Observing with a Meade 6" refractor is an experience unlike that with other telescopes, as the refractors' large unobstructed clear apertures enable a level of resolution and high contrast normally reserved for larger instruments of other types.

The Meade 6" LXD75 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.
