The Explore Scientific 82° Series eyepiece provides an immersive 82° apparent field of view, promoting a relaxed viewing experience. This ultra-wide field makes it easier to observe for longer periods and notice subtle details. It also facilitates using averted vision, a technique helpful for observing faint objects by directing the image to more light-sensitive parts of the eye.
Key Features:
* 30mm focal length offers low magnification, ideal for observing deep sky objects like nebulae, galaxies, and star clusters, revealing fainter targets and broader celestial views.
* Broad 82-degree apparent field of view simplifies object location and exploration of large celestial regions, enhancing viewing comfort and aiding averted vision.
* Delivers high-resolution views with sharp contrast through edge-blackened optical elements made of low-dispersion, high-refractive-index glass. Each lens is fully multi-coated with durable enhanced multi-layer deposition (EMD) coatings for maximum light transmission.
* Waterproof housing is purged with inert gas and O-ring sealed, preventing internal moisture buildup and keeping out contaminants like dust.
* Designed for comfort and extended observation sessions.
