Reach the starts! (now it's easier than ever!)
Want to be able to find a deep space galaxy like a pro? Simply push a button. Likewise for planets, stars, nebulae and thousands of celestial objects.
AutoStar® is the new technology developed by Meade that allows you to pick an object you want to observe and press a button. Autostar will automatically point your telescope and put your object right in your eyepiece.
Even if you don't really know what you want to see this evening, AutoStar® can automatically select the best objects that can be seen in the sky for that time and location. Autostar's exclusive database holds over 30,000 celestial objects.
Astronomy is easy now. All you need is a clear dark night and a little curiosity. Whether you are a beginner or already know the sky by heart, Meade has a telescope that is right for you. Astronomy has never been so fun and rewarding.
One for everyone. The Meade family

![This is my ATM project - I've converted my regular Meade DS-2114s reflector into a lensless Schmidt camera that uses a simple 'hole' at the radius of the primary mirror [in lieu of the expensive corrector plate!] to produce high quality images of the nightsky with some sample CCD images of galaxies and star clusters etc.](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/wnYv_SmdLQA/default.jpg "Meade telescope into hi-res Schmidt astro-camera")
