Mike here: Although the new Meade ETX-LS telescope is not yet available from Meade, this feedback page allows current and prospector ETX owners to chime in on their thoughts about the new model. If you don't already know about the ETX-LS, check out these web sites:

The Meade ad in the April 2009 issue of Astronomy magazine promotes the
ETX-LS for $ 1,299. One of the features listed for the ETX-LS is ACF
optics.  Why do you say that the ACF optics comes in a different version
that costs an additional $200?  The ad does not say that.

Mike here: That ad was probably prepared a few months ago. The web page I cited (http://www.meade.com/etx-ls/index.html) has the current info and that is what I was mentioning. By the way, the Meade ad on page 7 of the June 2009 issue of Sky & Telescope also shows the two ETX-LS models (ACF, SC).

Mike here: There are now two models of the new ETX-LS: one is the ACF (Advanced Coma-Free) for $1499, and the other is a SC (Schmidt-Cassegrain) for $1299. Both are 6" f/10 models. Specs are available at http://www.meade.com/etx-ls/index.html.
