Premium Wide-Angle Eyepiece!
Introducing Meade’s Series 5000 Premium Wide-Angle 16 mm Eyepiece (PWA)! This series features high-quality eyepieces with fully multi-coated optical designs, ensuring clarity and enhanced contrast throughout the entire field of view.
This Meade PWA eyepiece has an eye relief of 12 mm and a standout 82º apparent field of view. The generous eye relief paired with the longer focal length of 16 mm makes this a great pick for deep space objects such as star clusters, galaxies, and smaller nebulae like the Ring Nebulae. These eyepieces are also parfocal which makes them perfect for quick magnification change. You will also notice minimal light reflection thanks to the blackened lens edges; making the Meade PWA series an all-around comfortable experience for the amateur visual astronomer!

Parfocal Perfection!
The Meade’s Series 5000 Premium 16 mm eyepiece is designed to be parfocal, meaning they share a common focus point regardless of the focal length. This feature makes it incredibly convenient to switch between eyepieces of different focal lengths during your observation session, as only minimal focus adjustments will be needed. This ensures you spend more time observing and less time refocusing.
About the Optics
This Meade eyepiece series features a multi-coated design with blackened edges, giving you a plethora of enhancements such as color correction, enhanced contrast, reduced lens glare, and brighter views. You also receive a 12 mm eye relief and a larger 82º apparent FOV! This ensures comfortable viewing with minimal strain.
Comfortable Viewing Experience
Each eyepiece will include a removable, soft silicone rubber eyecup for the comfort of the observer, and, as experienced astronomers know, eye comfort is critical when trying to observe at the visual limits of the telescope for visual observations.
