Telescope Brand
Meade Instruments
Meade Instruments was one of the dominant forces in consumer astronomy for decades, known for the iconic ETX and LX series. Following financial difficulties in the late 2010s, the brand was acquired and restructured. The LX and ETX lines remain in production, though their market presence in the UK has declined compared to their peak.
