Meade Digital Series telescopes bring microprocessor technology and the very latest in electromechanical design to the serious beginning or intermediate observer. Completely re-engineered and redesigned, Meade DS-2080AT telescopes provide extremely smooth motions in both altitude and azimuth, and, most importantly, include a fully integrated Autostar control system as standard equipment. Oversize bearings on both telescope axes of all models negate the imprecisions found universally, virtually without exception, on competing models. Less

Not Bad for the Price

by spaceaceomega , Jan 1, 2006

Pros: Auto skew, lightweight and easy to manipulate. Very affordable!

Cons: High power slop. Needs fine tuning out of the box but thats a given.

The Bottom Line: Really a 3.5 in my book. I would recommend to a friend if I felt they had patience to deal with the slop effect learning curve.

This reviewer recommends this product.

Review: Got this scope for Christmas. I was plenty excited about getting one after years of wanting a scope. I am a total amatuer in the field. The last scope I had was a long red Tasco many many years ago. I will review this just as I see it. I've never...

ETX-80

by tygonejet , Sep 25, 2007

Pros: Less money, that's all.

Cons: You will learn why people store these things and never use them.

This reviewer does not recommend this product.

Review: I am a total novice when it comes to telescopes. Here is the problem, everyone out there recommends dobsonian 6" w/out autostar (to save you money). If your a novice, you still may have trouble with autostar finding anything up in the sky. So why...
