4.0 out of 5 stars A great general purpose high power eyepiece, September 8, 2004

This review is from: Meade 07171-02 9.7mm Super Plossl Series 4000 (Electronics)

The Meade Series 4000 Super Plössls are an improvment over the 3000 series Plössls. 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.

This is the one that gets used the most, along with the Meade 32mm Super Plossl. These 2 EPs plus a good 2x barlow is about all you need.

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