Series 5000 Plössl eyepieces

Series 5000 Super Wide Angle

Series 5000 Ultra Wide Angle

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 favourite 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
