Meades Instruments is set to introduce a telescope that will bring the most advanced features of star gazing to the amateur, all in a palatable and easy to use format. Setting up and calibrating the ETX-LS telescope is as simple as flipping a switch, literally. Using built-in Integrated Sensor Modules (ISM), which includes GPS and Level North Technology (LNT) sensors and the ECLIPS CCD Camera, the ETX-LS aligns itself for optimal viewing and will calculate the time, date and location, evaluate two stars, and then begin building a ‘real time’ map of the night’s sky. A video output allows for immediate viewing and a built-in camera captures high resolution images recorded to SD card. Meades has even tossed in a guided tour complete with voice narration.
No word on price or availability, but they’ll be showing off the ETX-LS telescope at this year’s CES.
