Inspecting the Optics

A Note About the Flashlight Test: If a flashlight or other high-intensity light source is

pointed down the main telescope tube, the view (depending upon the observer’s line

of sight and the angle of the light) may reveal what appears to be scratches, dark or

bright spots, or just generally uneven coatings, giving the appearance of poor quality

optics. These items are only seen when a high intensity light is transmitted through

lenses or reflected off the mirrors, and can be seen on any high quality optical system,

including giant research telescopes.

The optical quality of a telescope cannot be judged by the “flashlight test;" the true test

of optical quality can only be conducted through careful star testing.

Meade Customer Service

If you have a question concerning your LXD75-Series telescope, contact the Meade

Instruments Customer Service Department at:

Telephone: (949) 451-1450

Customer Service hours are 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Pacific Time, Monday through

Friday. In the unlikely event that your

LXD75-Series telescope requires factory servic-

ing or repairs, write or call the Meade Customer Service Department first, before

returning the telescope to the factory, giving full particulars as to the nature of the

problem, as well as your name, address, and daytime telephone number. The great

majority of servicing issues can be resolved by telephone, avoiding return of the tele-

scope to the factory. If factory service is required, you will be assigned a Return Goods
