This Premier Edition of the world’s most popular telescope has exciting added features.

The push-button electronic control with one of the finest optical systems ever made available in an ultra-portable telescope made the Meade® ETX-90EC Astro Telescope one of the largest-selling modern telescope in the world.

Now the new Premier Edition includes new groundbreaking technology to make telescope setup easy.

Automatic Alignment + SmartFinder™ Meade's new ETX-Premier Edition automatically levels your telescope, points it to North and sets the time. You just enter your location.

After your ETX completes its patented Level North automatic alignment procedure it will point to the first alignment star.

Use the new wide-field SmartFinder to center the red dot over the alignment stars for ultra-precise pointing accuracy. It’s that easy.

Telescope now supplied with UHT Coatings, Autostar and Tripod as standard.

Want to see a hard-to-find deep space galaxy? Simply push a button. The same goes for planets, stars, nebulae and more. Just pick an object you want to observe, press a button, and then AutoStar® will automatically point your telescope and put it right in your eyepiece.

Don't know what you want to see this evening? Go to the “Tonight's Best™” tour in your AutoStar. It automatically selects the best objects in the sky for that particular time and location (from its database of over 30,000 celestial objects).

Astronomy has never been so fun and rewarding.

One Year Manufacturer's Warranty Meade ETX90PE Telescope & Free Eyepiece Kit Ref: XMAS01 Practical Astronomer magazine say "This really is one of those 'everyone should own one' type of product" Until now, the stargazer's two biggest challenges to enjoying the night sky have been aligning their telescope and finding objects. Meade’s new ETX Premier Edition eliminates these two challenges and makes astronomy as easy as pushing a button – right out of the box. Want to see a hard-to-find deep space galaxy? Simply push a button. The same goes for planets, stars, nebulae and more. Just pick an object you want to observe, press a button, and then AutoStar® will automatically point your telescope and put it right in your eyepiece. The ETX is based around one of the finest optical designs ever produced, the Maksutov Cassegrain enables ultra high resolution and contrast from a compact design. These optics will routinely outperform those of larger apertures almost equalling the performance of fine Apochromat refractors costing many times that of the ETX. Whether viewing fine Planetary detail such as Jupiters red spot or polar ice caps on Mars or viewing the tenuous detail in the great Orion nebula you can be sure the ETX will deliver the best views possible. Don't know what you want to see this evening? Go to the “Tonight's Best™” tour in your AutoStar. It automatically selects the best objects in the sky for that particular time and location (from its database of over 30,000 celestial objects). All you need is a clear night, a dark sky and a little curiosity. Whether you already know the sky by heart, or are just beginning your journey of discovery, your Meade ETX-Premier Edition will take you where you want to go. Astronomy has never been so fun and rewarding. Automatic Alignment + SmartFinder™ Meade's new ETX-Premier Edition automatically levels your telescope, points it to North and sets the time. You just enter your location or zip code. After your ETX completes its patented Level North automatic alignment procedure it will point to the first alignment star. Use the new wide-field SmartFinder to center the red dot over the alignment stars for ultra-precise pointing accuracy. It’s that easy.
