Who Is Meade Instruments?
Meade Instruments is one of the top American telescope manufacturers. In addition to Meade telescopes, the company creates microscopes, CCD cameras and binoculars. There is also a wide variety of Meade telescope accessories available, including mounts, tripods, eyepieces, filters, connector cables, focal reducers, diagonals, wedges and more.
Where are Meade Telescopes Manufactured?
The headquarters for Meade Instruments is in Irvine, California, and many of its telescopes are manufactured at its factory there, including models from the LX and ETX lines. However, other Meade telescope designs are licensed out to Taiwanese factories for manufacturing. The Meade telescopes that are made overseas must still meet the company's quality assurance standards before going to market.
How Good Are Meade Telescopes?
The telescopes made by Meade Instruments are well known, widely used and highly regarded for good reason. Meade telescopes appeal to amateur astronomers of all skill levels, from beginners to expert hobbyists. Along with brands like Orion, Celestron and Sky-Watcher, Meade is one of the most trusted and popular names in the industry.
What Are the Best Meade Telescopes?
The best Meade telescope for you will depend on your needs and what you plan to accomplish in your stargazing. That said, there are a lot of Meade telescopes for sale, so here are some picks to get you started:
- For high-end, feature-packed options, the LX90 Series offers some of the best all-around telescopes, including the Meade 8" LX90 ACF Computerized Telescope - 0810-90-03.
- The Meade Infinity Series has many excellent choices for beginners, like the Meade Infinity 70 mm Altazimuth Refractor Telescope - 209003, providing everything an amateur stargazer needs right out of the box.
- The Polaris Series from Meade Instruments also has everything new stargazers need to view galaxies, star clusters and more, but with some extra bells and whistles — check out the Meade Polaris 114 mm Newtonian Reflector on Equatorial Mount - 216004.
Again, it all comes down to deciding what you're looking for in a Meade telescope and narrowing in on the features that are important to you.
