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 favorite celestial objects.
5.5mm
Series 5000 6 Element Plossl
6 elements of glass and
Fully Multi coatings help make this high performance Plossl a winner, 7mm
of eye relief is a little less than ideal for eyeglass wearers. As a planetary
eyepiece is where this eyepiece will fit into the scheme of things. 60
degree of apparent field will make it big enough to be very useful on planetary
nebulae and even in an f/10 telescope will still yield just under .5mm
exit pupil. It is Parfocal with other 5000 Series Plossls.

9mm
Series 5000 5 Element Plossl
This 5 element fully multi
coated eyepiece offers a 60 degree apparent field, resulting in a larger
true field than the standard plossl eyepiece. 6.8mm of eye relief is less
than what eye glass wearers can use, however it will be great for globular
clusters and amongst the Fornax cluster of galaxies. Just under 1mm of
exit pupil in f/10 SCT's makes it a very comfortable eyepiece for most
astronomers. It is Parfocal with other 5000 Series Plossls.

Great eyepiece for galaxies, globular clusters and smaller open clusters
and nebulae. Very comfortable eyepiece to use that offers a slightly larger
true field than the standard plossl eyepiece. 1.4mm of exit pupil in an
f/10 SCT makes for brighter images. It is Parfocal with other 5000
Series Plossls. I

eyepiece to look through. the 19.3mm of eye relief will make this a favourite
with eyeglass wearers. It is sharp and crisp over the entire field
of view. For bright nebulae, open clusters, globular clusters, this is
a great eyepiece. Our technicians were very impressed with it. Parfocal
with all other 5000 Series Plossls.I

at the sharpness of the image. The larger galactic nebulae look spectacular
through this eyepiece. At 400gms it is heavy and this will have to be taken
into account in smaller scopes. It is Parfocal with all other 5000 Series
Plossls. I
