Meade® Series 4000 8mm-24mm Zoom Eyepiece



The Meade Series 4000 Zoom Eyepiece is perfect for advanced amateur astronomers who are unwilling to compromise on optical performance. This powerhouse produces a resolution that is fully consistent with today's finest fixed focal length eyepieces while providing the convenience and variability of a zoom eyepiece.The Meade Series 4000 Zoom is a perfect accessory for telescopes of all types, brands and price levels – whether 60mm refractor, 8" Dobsonian, ETX-90 or 12" LX200 Schmidt-Cassegrain. Its seven-element system provides an apparent field of 40 at the 24mm setting, increasing continuously to a 55 field at 8mm. The internal zoom optics move on smooth, precisely machined surfaces allowing the viewer to maintain optical collimation at all zoom settings. A scale graduated in 1mm increments indicates the zoom focal length in operation. All internal lenses are multi-coated for maximum light transmission and image contrast, and the chromed brass barrel is threaded for filters. Includes foldable rubber eyecup that allows eyeglass wearers to capture the entire field of view.

Meade® 5-Piece Photo Visual Filter Kit



Enhance the imaging power of your telescope with five of Meade's most popular filters, including:#12 Yellow – Contrasts strongly with blue-colored features on Jupiter and Saturn, while enhancing red and orange features#58 Green – Strongly increases contrast of Mars' polar ice caps and Venus' atmospheric phenomena.#25A Red – Improves apparent delineation of the Martian polar ice caps and maria#80A Blue – Enhances contrast of rilles and festoons in Jupiter's cloud beltsNeutral Density – Reduces glare and irradiation in lunar observation1 year manufacturer's warrantyEach colored filter reduces the transmission of specific wavelengths of light to improve image resolution and enhance your viewing enjoyment – while the Neutral Density filter transmits light uniformly across the entire visual spectrum, allowing for glare-free observations. Meade Series 4000 Filters measure 26mm in clear aperture and are manufactured from the purest crown optical glass, dyed-in-the-mass (not "color coated"). Each filter is anti-reflection coated on both sides and is mounted in a machined aluminum cell with the written number of the filter marked on the side of the cell. Filters may be piggybacked – or stacked – to achieve selective filtration of the visual color spectrum. For visual applications, Series 4000 Filters thread into the barrels of all Meade 1.25" eyepieces. Each filter is packed in a foam-fitted plastic case for secure long-term storage.

Meade® Color Filter Set #2



Make the most out of your astronomical observations and photography with a set of four color filters that enhance surface details, increase contrast and highlight even the subtlest planetary features. Using the correct filter, for example, can mean the difference between seeing and not seeing small craterlets on the Moon or seeing six festoons on Jupiter versus two. Includes:#11 Yellow-Green Filter – 78% light transmission: Darkens the maria on Mars and clarifies Saturn's rings#25A Red Filter – 14% light transmission: Strongly blocks blue-green light, resulting in more sharply defined contrast; best for telescopes with 8" aperture or larger#47 Violet Filter – 3% light transmission: Useful for the study of Martian polar caps and the Venusian atmosphere; best for telescopes with 8" aperture or larger#82A Light Blue Filter – 73% light transmission: Enhances areas of low contrast and makes a great piggyback filterMeade Series 4000 Filters measure 26mm in clear aperture and are manufactured from the purest crown optical glass, dyed-in-the-mass (not "color coated").
