Meade Instruments Corporation - ETX Spotting Scopes


Astronomical-quality spotting scopes

The ETX is one of the finest spotting scopes ever developed. Astronomical-quality optics provide incredible detail with absolutely no color abberation, unlike even the most expensive European refracting models. The light-gathering ability of the big 90mm and huge 125mm objective lenses produce exceptionally crisp images, even in low light conditions. ETX spotters are camera adaptable with optional T-mount to reveal distant photographic detail far beyond the capabilities of standard focal length lenses, and without the physical inconvenience of typical long lenses. Includes three Super Plossl eyepieces. Ultra-High Tranmission Coatings (UHTC®) optional at time of purchase.
