Style: Infinity - 90mm
The media could not be loaded. Meade Infinity 102mm Refractor Telescope review: UPDATE June 12, 2016: I've since upgraded and now own this Meade Infinity 102mm Refractor telescope and sold my Meade 90mm Refractor Telescope. Why Amazon have the reviews all mixed up for the different Meade Infinity series is not nice, especially when I had purchased two different telescope and have to use the same review to either rewrite or add to it is beside me and I think that is not the way it should be. Anyway I got this Meade 102mm telescope Tuesday 07, June 2016 and it came well packaged, all items intact and am fully satisfied with what I received. It took me less than 10mins to setup and have it ready for use for first light. I also got the Red Dot viewfinder set into the Telescope and did my adjustments, focusing the telescope on an object a few miles away. It took me about 5mins or less to get the Red Dot viewfinder perfectly aligned. I then looked at Saturn to see if the Red Dot viewfinder was perfectly aligned and all was OK. I then took out my Meade 90mm Telescope to compare the difference in viewing, using on both of them the same eyepieces. I selected the 26mm eyepieces, seeing I now have 2 eyepieces of the same from both telescopes. I placed both telescopes side by side and set it upon Saturn. I elected Saturn seeing its the smallest and easily seen planet at the moment, that way I can actually see how well both will display Saturn. Looking at Saturn from both telescopes have shown me quite a difference. Lets consider the 90mm; when you look at Saturn you definitely see it but much smaller and can make out the ring around Saturn but not the Cassini band and i.e. bare in mind using the 26mm eyepiece. Looking through the 102mm using the same 26mm eyepiece at Saturn brings the planet a little closer to your eyes and have a clearer and brighter view also you have a very marginal wider field of view but not much to make a fair comparison with the 90mm. I did not see the Cassini band using the 26mm eyepiece on the 102mm Telescope. The next day I took them out and decided to look at a communication tower located several miles away in the horizon and when I looked through using the same 26mm eyepieces you definitely have a much closer and detailed view of the top of the tower with the 102mm telescope. Whereas the 90mm you have a clear view but its seeing the tower a little further away and don't see too much details but just barely. In summing up I'd say that the Meade 102mm is much brighter and better viewing enjoyment than the Meade 90mm. All in all I still love both Telescopes but a friend of mine came by and saw the 90mm and asked me to buy it and I sold it. So now I have only the Meade 102mm which I'm enjoying very much. Meade Infinity 90mm Refractor Telescope review: This is the first Telescope I've ever owned, and also the very first time I ever looked into a Telescope. Setting up everything was just around ten minutes or less. I got a small packet of tools, 1 Phillips screwdriver, 1 triangular shaped flat head screwdriver and 2 different size spanner. I did not need to use any of the tools to setup the entire apparatus. I love the red dot viewfinder and found it very easy to align with the telescope. I aligned it using a distant object in the horizon with the Telescope, centering the eyepiece with the Telescope then taking the red dot viewfinder to align with the red dot. All that I did late in the evening time. I then used it at night and looked at a distant star with the red dot viewfinder then in turn looked at the star through the Telescope and it was perfectly aligned. Amen The tripod came already assembled in its own box while the Telescope came wrapped in its own box, all items was placed in a bigger box so it looks as one item. As advertised on Amazon I got everything as described and was not disappointed. As described with the Telescope all is seen completely upright as if you're looking through a binoculars with one eye. For terrestrial use this is ideally suited for me. So up is up, down is down, left is left and right is right. I will later on look at the planets and star clusters etc to see what more I can see and as much as I can see. I had a quick look at the Moon and its quite breathtaking seeing the craters of the Moon with so much details. UPDATE MARCH 19, 2016: I got up this morning approx 1:30 AM and could not go back to sleep and decided to walk out my back step and what did I saw was both Saturn and Mars with the Moon approx 30 degrees (i.e. from the horizon to the Moon) setting at the west. I decided to take my Telescope and view those planets. I was really amazed, it's the first time I've ever seen Saturn & its rings using all the different eyepieces. I also had a good long look of Mars and was all excited about my short night events. A few nights ago I also viewed Jupiter and was amazed with so much details to see the bands on Jupiter and seeing 4 of Jupiter's Moon. Coming back to the red dot viewfinder; I did some very fine tweaks to it and now its spot on. Once you find the object with the red dot and you look into the Telescope its right on the target. ... show more

    • Excellent value for a wide-field telescope.
Style: Infinity - 102mm
I have 40 years’ experience with telescopes and hope I can help. The 102mm is a great wide field scope and I can recommend this with no hesitation. The scope is portable enough and light weight if using the supplied accessories. The tube and focuser are metal. The tripod included with the 102 was surprisingly good and I have known people to but the scope for the tripod and use other small scopes on the tripod. Because I use much heavier 2 inch accessories I had to but a different portamount II tripod to handle the weight of the two inch equipment. I did put my heavy 30mm eyepiece in the stock tripod and it worked but I know I was using this beyond its capacity and it would not last long using the heavy accessories. In that case a stronger tripod (at the cost of some portability) would be best. The eyepieces included with the 102mm where another surprise and were very good but not as good as premium (and expressive) eyepieces. There are better eyepieces with better eye relief if you plan to stay with the hobby. While not required I would plan on replacing the high power eyepieces to gain a wider field and better eye relief. Many scopes come with low quality eyepieces to cut costs but the included eyepieces were perfectly good. The Barlow felt cheap because it was so light weight but it performed very well. The red dot finder worked well but I prefer a right angle optical version. The 102mm optics are excellent and produce sharp, bright images. If you are looking at this scope you probably know a larger aperture will produce a brighter image because it is able to capture more light. I was looking at the 80mm but decided on the 102mm for the larger aperture and the much better tripod and mount. The supplied diagonal is plastic but good and very study. I even put my premium 2 inch eyepieces in the diagonal with little to no worry. You need to know that this scope has an adapter which when removed fits a 2 inch diagonal. Even so the tripod and mount are not suitable for long-term use with heavy premium 2 inch accessories. There are some good lighter 2 inch accessories that will work but because this is a wide field scope, 2 inch accessories do not give you much improvement. I use 2 inch equipment on several of my other scopes so it made since for me to upgrade the tripod and mount. On a clear, dark night the scope will show very good views of star fields, galaxies, star clusters, the moon and several of the viewable planets. The scope provides the best overall image of the Pleiades compared to any of my other scopes and finding objects is much easier due to the wide field. Jupiter’s showed good surface details as well as Saturn’s ring division. In a smaller scope don’t expect to see much detail and Mars, Venus and other planets will only appear as small colorful dots even with an 80mm scope. Bottom Line: I would highly recommend this scope even for advanced users like me. This scope is portable and provides great wide field views. The supplied eyepieces are very good but I would add a nice 1.25 ES 24mm 68 degree eyepiece if you have the money. The tripod with its slow motion control’s is a must have benefit and is a valid reason to skip the 80mm version. If you think you will be serious about astronomy skip any telescope under 80mm and this is a good choice. ... show more
