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.

80EQ-A, NG-70, NGC-70, DS-2080AT and ETX®
Maksutov-Cassegrain models ETX-90™, 105 and 125 can
also be used for high-resolution terrestrial observation
—from reading a license plate a half-mile away to
studying the delicate detail of a bird’s feather. The
additional light-gathering capability of the larger
aper
ture Meade 114EQ-AST, 114EQ-A, DS-2130ATS,
ETX-90, ETX-105 and ETX-125 are especially
advantageous for deep-space phenomena. Several
thousand star clusters, galaxies and nebulae are within
