Meade Series 5000 Ultra Wide Angle eyepieces offer revolutionary
advances in resolution, image correction, and eye-relief at irresistible
prices. With an ultra wide 82 degree field of view, long eye relief,
and premium grade optical glass, the Meade UWA eyepieces provide
beautiful, high contrast views across a large swath of sky. A extra
wide field of view makes finding and centering objects easier, and
you'll love the ability to gaze at larger objects in their entirety!
Only the highest-quality materials were selected to create these
extraordinary Meade UWA eyepieces. The eyepiece designs required several
different types of exotic glass in order to achieve the highest-level
of optical performance. Maximum light transmission is achieved through
the deposition of individually tuned, multi-layered coatings. Finally,
to keep image contrast at its peak, all lens edges and internal metal
surfaces are blackened to dampen any internal reflections that might
find its way into the optical system.
Meade Ultra Wide Angle eyepieces support observations for everyone,
including eyeglass wearers, with comfortable long eye relief and
adjustable, twist up rubber eye cups. Adjust the eye cup for your own
circumstances and preferences. Those users who have more than one Meade
Series 5000 Ultra Wide Angle Eyepiece will like the fact that they are
parfocal within the series. Little or no re-focusing is required when
changing from one Meade UWA eyepiece to another.
