Meade LX200

The Meade LX200 is a family of commercial telescopes produced by Meade Instruments launched in 1992 with 8" (20.32 cm) and a 10" (25.4 cm) Schmidt–Cassegrain models on computerized altazimuth mounts.

[3] The first of these was the LX200GPS, which featured global positioning system electronics.

[2] A related series introduced in 2005 was the even higher end RCX400 (later renamed LX400-ACF), with new optics and a motorized focus/collimation system, and with upgraded fork mount electronics.

These were all f/8 optical systems, costing up to $50,000 for the 20" on the German equatorial mount.

[6] In September 2012, an amateur astronomer used an LX200GPS to record an impact on the planet Jupiter.
