly through the telescopic field,
particularly at higher powers. The equatorial mount of both
the Meade 114EQ-AST and 114EQ-A greatly facilitates object
tracking, simply by manually turning one or both of the
control cables.

The large 114mm-diameter mirror of these models gathers
361% more light than 60mm telescopes. Fainter, more
distant objects can be seen in far greater detail.

The beginning amateur who intends to use a manual
telescope on a regular basis will find the equatorial mount
to be a valuable investment.

HIGH-PERFORMANCE MANUAL TELESCOPE

This large aperture 80mm diameter telescope with deluxe
equatorial mount provides contrast-rich, high-resolution
images of Saturn, Jupiter, the Moon and many deep-space
objects, as well as landmarks and nature.

The Meade 80EQ-A permits more advanced study than

JUST BECAUSE A STAR MAY BE MILLIONS OF YEARS OLD

DOESN’T MEAN IT SHOULD TAKE YOU THAT LONG TO FIND IT

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 AutoStar® will
automatically point your telescope. 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 Premier Edition will take you
where you want to go. Astronomy has never been so fun
and rewarding.

Its diffraction-limited optics are so crisp in contrast,
brightness and image resolution that they consistently
out-perform telescopes of larger aperture. All ETX

elescopes feature BK-7 glass and oversized Pyrex®

Adventures in Astronomy

From the comfort of your own backyard, you can explore
hundreds of galaxies, gas clouds (nebulae), and star clusters,
as well the Moon, planets, and comets with a Meade
telescope. The powerful light-gathering capability of a
Meade telescope can transform simple points of light into
objects of incredible detail. You will be enriched with the
experience of seeing first-hand some of nature’s most
awesome spectacles.

What You Can See

With any of the Meade telescopes presented in this
brochure, you can observe the following celestial objects,
and a great many more, sharply and clearly: the magnificent
ring system of Saturn; the distinctive cloud belt structure of
Jupiter and four of its largest moons; hundreds of craters and
mountain ranges on Earth’s Moon and deep-space objects
including the Andromeda Galaxy, the Hercules globular star
cluster, and the diffuse Orion Nebula.

COMPUTERIZED OBJECT-

LOCATION AND TRACKING

What About Power?

To calculate power, divide the focal length of the telescope
(e.g., 700mm for Model NG-70) by the focal length of the
eyepiece (e.g., 25mm).

Lower power eyepieces (e.g., 25mm) offer wide fields of view
for observing deep-space and terrestrial objects. Higher
power eyepieces (e.g., 9mm) offer greater magnification and
are useful for observing surface detail on the Moon and
planets.

The Importance of Computerized Tracking
and Object-Location

Observing an astronomical object involves following a
constantly moving target. Every object in the sky moves in
the same manner as our Sun, rising in the East and setting in
the West. This apparent celestial movement is caused by the
rotation of the Earth.

Computerized Tracking: To the unaided eye an object
like the Moon appears to move slowly across the sky, but
will, in fact, move surprisingly quickly through the field
of view of a telescope. The AutoStar® Computer Control
System directs the telescope to automatically follow fast­moving celestial objects.

Automatic object-location: A novice astronomer often
spends a disproportionate amount of time learning the
sky and searching for subjects to view. AutoStar

TYPES

Types of Telescopes

All telescopes fall into one of three optical classes.

Refracting Telescopes, like
the Meade Model NGC-70,
use a large objective lens
as their primary light­collecting element.
Meade® refractors include
achromatic (2-element)
objective lenses in order to
reduce false color that
results when light passes
through a lens.
Reflecting Telescopes use
a concave primary mirror
to collect light and form an
image. In the Newtonian
type of reflector telescope,
the Meade Model DS­2130ATS, light is reflected
by a small, flat secondary

mirror to the side of
the main tube for
observation of the image. This is a large telescope
