Meade Series 5000 ED Refractors

Meade Series 5000 ED refractors produce pinpoint stars and very high contrast. Nothing beats a high quality refractor for crisp wide field observing and imaging. They also offer the widest range of useful magnification of any telescope type. Meade Series 5000 ED Triplets are virtually free of chromatic aberration (color fringing). Expert observers will be delighted by the near-total absence of color fringing and the scope’s textbook-perfect pinpoint star images. Even beginners will notice the breathtaking high contrast and resolution of a Meade Series 5000 ED.

Meade Series 5000 80mm ED Refractor Package

Meade Series 5000 ED Triplet refractors are virtually free of chromatic aberration (false color). Chromatic aberation is often visible as a violet fringe around bright objects when using an achromatic refractor.
