The Meade LX90 is a Schmidt-Cassegrain design of telescope made by Meade Instruments for the mid-priced (2000 USD circa 2008) commercial telescope market.[1][2] It uses a similar optical system to the bigger and more expensive Meade LX200[2]—although it lacks some useful functions like primary mirror locking. The LX90 telescopes were equipped with Autostar soon after its 1999 introduction by Meade instruments.[2] Optical apertures included in the product line included 8 (20 cm), 10 (25 cm) and 12 (30 cm) inches on a double tine fork mount and Autostar system.[1]
