Looking for an older Plossl or 5-element eyepiece around 10mm.

Particularly interested in the ones listed below but will consider others.


10.5mm Tele Vue Plossl
10mm 5-element eyepieces such as Orion Ultrascopic
10mm Celestron Silvertop (the all silver version with orange lettering)


Am also interested in other focal lengths of the Ultrascopics/Ultimas.

Contact by PM please.

Still looking. Mainly after something around 10mm but others would be nice too.

Bit of a long shot but would love a Tele Vue 10.5mm Plossl. :D

Did you consider old binos eyepieces?

I found them to be very good. Some of them I suspect are Erfle-like.

Telescope and Astronomy have some parks and Meade 4000 series listed. If the Meade are stamped Japan they might be worth a go.

If you can be sure its the 5 element series and in good nick.

"Various Meade Series 4000 1.25" $25 - $60"

Thanks Steve.

Doubt they're the Japanese 5-elements at that price but I'll check it out.
