Meade 4000 8-24mm zoom 1.25"eyepiece

 

Purchased zoom eyepiece for my Meade 80 ETX refractor telescope and after giving it a trial run on both astronomical and terrestrial sites I was pleasantly surprised. I found it to be very convenient in not having to rely on switching to several...

Meade 6.4mm eyepiece

 

The eyepiece is working well - just need clear sky's to use it. When I use it on Saturn and Mars, they get big - but too much power for summer conditions.

Works like a charm

 

I have a Celestron First Scope and as many reviewers of that point out, its included eyepieces are rubbish. This was a nice, affordable upgrade. The night it came in I quickly found 2 globular clusters and could actually make out Saturn, which was just...

Great Eyepiece for my 70mm Refractor Telescope

 

I bought this Eyepiece to use with Meade 20218 NG-70SM 70mm Altazimuth Refractor Telescope. I wanted to use this Eyepiece to watch Saturn and Jupiter. Unfortunate, Jupiter is aligned with the Sun right now, but Saturn looked superb with this Eyepiece....

Indispensable for moon, helps with planets as well

 

This filter takes the glare off the moon, enabling me to look for as long as I like with comfort and without the temporary loss of vision in that eye when I look away from the eyepiece. I consider this a must for anyone who wants to study the moon in...

Meade 26mm Is Out Of This World

 

Great ocular at a great price with fast delivery. I used this eyepiece about a week ago and was not disappointed. The Orion Nebula looked fantastic with its milky nebulosity and trapezium definition. The field of view was huge and the Meade 26mm...

Meade Super Plössl 56mm 2-Inch Eyepiece

 

excellent wide field eyepiece .. works great .. great for viewing ... does not like my Celestron f/6.3 Reducer... leaves a dark field in the middle of view ... when used together on my c-11 ...

Consumer review by:

Good accessory for observation of bright Moon phases.

 

I have owned this filter for over 7 months, and it's been very useful. It not only cuts down the Moon's brightness, (which can sometimes be overwhelming), but it also increases the contrast of surface features, most notably the lunar Mare. And for that...

Consumer review by:

Item definetely worth the price

 

The image quality degrades in the 8-11mm range but hey! that's the trade off for using a zoom eyepiece. The convenience of being able to change the magnification when casually viewing makes the device well worth the price.

Consumer review by:

Freed from lens changing

 

As soon as I got this my life as an intermediate amateur astronomer changed. It has an easy to use eyepiece with a wide lens to look through, not one of those tiny little holes you might have used. It also zooms easily between the powers that I use...

Product Specifications

Meade Oxygen-III (O-III) nebular filters provide an extraordinary level of nebular filtration on diffuse and planetary nebulae. Observations of these nebulae in a city environment with the O-III filter often yield more image contrast than observations of the same objects in a dark-sky setting without the filter. The O-III filter extracts more than 80% of the light emanating from the two oxygen-III spectral lines at 496 and 501nm. Meade 60-layer interference coating technology isolates the desirable O-III lines, while attenuating other spectral lines virtually to zero. As with Meade Narrowband Filters, the O-III Filters are complements to other Meade nebular filters; the effectiveness of each filter type is highly dependent on the physical characteristics of the particular nebula being observed. #911X threads onto the rear cells of Meade LX-series mirror-lens telescopes and onto Meade ED Apochromatic Refractors, using the Universal Thread Adapter. Also threads to other brands of SCT's as well. Clear aperture is 36mm. #911X Oxygen-III Nebular features Rear Cell Thread.
