Meade LX65 6" Mak

The Meade LX65 6-inch Maksutov is a more capable step up from the ETX range — a 152mm Mak on the LX65 GoTo alt-az mount. At 1800mm focal length and f/11.8 it delivers excellent planetary views and handles the Moon and double stars beautifully. The LX65 GoTo mount is more robust than the ETX platform and includes the AudioStar hand controller with a database of thousands of objects. A solid planetary and visual instrument that competes with the Sky-Watcher SkyMax 150 Pro in the mid-range Mak GoTo segment.
