Meade 56mm focal length Series 4000 Super Plössl eyepiece, with 2" barrel. The Meade Series 4000 Super Plössl eyepieces offer precision engineered Meade optics, with wide fields, sharp images, and very satisfying views at very reasonable cost.

Utilizing the very latest in optical glass types, the Series 4000 eyepieces represent an excellent general-purpose eyepiece. Engineered with a high quality 4-element design and offering a generous 52° apparent field of view, the eyepiece uses premium grade optical glass with multi-layer coatings and blackened lens edges for great image sharpness and contrast. With fold down rubber eyeguard for comfortable viewing as well as blocking stray light.
This large 2" barrel diameter eyepiece requires a 2" eyepiece holder or diagonal. Please note that this eyepiece is not parafocal with other eyepieces of this series so you will need to refocus when switching eyepieces.

Meade Series 4000 eyepieces are a terrific value and the lowest cost way to expand your range of magnifications with genuine Meade quality optics.
