Tele Vue Radians
A 60 deg. Field (a Radian = 57.3 deg.) , uniform 20mm eye-relief,
full field sharpness, freedom from distortion, freedom from ghosting (for
critical planetary viewing) along with a unique adjustable eyeguard
assembly which we call "Instadjust."
Usual Tele Vue features such as full multicoating, blackened lens
edges, parfocalization, and grip-ring complement the Radian line. With a
reasonable size, weight and cost, I anticipate the Radians will set a new
benchmark in viewing pleasure for any person and any target within the
eyepiece focal length range of 3mm-18mm. 18, 14, 12, 10, 8mm models have
just 6-elements. 6, 5, 4, 3mm have 7 elements
Price $349 (all sizes)

Tele Vue Panoptics
The Tack-Sharp, Long Eye-Relief 68 degree Field
Eyepiece
With the Panoptic series, Tele Vue has taken the Wide-Field concept to
Naglerlike performance levels - A meaningful advance over any eyepiece in
its 68 degree field class.

Meade Series 3000 Plossl Eyepieces
A fine alternative to
more expensive eyepieces, Meade Series 3000 Plössls are available
in a wide range of focal lengths from 5mm through 40mm and fully
exploit the excellent image corrections obtainable from the
classical Plössl design.
|
|

|
All five Series 3000 Plössls from 5mm through 25mm are parfocal,
so that, at most, only slight refocusing of the image is required
when switching from one eyepiece to another.
Meade Series 3000 Plössls are multi-coated for maximum light
transmission and image contrast. Chrome-plated brass barrels are
threaded for standard filters. All focal lengths include rubber
eyecups.
Prices 5mm,
6.7mm, 9.5mm, 16mm, 25mm - $90
Price 40mm $135

Super Plössls: Designed to utilize the very latest in optical
glass types, Meade 4-element Super Plössls are excellent
general-purpose eyepieces. For observing hairline lunar and
planetary detail, splitting close double stars, or for resolving
faint nebulosity in deep-space, Meade Super Plössls optimize the
performance of any telescope type, whether f/10 Schmidt-Cassegrain,
f/16 refractor, or f/4 reflector. |
| They
also operate well in conjunction with the air-spaced design
of the Meade #140 2x Apochromatic Barlow. All focal lengths
through 32mm are parfocal. The Super Plössl 56mm eyepiece
with 2" O.D. barrel yields 36X and an actual field of
view of 1.4° on an 8" f/10 Schmidt-Cassegrain
telescope. |

Super Wide Angles: These 6-element 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 eyepieces are a perfect match to Meade
ETX telescopes; used with the Meade ETX-90EC, the Super Wide
18mm eyepiece, for example, yields 69X and actual field of
almost 1°. |

| Meade
Ultra Wide Angles: The ultimate in modern eyepieces, Meade
8-element Ultra Wide Angle 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 eyepiece yields 143X and an actual |

|
|
| field
of view of 0.6°; used with a 10" f/4.5 Newtonian reflector,
the same 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. |

Meade #140 2x
Apochromatic Barlow Lens |
Meade #140 2x Apochromatic
Barlow Lens: The most advanced Barlow lens yet developed for
commercial telescopes, the Meade #140 2x Apochromatic Barlow includes a
3-element, air-spaced telenegative lens unmatched in image resolution,
contrast, and color correction.
|
Used with any telescope
— refractor, reflector, or Schmidt- Cassegrain — equipped with a
focuser accepting standard 1.25" barrel-diameter eyepieces, the
#140 Barlow doubles the telescope’s effective focal length,
thereby doubling the effective eyepiece magnification. With a
diagonal mirror or prism placed between the Barlow and an eyepiece
(e.g., in applications with refractors or Schmidt-Cassegrains),
effective eyepiece magnification is approximately tripled.
|
|
The #140 optically complements Meade
Series 4000 eyepieces, while enhancing the performance of other
eyepieces as well. Mechanical components are of machined aluminum
and brass. Lens diameter is 28mm; clear aperture is 26mm.
The multi-coated optics of the #140 Barlow provide maximum light
transmission and image contrast. Thousands of these Meade Barlow
systems are now in use by advanced amateurs worldwide. There is no
finer Barlow available.
