Meade’s ETX-LS telescope, which they have unveiled at CES 2009 seems to be simple enough that anyone can get involved in a bit of stargazing. It features “light switch technology,” which reportedly makes aligning the telescope as easy as flipping a switch thanks to the help o? an on-board sensor module and their Electronically Controlled Locate Identify Position System (ECLIPS). It can also capture images.

While the obvious “Astronomy for Dummies” comparisons are floating around, I think this is a really good way to get people interested in astronomy. [Gear Log]
