OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
A wide assortment of professional Meade accessories is available for the NG-Series
and NGC-series telescopes. Consult the Meade General Catalog for complete
details of these and other accessories.
Eyepieces (1.25" barrel diameter):
For higher or lower magnifications with the tele-
scopes that accommodate 1.25" eyepieces, Meade 3-element Modified Achromatic
eyepieces, available in focal lengths of 9, 12, 25, and 40mm, provide a high level of
image resolution and color correction at an economical price. Alternately, at slightly
higher prices, Meade 4-element Series 3000 Plössl eyepieces yield wider fields of
view with excellent edge-of-field corrections and are available in a range of focal
lengths including 5, 6.7, 9.5, 16, 25, and 40mm.
#126 2x Barlow Lens (1.25"): For telescopes that accommodate 1.25" eyepieces, the
Barlow lens doubles each eyepiece power while maintaining excellent image correc-
tions. For example, a 25mm eyepiece used with an NGC60 telescope yields a power
of 56X.
#928 45° Erecting Prism: The 90° diagonal provided with some telescope models
results in upright-but-reversed viewing of land subjects. The #928 45° Erecting Prism
(1.25") orients the image correctly in terrestrial applications and provides a comfort-
able 45° viewing angle.
Camera Adapter: NG-series and NGC-series telescopes may be used for through-
the-telescope photography of the Moon and planets or for terrestrial objects. For eye-
piece-projection photography with any of these telescopes, use the Basic Camera
Adapter (1.25"). See the Meade General Catalog for more information.
#1240 Electric Focuser: Attaches easily and quickly to any NGC model telescope for
smooth, vibration-free focusing. Each focuser includes coarse and microfine speeds.
The standard equipment hand controller accepts one (user-supplied) 9-volt battery.
#506 AstroFinder™ Software and Cable Connector Kit: Displays more than 10,000
celestial wonders – galaxies, nebulae, star clusters, stars, and planets – on your PC,
enabling even the beginner to locate and identify objects to observe with the telescope
or to print out star charts for use in observing sessions. Operates with any Windows™-
based personal computer. The Cable Connector Kit permits connection of any NGC
telescope and PC, for downloading of new software or for updating of Earth satellite
or other celestial object positions. This kit is included with each AstroFinder Software
package.
#546 A.C. Adapter: Plugs into any standard home outlet and includes a 25 ft. cord.
Connects to the 9v DC battery connector in the battery compartment; input voltage to
the telescope is 12v DC.
Electronic Eyepiece™: Now everyone can easily share views from an eyepiece – of
the Moon, planets, stars, and land objects – on a television screen. The built-in NTSC
video output allows for direct connection to compatible monitors, VCR's, and cam-
corders. Continuous capture mode allows you to view and record astronomical and ter-
restrial images in real time. This easy-to-set up and easy-to-use monochrome CMOS
imager offers built-in contrast control adjustment for varying astronomical and terrestri-
al lighting conditions, and is compatible with both 1.25" and .965" barrel diameters.
