If turn-key stargazing sounds like a good idea on a warm summer night, a Meade LightSwitch 6” or 8” telescopesystem makes an excellent investment. These technological wonders have almost sci-fi-like capabilities, with on-board computers and cameras that align the scope to the sky in just a few minutes, completely automatically, at the flip of a switch.

Once aligned, these scopes will show you a lifetime of wonders in the night sky including the Moon, planets, and nearly 100,000 deep-sky sights. All with Advanced Coma Free (ACT) optics and UHTC coatings for bright, high-contrast images.

These are fantastic scopes for easy summer observing when you don’t have time for fiddling with finders or alignment stars or GPS controls. And they are all full telescope systems that include finder, tripod, mount, and AutoStar computer, all ready to go out of the box.

Best of all, you can get a LightSwitch telescope for yourself and save up to $300 through August 30, 2017.

You can also save up to 40% on accessories including battery packs, LCD monitors, Wi-Fi adapters, and eyepieces.
