The new Series 5000 Plössl eyepieces represent a milestone in design and engineering. The five and six element designs feature tack sharp optical performance which delivers a 40% improvement in corrections for chromatic aberration and edge-distortions over traditional plössl. They yield the widest possible fields-of-view, consistent with pinpoint edge-of-field sharpness and contrast. Compare their unparalleled 60° apparent field-of-view to any Plössl on the market today. Take a look through the new Meade Series 5000 Plössls and rediscover your favorite celestial objects.

Wide 60° apparent field-of-view • Premium grade optical glass • Individually tuned, multi-layered coatings for maximum light transmission • Lens edges and all internal metal surfaces are blackened to maximize image contrast • Parfocal - little or no refocusing required when switching eyepieces • Long eye relief • Adjustable twist-up rubber eyeguards.

BARLOW LENSES

Meade #126 x2 Barlow Lens

Only 2.5inches (63mm) long, it works well with any telescope accepting 1.25inch eyepieces, even those with limited focus range, and maintains the high image quality of the Telenegative. Insert the short focus Barlow into a star diagonal for 2x or insert the diagonal into the Barlow for 3x. 27mm diameter (26mm clear aperture).

Meade #127 x2-x3 Variable Barlow Lens

Includes a precision sliding-lens assembly, permitting continuously variable power factors between 2x and 3x. Pos

itive stops are provided at both ends of the lens travel, and an engraved scale indicates the power in use. Clear aperture is 25mm. This popular, high-performance Barlow is recommended for use on telescopes with focal ratios of f/6 and longer.

FILTERS

4000 Series Photo-Visual Color Filters (1.25")

Moon Filter: ND96

(0.9 density; 13% transmission): The neutral density filter transmits light uniformly across the entire visual spectrum. It serves as an excellent filter to reduce glare and irradiation when observing the Moon with any telescope 4" and larger. The ND96 filter may also be employed in the splitting of close double stars where one of the binary pair significantly exceeds the other in brightness. Double thread.

Set #1 (#12, #23A, #58, #80A)

Set #2 (#11, #25A, #47, #82A)

Set #3 (#8, #21, #38A, #56)

#8 Light-Yellow

(83% transmission): Useful in observing red and orange-colored phenomena in the belts of Jupiter and in enhancing the level of observable detail of small orange-red zonal features within the belts of the planet. Increases contrast of maria on Mars. Can result in improved resolution of dusky detail on Uranus and Neptune in instruments of 10" aperture and larger. A popular filter for the enhancement of lunar features, particularly in telescopes of 8" aperture and smaller.

#11 Yellow-Green

(78% transmission): Contrasts well with the red and blue characteristics of surface features on Jupiter and Saturn. Darkens the maria visible on Mars, and clarifies the Cassini division in Saturn's rings.

#12 Yellow

(74% transmission): Contrasts strongly with blue-colored features on Jupiter and Saturn, while enhancing red and orange features. Lightens red-orange features on Mars, while reducing or blocking the transmission, and thereby increasing the contrast, of blue-green areas. Useful in increasing the contrast of lunar features in telescopes 6" aperture and larger.

#21 Orange

(46% transmission): Reduces or blocks transmission of blue-green wavelengths. Use on Jupiter and Saturn to enhance detail in the belts and polar regions. Sharpens boundaries between yellow-orange areas and blue-green regions on Mars, resulting in a darkening of edge-detail in the maria.

#23A Light-Red

(25% transmission): On telescopes of 6" aperture and larger the #23A does approximately the same functions as the #21 filter, but with stronger contrast and enhancement of marginally defined blue-green surface detail. Useful primarily on Jupiter, Saturn, and Mars. Increases contrast between Mercury and bright blue sky during daylight observations or during twilight.

#25A Red

(14% transmission): The #25A filter strongly blocks the transmission of blue and blue-green wavelengths, resulting in very sharply defined contrast between, for example, blue-tinted cloud formations on Jupiter and the lighter-toned features of the disc. Also useful for the delineation of the Martian polar ice caps and maria. Because of its relatively low total light transmission the #25A filter should be employed on telescopes of 8" aperture and larger.
