My Telescope

I am going to buy Meade ETX-105AT in December. It is a Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope. This telescope is a combine of 4.13″ front mirror(OTA) with UHTC coating, f/14 (1400mm), altazimuth mount, #497 Autostar controller, #884 Deluxe field tripod, right angle viewfinder and weights about 14Kg includes the tripod.

Its limit of visual stellar magnitude is 12.1 while its maximum pratical visual power is 420X. It will be come with a 26mm Super Plossl eyepiece, it will not be enough definitely, I am going to buy several eyepieces together in order to serve me well.

Below is the full list of my telescope package:

ETX105AT- RM4900
7 Super Plossl Eyepieces set- RM1980
Meade Astro Binocular 9X63- RM445
Dew Shield- RM95
Portable Recharge Battery (to replace the 8 batteries being used by the auto star system)- RM280
Series 4000 Moon Filter ND96- RM120
Photography system: (I think I would get this in a few years later, maybe I have to wait until I graduate and work)
Lunar Planet Imager- RM980
OR
Deep Sky Imager/ Pro- RM1980/ RM3xxx
OR
DSLR

And a notebook as well to be able to process and control the imager.

I must say that the local dealer of Meade, K.K. Looi from Infinity Infocus (Boss) is the best guy I have seen ever. He explains everything in details but not just promoting the products. He will recommend a needed product to you but not the useless things.

You can contact him through this email address: infocus@pc.jaring.my
