OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
A wide assortment of professional Meade accessories is available for the
RCX400
tel-
escope models. The premium quality of these accessories is well-suited to the quality
of the instrument itself.
Consult the Meade General Catalog for complete details
on these and other accessories.
Meade Series 4000 Eyepieces:
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.
