These are no longer made by Meade. You can get something like them for about $80 in 2", hard to find the 1.25" any more.
Blurb:
'This Meade Series 5000 Plossl Eyepiece has a 26mm focal length presented in a 1.25" format.
Excels at full lunar and solar disc views at most focal ratios, resolves large star clusters and extended nebulae, plus acts as an excellent "sweeper" eyepiece for locating objects.
Offering a wide 60 degree field of view, the Meade Series 5000 Plossl Eyepiece shows 40% less chromatic aberrations and edge distortions over more traditional designs.
With great eye relief of over 22mm, even eyeglass wearers will enjoy viewing with this low power eyepiece.'
It has been stored in a pelican case, indoors, free from extreme cold, heat, dust or moisture affected areas. As you can see from the photos, in as-new condition without any marks at all (including from any eyepiece holder), no marks on the elements or scratches on the lens or exterior of the eyepiece.
Comes with it's original box (which is a little squashed on one side).
I'd like to sell this for $60 picked up in Canberra or add post if it is going to be posted.
Thanks for looking
Simon.
