EYEPIECES. A brilliant eyepiece. An ingenious price.
One of astronomy’s most famous a m ateurs (who prefers to remain a nonymous to keep peace with
Meade’s competitors) discovered seven comets with Meade eyepieces. He says, “because they
offer pinpoint resolution and high contrast to the extreme field edge, I have switched nearly
every eyepiece in my observing set to Series 4000s. At these prices, who can resist?
Series 4000 QX Wide Angle™ eyepieces are one of the few eyepieces sold today that offer a 70º apparent field of view
combined with ultra sharp resolution and contrast. Series 4000 Super Plössls represent the best eyepiece value in
the market. Period. The Series 4000 zoom lens offers a complete focal length range from 8mm to 24mm (in a single
eyepiece) without sacrificing resolution compared to fixed focal length oculars.
Series 4000 highlights include: Premium grade optical glass, multi-layer coatings, blackened lens edges, parfocal
(except 40mm and 56mm Super Plössls), comfortable eye relief, fold-down rubber eyeguards.
