Operating Instructions Series 5000™ ED APO Refractor Optical Tubes Fig. 1: 80mm ED APO OTA with 2" series 5000 enhanced diagonal. Introduction Using the Focuser Assembly Series 5000 ED APO are true three-element apochromatic refractors that are virtually free of chromatic aberration (color fringing), providing pinpoint star images. Insert an eyepiece into the focuser assembly and tighten the focuser thumbscrew. A Series 5000 APO is the ideal companion for your larger Schmidt-Cassegrain, Ritchey-Chrétien, or Newtonian scope. When piggybacked, a Series 5000 APO is the ideal wide-field photography scope when guided by the primary instrument and doubles as a guide scope for the primary telescope. It also makes an ideal lightweight and portable scope for flawless visual observing. Features • FAST FOCAL RATIO: At f/6 (80mm) and f/7.5 (127mm), the focal ratio of these scopes is ideal for wide field astrophotography. • PREMIUM ED GLASS: Meade uses the finest Japanese FCD1 ED (Extremely Low Dispersion) glass. This glass is created to achieve a very small change in refractive index with different wavelengths of light. This makes it the perfect choice for a fast, high performance optical design like the Series 5000 APOs. • FULLY MULTI-COATED LENSES: Meade broadband multicoated lenses ensure maximum light transmission. • TRUE ED APOCHROMATIC TRIPLET: A true triplet optical design guarantees the textbook color correction you expect from a premium APO. • FULLY EXTENDABLE DEW SHIELD/SUN SHADE: An essential accessory built-in to the design for your convenience. • MACHINED ALUMINUM CRAYFORD STYLE FOCUSER: Superior focuser means smooth and repeatable focusing with no image shift. Accepts 1.25" & 2" accessories. • AIR-SPACED OBJECTIVE LENS: The precision air-spaced triple element ED objective lens focuses red, green, and blue wavelengths to the exact same point • ADJUSTABLE LENS CELL: Allows collimation of lenses if necessary. • MOUNTING BRACKET: (80mm only): Allows mounting on a wide verity of Meade and non-Meade German Equatorial Mounts and almost all photo tripods. To focus the eyepiece, turn the focuser wheels in or out. If you have a 2 inch eyepiece, remove the 1.25" eyepiece holder from the focuser assembly by loosening holder thumbscrew. Slide the 2 inch eyepiece into the focuser and tighten with the eyepiece locking screw. The focuser has both a lock knob and a tension adjustment knob. The first lock prevents the draw tube from moving in and out. The second lock locks the focuser knob, thereby locking a focus position into place. Experiment with these knobs to discover which adjustments are comfortable with your viewing style. draw tube focuser wheel lock knob tension adjustment Fig. 2: The tension adjustment and lock knobs.
