10 Meade Lx200 W Uhtc And Gps

This is a very clean scope in perfect cosmetic and working condition. I’m the original owner and have had it about four years now. It has the UHTC coatings on the optics and has only been cleaned once. I had it “Supercharged” by DR. Clay Sherrod at the Arkansas Sky observatory shortly after I purchased it.

The Supercharge service provides absolute perfection in:

1) Optical performance;


2) Mechanical performance in both tracking and Go To;


3) Electrical integrity and performance;


4) Electronic performance and output;


5) Inherent RESALE value of your instrument!


6) Cosmetic perfection of scope and mount


I’ve got all the documentation that came with the Supercharge service and will include it with the telescope.

The telescope will come with all of its original parts including:

Telescope

Variable-height field tripod

8 x 50mm viewfinder

1.25” diagonal prism

Super Plossl 26mm eyepiece

4-speed zero image-shift microfocuser

Autostar II hand controller

12 volt power cord

Original Meade manual


It also has new stainless steel replacement bolts on the Optical tube and a new set of collimation knobs.

This is a terrific telescope and will give the new owner years of satisfaction.
