Well, it wouldn't be the first time. The original 90mm goto ETX  
certainly couldn't see most of the objects in its database, especially  
under typical conditions, but that did okay.

Maybe Meade is counting on their scope slewing to an invisible target  
and then having the owners look at a little picture of it on the screen.
