Meade ETX 125 UHTC Spotting Scopes are perfect for both land and sky use. If you have a view of waterfront or landscapes the Meade ETX Spotting Scopes/ Terrestrial Telescopes are an excellent choice. Positioned in a living-room or on a balcony Meade ETX125 Spotting Scopes with UHTC have also an attractive design to blend with any decor. For high-resolution imaging of terrestrial subjects, the 5"/ 125mm Maksutov-Cassegrain Meade ETX Spotting Scopes are the finest spotting scopes ever developed. Meade ETX-125 Spotting Scopes feature astronomical-quality optics that provide incredible detail with absolutely no color aberration. The light-gathering ability of huge 125 mm objective lenses produce exceptionally crisp images, even in low light conditions.

Explore the subtleties of a bird's feather structure at 50 yards, read license plates more than half a mile in the distance, observe people walking on a street two miles in the distance, or use Meade ETX Spotting Scopes 125mm / 5" Spotter for casual astronomical observations of the Moon, planets, and deep-space. The possibilities are as limitless as your own imagination. Meade ETX Spotting Scopes include the exact same astronomical-quality, diffraction-limited optical tube assemblies as their respective Telescope versions - Meade ETX Telescopes. As a result Meade ETX Spotting Scopes far outperform other terrestrial telescopes not manufactured to within such precise optical tolerances.

Flip-mirror systems on each ETX Meade Spotting Scope permit quick adaptation from visual observing at 90°, to fully-image-erect viewing at 45°, to through-the-telescope 35mm photography with the optional Meade #64 T-Adapter. Armed with it's extremely long focal length of 1900mm, though mounted in relatively short, portable tube assembly, Meade ETX 125 Spotting Scope reveals distant photographic detail far beyond the capabilities of standard focal length lenses and without the physical inconvenience of typical long lenses.

Meade ETX 125 Spotting Scopes 3EP models already include three Meade Super Plossl Eyepieces: 26mm, 15mm and 9.7mm for different terrestrial magnifications. But these Meade Spotting Scopes will also accept any other 1.25" eyepieces, so you can purchase them separately and vary the magnification according to your needs. Tripod is not included, but most of camera and sport optics tripods (such as Bogen Manfrotto Tripod 3180N) will be suitable for Meade ETX 125 Spotting Scopes.
