Product Description
Designed with the very latest in optical glass types, Meade four-element Series 4000 Super Plossls are excellent general-purpose eyepieces. For observing hairline lunar and planetary detail, splitting close double stars, or for resolving faint nebulosity in deep space, Super Plossls optimize the performance of any telescope type.Features:12.4mm focal length52° apparent field1.25" ocular diameter, barrel threaded for filtersFour-element designSeven-layer, multi-coated opticsEdge-blackened for optimum image contrastParfocal design limits refocusing when switching between Series 4000 eyepiecesMeade Series 4000 eyepieces yield the widest possible fields of view, consistent with pinpoint edge-of-field sharpness and long eye relief - with extremely low astigmatism, spherical aberration and off-axis color. Each eyepiece includes a soft rubber eyeguard - custom fitted to each eyepiece with a bayonet mount - that folds down for eyeglass wearers.

This was bought as a Christmas gift so I personally can not review this. However, from the reaction received and the use it has gotten, I would say this rates very high.


4 out of 5 stars A great general purpose medium-high power eyepiece   September 8, 2004

The Meade Series 4000 Super Plössls are an improvment over the 3000 series Plössls. The 12.4mm is used for medium-high power observing on most telescopes. This eyepiece offers a magnification of 101x on an ETX90 or 161x on a 2000mm focal length telescope like the LX90.
