Inspecting the Optics
A Note About the Flashlight Test: If a flashlight or other high-intensity light source is
pointed down the main telescope tube, the view (depending upon the observer’s line
of sight and the angle of the light) may reveal what appears to be scratches, dark or
bright spots, or just generally uneven coatings, giving the appearance of poor quality
optics. These items are only seen when a high intensity light is transmitted through
lenses or reflected off the mirrors, and can be seen on any high quality optical system,
including giant research telescopes.
The optical quality of a telescope cannot be judged by the “flashlight test;" the true test
of optical quality can only be conducted through careful star testing.

ing or repairs, write or call the Meade Customer Service Department first, before
returning the telescope to the factory, giving full particulars as to the nature of the
