Description

Ladies and gentlemen, meet the Meade Starfinder Dobsonian reflector telescope, a classic light-bucket beloved by amateur astronomers for its no-nonsense, grab-and-go design and impressive aperture. The large white fiberglass tube sits atop a sturdy Dobsonian rocker box base with a smooth lazy-susan style azimuth bearing, allowing effortless sweeping across the heavens. Mounted on the tube you will find a rack-and-pinion focuser, a small optical finder scope with eyepiece, and an additional right-angle finder scope bracket, giving you everything you need to track down galaxies, nebulae, and planets with authority. The telescope presents in excellent cosmetic condition with clean optics, original Meade labeling on both the tube and rocker box, and the original Meade Telescope Systems box is included, making this a collector-grade example of a legendary American-made instrument.
