rated 4 out of 5 Quality high power plossl
by Brigmonk , 2006-04-02


This Meade eyepice is of excellent build quality. It offers very good resolution of the planets, moon, starclusters, planetary nebulae, and double stars.



rated 4 out of 5 A great general purpose high power eyepiece
by Taras R. Hnatyshyn from New York, NY USA, 2004-09-08


The Meade Series 4000 Super Plssls are an improvment over the 3000 series Plssls. The 9.7mm is used for high power observing on most telescopes. This eyepiece offers a magnification of 129x on an ETX90 or 206x on a 2000mm focal length telescope like the LX90. At high magnifications one requires a steady atmosphere, or else the image appears blurry due to bad "seeing". But with steady skies, this eyepiece produces stunning views of the planets.
