Resumen del manual
WHEN OBSERVING DURING THE DAYTIME, DO NOT POINT THE TELESCOPE EVEN CLOSE TO THE SUN. WHEN USING YOUR TELESCOPE, PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT IT IS A PRECISION INSTRUMENT. WHILE NOT OVERLY FRAGILE, THE TELESCOPE CAN BE DAMAGED BY IMPROPER USE OR CARELESSNESS, SUCH. AS FORCING THE MANUAL LOCKS OR DROPPING THE ELECTRONIC COMMAND CENTER. SUCH ABUSE IS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. FOR PROPER UTILIZATION OF YOUR MEADE LX6 SCHMIDT-CASSEGRAIN, A THOROUGH READING OF THIS SUPPLEMENTARY MANUAL IS ESSENTIAL. PLEASE READ ALL CONTENTS OF THIS MANUAL BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE THE TELESCOPE. -3- Contents A. Introduction ........................................................5 1.

These telescopes are the latest in a long line of Meade Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope models, and as such they represent the absolute pinnacle in state-of-the-art telescope design for the serious amateur. Important advances in all three major areas of telescope design - optics, mechanics, and electronics - have been incorporated into these telescopes. 1. Optics Perhaps the most significant advancement in commercial telescopes since the introduction of the Schmidt-Cassegrain itself, the Meade f/6.3 optical system results in numerous advantages over the traditional f/10 telescope system. Fields of view are 59% wider, images are 2 1/2 times brighter, and photographic times are 60% faster than those obtained with f/10 telescopes. Because of their computer-optimized ultra high contrast baffling, all of this is possible without any compromise of resolution or performance on high power lunar and planetary work. 2. Electronics The heart of every LX6 system is a dedicated microprocessor that continuously controls, with quartz precision, all important electronic operations of the telescope, from the drive-rate frequency input to the main RA pulse motor, to the Electronic Command Center’s multi-functioned digital readouts. The advanced-design Power Panel allows virtually every modern electronic accessory you might wish to add to your LX6 to be plugged into the telescope - from a simple Dec motor to the Meade "CAT“ Computer Aided Telescope system. 3. This Manual This supplementary manual explains in detail the operation and application of those features unique to Meade 8" and. 10r...
