Meade Series 4000 9mm 1.25" Plossl Illuminated Reticle (Wireless)

2.5 out of 5 stars
4 customer reviews

The most advanced commercially-available illuminated reticle eyepiece, this Series 4000 Plössl 9mm model includes micrometric x-y positioning controls which greatly facilitate locking onto the guide star: turn the finely-threaded controls and place the reticle’s crossline pattern precisely at the desired position in the field. The sharp, high-power imaging of the 4-element, multi-coated Plössl optical system is complemented by a rubber eyecup (foldable for eyeglass wearers) that shuts out distracting stray light from the observer’s eye. The upper (lens) section of the eyepiece rotates on a fine thread for precise diopter adjustment to the user’s eye. Reticle pattern is a double crossline with two concentric circles.

Wireless Model:The Series 4000 Plössl 9mm Wireless Illuminated Reticle Eyepiece Includes a red LED illuminator, operated from internal batteries, with variable brightness control; batteries are included with each eyepiece.

Meade 9mm Wireless Illuminated Reticle

By Donovan Conrad on October, 16th 2009

BEAUTIFUL. I like this much better than the wired model. The ability to fine tune the luminosity is nice, but never snagging that cable again is a real winner.

DOES THE JOB.

By eric rachut on July, 14th 2015

Yes, the eye relief is short, but just fold down the eyecup and you're in business. Yes, the reticle, at its dimmest, is still bright, but put your star in the corner of where the crosshairs meet and not in the center, and you're OK. This is an affordable, higher-magnification version of the 12.5 mm eyepiece, when you need that extra magnification (as when estimating the position angle of close doubles - my purpose) and for that goal, it does the job just fine.

Save your money!

By Dan Avnet on October, 16th 2009

Worst piece of junk I ever bought. I even felt bad about returning it. When the illumination was advanced enough to see the wires it flooded the field of view making the guide star invisible. The contrast was very very poor also. Save up and buy the Takahashi model. You wont be disappointed in that one. Promise.

Junk!

By Chris Provost on October, 16th 2009

No eyerelief 3mm is generous. Grease from the adjustment screws continues to bleed on to the internal lense. No accurate way to return the reticle to center. Too bright and washed out. I feel ripped off and actually think I got a returned item to begin with.
