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
toits image orientation it is not recommended for land
viewing.
Includes two premium 4-element Super Plössl eyepieces.

Meade 114EQ-AST
and Meade 114EQ-A
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% morelightthan 60mm telescopes. Fainter, more
distantobjects 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.
