Once aligned with the sky, the AudioStar is ready to take you to any object in the over 30,000 object database. This computerized celestial object locating system plugs into the telescope's handbox port allowing a quick telescope alignment. The Meade AudioStar features audio files and an internal speaker. With the included AudioStar hand controller you have easy access to over 30,000 objects that you can view with a simple press of a button! AudioStar Astronomer Inside technology features a built-in speaker that plays over four hours of educational content about the celestial objects you view! The LX85 mount also includes an integrated autoguider port to readily connect to your autoguider camera, making your astro-imaging experience easy and straightforward. Seamlessly image the best parts of the night sky without having to worry about performing a meridian flip. With its built-in integer gearing motor drive, you'll be able to track through long exposures using Meade's Smart Drive feature for recording permanent periodic error correction (PPEC). This stable mount can impressively handle slight load imbalances with ease. The LX85 mount features fully automated GoTo slewing to (and tracking of) over 30,000 objects in the night sky. The focuser features a 10:1 reduction fine focus knob, brass compression rings (so you don't mar the barrel of your eyepieces or camera adapters) and a 2" to 1.25" step down adapter (also with a brass compression ring).
