Research-class aperture for the field or observatory combined with legendary, state-of-the-art LX200GPS features, including 145,000-object database, Zero Image-Shift Microfocuser, GPS Alignment, and High-Precision Pointing.

Designed for demanding applications, the Meade 14" LX200GPS is superior astronomical instrumentation for field or observatory use. The enormous light-collecting aperture of the Meade 14" LX200GPS gathers 36% more light than Meade 12" models and 96% more light than 10" models. The superior resolving power and light grasp produces images that will amaze the visual astronomer and take the astrophotographer to a whole new level.

Meade 14" LX200GPS models include all of the features of the 12" model: accurate GPS alignment; onboard 145,000-object database accessible in seconds through the Autostar II hand controller; 4-speed Zero Image-Shift Microfocuser; High-Precision Pointing to within one arc-minute; fast pushbutton slewing on both telescope axes, simultaneously, and at any of almost 200 drive speeds; Smart Drive in RA and Dec.; and, in addition, the rock-solid Meade Giant Field Tripod to allow rapid setup of this research-class telescope at any location one desires.

The 14" LX200GPS's primary mirror lock, in conjunction with the Zero Image-Shift Microfocuser, cancels any residual image-shift during focusing. In addition the mirror lock results in even more precise long-distance GO TO slews of the telescope, since the large mass of the telescope's primary mirror is locked in position.
