Meade 14" LX200GPS Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope – Pre-Owned, Fully Tested – $5,999

The Meade 14" LX200GPS is a legendary large aperture Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope built for serious deep sky observing and high-resolution planetary work. With a massive 14-inch mirror, this system delivers exceptional light gathering power, revealing faint galaxies, nebulae detail, and crisp planetary features that smaller telescopes simply can’t match.

This unit is pre-owned, fully tested, and performing as it should mechanically and optically. The mount, motors, and electronics have been verified, and the telescope has been cleaned and collimated on a real star, ensuring sharp performance right out of the box.

The LX200GPS platform is known for its reliable GoTo system and tracking accuracy, making it easy to locate and follow objects across the sky using the Autostar II hand controller. Slewing, tracking, and general operation are all functioning properly.

The optics are producing clean, high-contrast views, and the system feels solid and responsive. Exactly what you expect from a telescope in this class.

Please note: The built-in GPS is not currently acquiring a fix, even after updating to firmware 4.2g via StarPatch (common on older LX200GPS units due to GPS rollover). This does not affect normal operation, location and time can be entered manually, and the telescope aligns and tracks correctly once initialized.
