Meade ceases operations

[Jeremy Shears]

Once a pioneer in telescopes and equipment, Meade has ceased to operate according to S&T: https://skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-news/meade-and-orion-cease-operations-maybe/

[David Arditti]

The fact that it is Orion Telescope & Binocular as well is bad. These names disappearing would mean a significant contraction in choice in the amateur equipment market. But Meade has gone bankrupt before and then been rescued. We’ll have to see.

[Mr Owen Michael Brazell]

They are both owned by the same company, Orion bought Meade last time out.

[Lars Lindhard]

I suppose the next chinese company will pick up the pieces

[Steve Knight]

I wonder what will happen to Meade owned Coronado?

[Dr Paul Leyland]

Being the owner of a Meade Schmidt-Newtonian I am almost, but not quite, concerned about its future well being. I suspect that parts and technical knowledge will still be available for the rest of my lifetime.
