Meade 14" LX850 f/8 ACF OTA with Aluminum Dew Shield – Pre-Owned Excellent

The Meade 14" LX850 ACF is a large-aperture optical tube designed for serious visual observing and astrophotography. Its Advanced Coma-Free optical system delivers sharp, high-contrast views with reduced off-axis coma, making it especially well suited for deep-sky observing, planetary work, and high-resolution imaging.

With 14 inches of aperture and an f/8 optical system, this OTA provides excellent light-gathering capability while maintaining a relatively fast focal ratio for a telescope of this size.

This pre-owned package also includes an aluminum dew shield, helping reduce dew formation on the corrector plate while also blocking stray light.
