Meade’s new Ultra-High Definition (UHD) Eyepieces offer a very wide field-of-view, with pinpoint edge-of-field sharpness. These latest advancements in Meade’s Series 5000 Eyepiece Series offers a fully multi-coated optical design with premium-grade, exotic optical glass for the best possible image correction in color and brightness. The blackened lens edges provide enhanced contrast and help to reduce reflections while the parfocal design delivers little-to-no focus change when switching between eyepieces. With a generous eye relief, enjoy a comfortable observing experience. UHD eyepieces deliver a 40% improvement in corrections for chromatic aberration and edge distortions over traditional Plössls.
With a waterproof design, UHD eyepieces will guard against fog and outdoor atmospheric elements. Observe your favorite celestial objects in a new and improved view.
