Meade Series 4000 Telescope Eyepieces Overview
Series 4000 Super Wide Angles
These 6-element telescope eyepieces, with their 67° fields, offer exquisite
wide-angle images at low-to-medium powers, ideal for star fields, galaxies, and
other deep-space phenomena. Focal lengths with 1.25" barrels yield extremely
high-resolution, high-power lunar and planetary images when combined with the
#140 2x Barlow Lens. SWA telescope eyepieces are a perfect match to Meade ETX
telescopes; used with the Meade ETX-90EC, the Super Wide 18mm telescope
eyepiece, for example, yields 69X and actual field of almost 1º.
Series 4000 Super Wide Angles
The ultimate in modern telescope eyepieces, Meade 8-element Ultra Wide Angle
telescope eyepieces permit extreme image fidelity and sharpness over an amazing
84° apparent field. On an 8" f/10 Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope, for example, the
Ultra Wide Angle 14mm telescope eyepiece yields 143X and an actual field of view
of 0.6°; used with a 10" f/4.5 Newtonian reflector, the same telescope eyepiece
results in an actual field of more than 1° at 82X. For moderate-to-high-power
applications Meade Ultra Wide Angle oculars provide an uncommon observing
experience. A magnificent optical match with Maksutovs, Schmidt-Cassegrains,
apochromatic refractors, and fast Newtonians.
