The new Meade 5000 PWA Eyepieces (PWA stands for Premium Wide-Angle) are high-quality eyepieces that feature a fully multi-coated optical design with premium-grade optical glass for the best possible image correction in color, contrast, and brightness.
The blackened lens edges provide enhanced contrast and help to reduce reflections while the parfocal design delivers little-to-no focus change when switching between eyepieces. With a generous eye relief, users will enjoy a comfortable observing experience.
PWA eyepieces are great to view celestial objects that require a wide field of view – such as star clusters and large deep-sky objects, including galaxies and nebulae.
