OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
A wide assortment of professional Meade accessories is available for the StarNavigator
telescopes. The premium quality of these accessories is well suited to the quality of the
instrument itself. Consult meade.com for complete details on these and other
accessories.
Eyepieces: For higher and lower magnifications, Meade Series 4000 Super Plössl (SP) yield
high-resolution imaging with all StarNavigator telescope models. A useful selection includes the
SP 15 mm and SP 12.4 mm eyepieces.
#126 2x Barlow Lens (1.25"/3 cm): Doubles each eyepiece power while maintaining excellent
image corrections. For example, a 9 mm eyepiece used with the StarNavigator114 yields a
power of 111X; when used in conjunction with the #126 Barlow lens, the same eyepiece yields
222X.
#928 45° Erecting Prism: The 90° diagonal provided with StarNavigator refractors results in
upright-but-reversed viewing of land subjects.The #928 45° Erecting Prism (1.25"/3 cm) orients
the image correctly in terrestrial applications and results in a comfortable 45° viewing angle.For
use with refractors only.
Camera Adapter: StarNavigator telescopes may be used for through-the-telescope
photography of the Moon and planets or for terrestrial objects. For eyepiece-projection
photography with any of these telescopes, use the Basic Camera Adapter (1.25"/3 cm).

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 StarNavigator telescope model, Audiostar, and
PC, for downloading of new software to Audiostar or for updating of Earth satellite or other
celestial object positions.This kit is included with each AstroFinder Software package.
Electronic Eyepiece™: Now everyone can easily share views from an eyepiece – of the Moon,
planets, stars, and land objects – on a television screen and allows for direct connection to
monitors, VCRs, and camcorders. This easy-to-set up and easy-to-use monochrome CMOS
imager offers built-in contrast control adjustment for varying astronomical and terrestrial lighting
conditions.
The AutoStar Suite with Meade LPI™ (Lunar Planetary Imager) turns your StarNavigator
telescope, AudioStar and PC into an even more powerful and easy-to-use astronomical
instrument. Capture great images of the the Moon, planets, and brighter deep-sky objects, plus
terrestrial targets the first time out. With Magic Eye software-assisted focusing, the AutoStar
Suite Software includes imaging and planetarium tools. Includes a cable to connect your
telescope to your PC.
