10'' f/10 LX90ACF with tripod Meade Advanced Coma Free Optics


A breakthrough in the performance of serial telescopes.

Why Meade ACF Optics?
• Improved Sharpness in the field of view
• Higher Contrast in the field of view
• Higher limiting magnitude in the field of view

What is Advanced Coma Free?
The Meade ACF-optical system has a great advantage when compared to conventional optics: it doesn´t have coma. Coma is a optical aberration that affects stars outside the middle of the image. The starlight is spread to form a cometlike tail. Meade Advanced Coma Free optics don´t have this aberration. You can see the difference with each look through the telescope: small round stars up to the edge of the field of view.

The higher concentration of starlight also rises the contrast of the image and fainter stars get visible.

If it is visual observing, or astrophotography: the Advanced Coma Free optics from Meade Instruments deliver the superior images when compared with conventional serial telescopes. Meade ACF telescopes provide a image quality that was in the past only available by Ritchey-Chretien telescopes and other exotic systems. Those telescope have prices that are much higher than the Meade ACF optics.
