Jeremy Hier

While an older model, the Meade etx-60 at digital telescope with autostar is a great educational starter telescope and can be found on e-commerce and auction sites online, new and used.

The Meade ext-60 at digital telescope with autostar retails at under $200 if new, although when initially introduced, the price was $299. We even found one slightly used online for $24.99, though of course this is an auction site and the price, after bidding, for this Meade ext-60 at digital telescope with autostar may end up being considerably more at the close of bidding.

The Meade ext-60 at digital telescope includes an eyepiece that is 9mm, an instruction manual and AutoStar, which controls the telescope's computer.

The Meade ext-60 features an achromatic assembly for the refracting optical tube, many layers of optical coating, an internal system of flip mirrors so that you can observe straight on or from a 90 degree observation point.

Other features of the Meade ext-60 at digital telescope are electric controls for slow motion that are fork mounted, setting circles, and dual axis locking mechanisms. The two axis motor drive has tracking with a sidereal rating.

The eyepiece, with multiple coats, is powerful - magnification of 39x. The optics are achromatic refractor design, with a diameter of 60 mm and a focal length of 350mm. Its focus is approximately 15 feet.

The Meade ext-60 at digital telescope requires six AA batteries, which are not included. Shipping is not included in the price either.
