Meade ETX90PE Telescope
The ETX is based around one of the finest optical designs ever produced, the Maksutov Cassegrain enables ultra high resolution and contrast from a compact design. These optics will routinely outperform those of larger apertures almost equalling the performance of fine Apochromat refractors costing many times that of the ETX. Whether viewing fine Planetary detail such as Jupiters red spot or polar ice caps on Mars or viewing the tenuous detail in the great Orion nebula you can be sure the ETX will deliver the best views possible.
