Schmidt-Newtonian telescopes (6 to 10 inches).filed bankruptcy in the United States District Court for the Central District of California as case number 19-14714. On December 4, 2019, Meade Instruments Corp. On November 26, 2019, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California a federal jury found that Ningbo and Meade suppressed competition and fixed prices for consumer telescopes in the United States in violation of federal antitrust laws (case# 16-06370).
In February 2015, Victor Aniceto succeeded Lupica as president. In October 2013, Meade Instruments merged with Ningbo Sunny Electronic, a Chinese manufacturer, and Joseph Lupica became CEO of Meade. The Oak Canyon plant was in use for about a decade until 2009, after which production was moved to an expanded plant in Tijuana, Mexico. Meade production was consequently moved to a new build plant in 6001 Oak Canyon, located as well in Irvine. Past production sites include 16542 Millikan Avenue in Irvine, which was used in the 1990s. In August 2008, Meade modified their line of Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes with changes to the optical surfaces in design they call "Advanced Coma-Free optics" (ACF Optics). Meade has a long history of litigation with other companies over infringement of their patents, particularly with its once bitter rival Celestron. In 1980, the company ventured into the Schmidt-Cassegrain market that up to that time had been dominated by Celestron Corporation.
Meade started manufacturing its own line of products in 1976, introducing 6" and 8" reflecting telescopes models in 1977. Origins and history įounded in 1972 by John Diebel, Meade started as a mail order seller of small refracting telescopes and telescope accessories manufactured by the Japan-based Towa Optical Manufacturing Company. īesides selling under its "Meade" brand name, the company sells solar telescopes under the brand "Coronado". It is the world's largest manufacturer of telescopes. The Meade Instruments (also shortened to Meade) is an American multinational company headquartered in Watsonville, California, that manufactures, imports, and distributes telescopes, binoculars, spotting scopes, microscopes, CCD cameras, and telescope accessories for the consumer market. The bottom of the nosepiece is threaded for 2" filters.Optical and electromechanical instruments
The eyepiece holder has a non-marring brass compression ring and two thumbscrews. The optics are contained in a 2" nosepiece, which is threaded into the upper housing that features an eyepiece holder for 2" eyepieces. The 2" Photo-Visual Coma Corrector works for astrophotography as well as for visual observing with an eyepiece. This coma corrector greatly reduces this effect as well as the effects of field curvature, rendering sharp stars across the entire field of view or image frame. Coma appears as flared, comet-shaped stars and gets progressively worse farther out from the center of the field. The 2" Photo-Visual Coma Corrector for Newtonians minimizes the coma inherent in fast Newtonian reflectors with focal ratios from f/3.5 to f/6.
