While an older model, the Meade etx-60 at digital telescope with autostar is a great educational starter telescope and can be found on e-commerce and auction sites online, new and used.

The Meade ext-60 at digital telescope with autostar retails at under $200 if new, although when initially introduced, the price was $299. We even found one slightly used online for $24.99, though of course this is an auction site and the price, after bidding, for this Meade ext-60 at digital telescope with autostar may end up being considerably more at the close of bidding.

The Meade ext-60 at digital telescope includes an eyepiece that is 9mm, an instruction manual and AutoStar, which controls the telescope's computer.
