Can this reducer be used on a Meade LX200 ACF SCT? Thanks

Maybe. Without knowing the threading on your telescope, it may be an issue. With standard sct and maksutov telescopes, this works fine. But it is not just a focal reducer, it's a field flattener as well. So you may end up with some strange image effects since your acf is already using a flattened field. (Debatable, a question worthy of asking an elder telescope buddy) There is a bit of achromatic diffraction on this model, which is fine for me as I always use the lowest power magnification. If say do your homework first, see if it fits, try it and keep it for as little as it costs or spend some good money on a real high grade one from Meade to match your rather costly instrument. Maybe.

It probably will depending on the focal length and if the threads line up. SCT reducer/ correctors are similar.

These pumps usually have 3/4 pipe fittings. Don't see why you couldn't use a reducer. We circulate water from a wood burning furnace,constant even temp. Hope this helps, good luck

you will need an adapter as C5 is 1.25 . many available . just google : adapt 2" eyepiece to 1.25"

This lens actually fits on the telescope's eyepiece not the telescope itself. Most decent telescopes of any brand use either a 1.25" or a 2" focuser assembly. Any 1.25" eyepiece that is threaded to accept filters should be able to use this particular Orion moon filter. For example, I use it on a Meade 1.25" eyepiece with an Orion telescope that has a 1.25" focuser. Users that have a telescope with a 2" focuser typically also use standard 1.25" eyepieces with an adapter ring. This lens can then be used on those eyepieces as well. For smaller telescopes, that gather less light, Orion makes a 25% transmission version so the moon will not appear too dark to the observer. If you have less than 4 to 6 inches of aperture, then consider going with the 25% version.

I am using this adapter on an old orange tube Celestron 90 and it works. As far as the lens goes I can not help you on that other than you just added a couple of inches to the focus tube. The larger aperture lens I have worked fine, the smaller ones have not. The same has held true for the brand. Celestron lens have worked better than my Meade ones. The last problem is the actual focusing of the scope, with some of the lens the focuser is at its limit and I can not go any further and I have an out of focus image. So the answer is that the adapter works, but there are limitations.

Im not exactly sure but one thing I know for sure is you will need a reducer. This camera will magnify the image the same way a 5mm lens would. The big question you want to know before you buy this is if your telescope can move the camera close enough to the focal plane.

I don't think so. According to the Celestron website, it is only for SCT telescopes.

Yes , must have 1.25'' format nosepiece and eyepiece inputMust be used with 2 matching eyepieces

Not sure. I used it for a Celestron NexStar 130 SLT Computerized Telescope.

Filters can go on the Barlow or eyepiece. Stacking them maybe useful or not. It won't hurt to try. The moon filter is really the only one I've used regularly.

I'm not familiar with Meade products, but I just looked at my PowerTank. There are two forms of output: 1. There are two 12 volt plugs into which cigarette lighter type units can be plugged. Two. 5 five volt USB outputs. Hopefully, this will answer your question.

You can use most of the Meade additional parts. I purchased the moon filter, and additional lenses/eyepieces are available as well as add-ons for cameras, etc.

My husband did the installation and he did need an reducer/adapter. He can't recall the size, but the guy at hardware store was able to find the correct one as he took new one with him. Seem like the smaller one is the standard size, as we have answered this question from other customers. Good Luck! We like ours, nice and quiet.

I do not know about the nextstar 127, but i have been using it with the meade etx-125 maksutov tube and it is working fine. however the cg-4 isnot a goto mount.

You can, but you'll need a reducer from 4" to the 2 1/2". It won't reduce your cfm's.

It will work. I did have to drill two holes for mounting in the tube of the telescope.

I know that I got Celestron 1.25" plössi accessories kit works great with my Meade, so I'm no expert, but I think as long as the diameter is 1.25" then your good. Hope this helps you. I will say this, they sent me the wrong tube when I ordered and received a 60mm instead of the 70mm and I swore I'd never order a meade again because their customer service (meade directly) weren't accommodating and I never bothered exchanging it because of the hassle involved.
