Description: | 6" LXD55 – The Meade 6" LXD55 refractor, with 44% more light-collecting power than the 5" model, permits a much wider imaging capability. Deep-space objects, from bright galaxies like Andromeda (M31) to faint nebulae like NGC 6559 in Sagittarius and thousands of other galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters in between, take on added brightness and resolution of form and structure. Significantly increased detail is visible on the Moon and planets: resolve craterlets in the floor of Plato, observe discontinuities in the ice cap on Mars; study changing patterns in Jupiter’s cloud belts.
