Meade's Illuminated MA12mm Astrometric Eyepiece is very useful for astrophotographers who need to lock onto guide stars or for observers aligning their telescope or making astronomical measurements. A high-precision eyepiece for a wide range of astronomical measurements, the Meade 12mm Astrometric Eyepiece is an important tool for the advanced amateur. The laser-etched reticle is evenly illuminated by an internal red LED to stand out against the dark sky, with the illumination intensity variable from bright to faint. Four types of measuring scales are included, for measuring double star angular separations, position angles, planetary diameters and lunar crater diameters, as well as many other useful astronomical measurements. Included also is a double-crossline scale for guiding during astrophotography, making the Meade Astrometric Eyepiece truly an all-purpose illuminated reticle system.
The 3-element Modified Achromatic optical system yields sharp images across the full field of view and its optics are coated for increased light transmission. The eyepiece's diopter adjustment allows for sharp focusing of the reticle to the observer's eye, while a rubber eyecup (foldable for eyeglass wearers) shields the eye from extraneous light. The MA 12mm Astrometric Eyepiece is supplied complete with wireless illumination control and internal batteries.
This eyepiece is in excellent condition and comes with the protective caps as shown in the photos and also a copy of the Operating Instructions. Just $100, which includes careful packing and registered postage to anywhere in Australia. Inquiries by PM only please.
