The DS2130 AT-TC is a fully GoTo telescope.  After a short alignment procedure, your telescope will be ready to take you on a tour of the universe.  You will see more objects in one night than Galileo saw in a lifetime.  See planets like Saturn and Jupiter, star clusters, nebulae, galaxies and more.

A first look at the rings of Saturn or the craters of the Moon can inspire a lifetime of exploration.  Go to any star party anywhere in the world and you'll see more Meade telescopes than any other.
