- Model: Meade Filter Set #2 (1.25") with 11, 25A, 47, 82A Filters
Review Meade Filter Set #2 (1.25") with 11, 25A, 47, 82A Filters / Meade 07529:Set #2 (4 filters): #11 Yellow-Green; #25A Red; #47 Violet; #82A Light Blue. #11 Yellow-Green (78% transmission) - Contrasts well with the red and blue characteristics of surface features on Jupiter and Saturn. Darkens the maria visible on Mars, and clarifies the Cassini division in Saturn's rings. #25A Red (14% transmission) - The #25A filter strongly blocks the transmission of blue and blue-green wavelengths, resulting in very sharply defined contrast between, for example, blue-tinted cloud formations on Jupiter and the lighter-toned features of the disc. Also useful for the delineation of the Martian polar ice caps and maria. Because of its relatively low total light transmission the #25A filter should be employed on telescopes of 8" aperture and larger. #47 Violet (3% transmission) - Strongly rejects red, yellow, and green wavelengths; useful for the study of Martian polar cap regions and for the observation of occasional phenomena in the upper atmosphere of Venus. Enhances contrast between the rings of Saturn. Use only on telescopes of 8" aperture and larger. #82A Light Blue (73% transmission) - Useful on the Moon, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, this subtle pale blue filter enhances areas of low contrast while avoiding significant reduction of overall image brightness. [+]A valuable filter to piggyback with other filters. |

Review Tele Vue Eyepiece Caddy Set. / Tele Vue TEC1018:These sleek little brackets attach with thumb screws, to the yoke arms of all Tele Vue mount heads, keeping your eyepieces safely and conveniently at your fingertips. The set holds three 1¼" and two 2" eyepieces. The 2" holes have removeable 1¼" inserts as well. The Eyepiece Caddy Set is highly recommended for all our mounts. The Panoramic and Gibraltar accesory trays are great, but they don't hold your eyepieces securely, like a Caddy, if your tripod gets bumped in the night! And once you experience the convenience of having a Caddy, bending to reach for an eyepiece will seem like a big inconvenience! The Tele-Pod does not offer a place to hold eyepieces. so the handy caddies will be a truly welcomed addition. The Caddy brackets are made of 3/8" thick aluminium and are powder coated for extra durability. |
