Zefram Cochrane, incredulous after a look through his telescope
Meade was a brand of telescope in use on 21st century Earth.
Zefram Cochrane while working on the Phoenix owned a fork mounted Meade LX200 EMC telescope. During a time travel incident coinciding with the launch of his warp ship, Cochrane used the telescope to confirm the presence of a large spaceship in Earth's orbit. (Star Trek: First Contact)
While the telescope was readably labeled as a Meade LX200 EMC, significant modifications had been made compared to the normal configuration.
