This Meade Series 5000 Super Wide Angle 24mm Eyepiece is a great choice due to its wide field of view, excellent light transmission, comfortable eye relief, and solid build quality. Its versatility and affordability make it a valuable addition to any astronomer's eyepiece collection, particularly for those interested in wide-field observations and deep-sky objects. This pre-owned eyepiece shows no signs of past use, and has a clear, unblemished lens. Reasons to buy this eyepiece include:
Wide Field of View: This eyepiece offers a 68-degree apparent field of view, which is significantly wider than standard eyepieces. This wide field of view enhances the observing experience by allowing more of the sky to be seen at once, making it ideal for deep-sky objects like star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies.
Optical Quality: The Series 5000 eyepieces feature premium optical components, including high-quality glass elements and advanced multi-coatings. These ensure excellent light transmission, high contrast, and sharpness across the entire field of view. The result is bright, clear, and detailed images.
Comfortable Eye Relief: The 24mm focal length provides generous eye relief, which is the distance from the eyepiece lens to your eye where you can see the full field of view. This makes for comfortable extended viewing sessions and is particularly beneficial for eyeglass wearers.
Build Quality: Meade is known for producing durable and well-constructed astronomical equipment. The Series 5000 eyepieces have a robust build, often featuring rubber grips for secure handling and weather-resistant housing for longevity.
Twist-Up Eyecup: The eyepiece often includes a twist-up eyecup design, allowing users to adjust the height for optimal comfort. This feature is especially useful for eyeglass wearers, providing a customizable viewing experience.
1.25" Barrel Size: The 1.25" barrel size makes this eyepiece compatible with a wide range of telescopes and accessories. It is a standard size that fits most telescopic focusing tubes and accessories, providing versatility in usage.
