If you are seeking a high quality portable telescope loaded with features, then Meade’s ETX-125AT is probably what you’re looking for. At just 29 lbs, making it easily transportable, its 5″ aperture is bright enough for some serious deep space use. The unit is also very simple to setup.

The ETX-125AT features an advanced Maksutov-Cassegrain design, making it a great deep sky performer and for pinpointing star images.

This model has a focal length of 1900mm and comes with Meade’s ultra-high transmission coatings. These coatings decrease light loss by 20%, yielding significant improvements when photographing or observing deep space.
Alignment is simple with the ETX-125AT’s Easy Align technology and AutoStar hand controller. After aligning simply use the controller to find any object in the 30,000 item database.Features
