Telescope Review Of 14” Lx200r

Made by the Meade company who has been producing quality for years, the 14” LX 200R has been getting rave reviews since it came on the market. The Meade company is one of the most respected in the world of astronomy and this product is one of its best ever made according to what users are saying about this great telescope.

Robert from North Carolina says:

“I’ve owned the Meade 80mm, 125ETX and a 10" LX200. The 14" LX200R is awesome! This is a research-grade instrument with an enhanced RA drive (same as the RCX drive) and built like a tank! It was a hit at the recent MASP star party and this is the last large transportable scope I will buy! Love it! Thanks Meade for making such a fine instrument!!”

Such a rave review for the 14” LX200R telescope is not unheard of in the telescope world. This telescope is quite pricey at an average price of about $6,500. That’s a lot of money to most people, but to experienced star gazers, it’s an investment they are willing to make in order to get the most out of their experiences.

Another review of the LX200R 14” telescope done by Lana of Virginia tells us:

“Meade is a name that most of my astronomy buddies rely on. After owning a cheap telescope, I decided to take a chance and spend the extra money to buy the LX200R 14”. Am I glad I did! The images I saw through the eyepiece were strikingly clear and it was easy to use on top of it. Many people in my astronomy club own this telescope, so I wasn’t really all that apprehensive of spending so much money, but hearing them rave about this telescope, I gave it a try and was pleasantly rewarded with a quality instrument that I don’t think I’ll ever outgrow!”

Those two reviews of the LX200R 14” telescope are not uncommon. What we’ve found, after reading many, many reviews show that this product is one that can be trusted and one that is well worth the money. In fact, the price is the only thing that people listed as a negative side. However, they also report that when they can get a professional quality telescope at a price like that, it is well worth the investment as owners say they will probably keep and use this telescope for a very, very long time.
