Meade 5.5mm Series 5000 Plossl
Used with a 80mm apochromatic refractor. Performance disappointing. Difficult to get sharp focus even under very good seeing conditions. I will try it with a new triplet refracot. Considerably better viewing with comparably priced Telev ue Plossyl and Baader Hyperions and TMB Planetary eyepieces. |
