Fortunately, Meade engineers developed an Advanced Coma Free design by combining a hyperbolic secondary mirror with a corrector-lens-and-spherical-primary-mirror combination that performs as one hyperbolic element. Because the mirrors in these telescopes have always been very expensive to make, few amateur astronomers could enjoy them. RC telescopes (from a variety of manufacturers) are found in most of the world's top observatories and NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. This puts the possibility of a Coma free astronomy experience within the reach of amateur astronomers once more and enables you to enjoy flat and wide fields of view without paying a fortune.Ī traditional RC design is a type of reflector that delivers a coma-free, flat field of view via hyperbolic primary and secondary mirrors. It is a top-notch Schmidt Cassegrain Telescope that performs at the same level as a Ritchey Chretien at a fraction of the cost.

The ACF-LC200 from Meade is an excellent choice for the astronomer looking for a new telescope.
