Meade · Schmidt-Cassegrain · 10 inches and up · 1992 on (Classic, then GPS, then ACF from 2008)
The 10-inch LX200 was in Meade's first LX200 lineup in 1992 next to the 8-inch, and it went through the same three generations: the keypad Classic, the AutoStar II LX200GPS with its mirror lock and microfocuser, and the Advanced Coma-Free LX200-ACF from 2008. The GPS version is a 254 mm f/10 with a 2,500 mm focal length. You get noticeably more light than the 8-inch, and a lot more weight in the fork and tripod, so setting it up is a real job. That's why many of these live on a pier or wedge in a backyard observatory, and why so many listings are local pickup. Meade stopped operating in 2024, so check that everything works before you buy.
The full kit
Check the listing photos against this list, and ask the seller about anything you can’t see. Plenty of listings are the tube alone or the mount alone, and a missing hand controller, power supply or counterweight should come off the price.
The drive electronics and motors are the costly parts to fail, so the GoTo needs testing. The heavy fork and tube suffer in poor packing. The corrector can haze in damp storage, and Meade no longer exists to supply parts.
New to used telescopes? How to check a used telescope covers optics, mounts, power and shipping, and what a complete kit looks like helps with tube-only and mount-only listings.
Buying guide
We'd start with the $950 LX200 EMC titled with extras and a case, the lowest ask on a 10-inch by a wide margin, though its photo shows no tripod and it quotes no shipping. There are at least 12 for sale, and nine quote no shipping, so the $2,750–3,275 band comes from just the three that do, with $350–700 shipping on top, and isn't a market read. Most ask $950–2,000 before shipping. These are heavy fork scopes, so plan on pickup or a shipping quote, and ask for a video of it aligning and slewing on both axes with its own hand controller plus a flashlight photo through the corrector at an angle. Meade stopped operating in 2024, so a dead drive board or motor means third-party parts, and you should skip the zero-feedback UK seller's ACF.
