Series 5000 TeleXtenders: An advanced 4-element design flattens the field of view, and the fully coated lenses deliver the maximum light transmission, the highest con- trast and an image free of color fringing. Maintains a comfortable eye relief of longer focal length eyepieces, while increasing magnification.

Series 4000 8 - 24mm Zoom Eyepiece: The internal zoom optics of this eyepiece move on smooth, precisely machined surfaces which maintain optical collimation at all zoom settings. A scale graduated in 1mm units indicates the zoom focal length in operation. An excellent addition to any eyepiece set.

Series 4000 Photo-Visual Color Filters: Color filters significantly enhance visual and photographic image contrast of the Moon and planets. Each filter threads into the barrel of any Meade 1.25" eyepiece, and into the barrels of virtually all other eyepiece brands as well. Meade filters are available in 12 colors for lunar and planetary appli- cations, and in Neutral Density as a lunar glare-reduction filter.

Looking at or near the Sun will cause irreversible damage to your eye. Do not point this telescope at or near the
