Exploring Ultra-Wide Eyepieces: Comfort, Quality, and Value
Explore Scientific's 82° Series eyepieces offer an immersive 82° apparent field of view, providing a comfortable and relaxing viewing experience. By allowing your eyes to relax and take in the full scene, you can observe for longer periods and uncover details that may initially go unnoticed. The ultra-wide field also makes it easier to use averted vision, a technique that is particularly helpful when observing faint objects, as it utilizes the more light-sensitive areas of your eyes.
The 4.7mm 82° Series Argon-Purged Waterproof Eyepiece is designed for high-magnification observations, such as planetary and double star viewing, as well as detailed examinations of deep-sky objects. While it may not be used every night, under near-perfect conditions, this eyepiece can reveal stunning planetary details that will be etched in your memory.
The 6.7mm 82° Series Waterproof Eyepiece is a versatile option, offering excellent planetary detail without requiring the perfect seeing conditions needed for higher magnifications. This eyepiece is often the go-to choice for observations with larger refractors, providing stunning views of objects like the Crab Nebula and the Dumbbell Nebula.
For objects that would benefit from higher magnifications but still require a broader field of view, the 8.8mm 82° Series Waterproof Eyepiece is an exceptional choice. It delivers incredible performance on larger refractors, allowing you to immerse yourself in the details of globular clusters and emission nebulae. On smaller scopes, this eyepiece will delight you with a full view of the Double Cluster in Perseus.
The 11mm, 14mm, 18mm, and 24mm 82° Series Waterproof Eyepieces are popular focal lengths in the upper-medium power magnification class, providing both super-wide apparent fields and generous eye relief. These versatile eyepieces are perfect for a wide range of observations, from globular star clusters and planetary nebulae to the bright cloud structure near comets' nuclei and initial observations of the planets. They can also be used with Focal Extenders to achieve 2X, 3X, or 5X magnification increases while maintaining the eyepiece's native apparent field and eye relief.
The 4.5mm, 6.5mm, and 8.5mm 82° Series LER (Long Eye Relief) Waterproof Eyepieces offer particularly long eye relief, making them ideal for eyeglass wearers who can still enjoy the full field of view. These high-magnification eyepieces are excellent for observing the Moon, planets, and binary stars, and can reveal stunning planetary details and deep-sky structures when atmospheric conditions are nearly perfect.
Explore Scientific's commitment to providing enthusiasts with the tools and guidance they need to explore the skies is evident in their comprehensive lineup of ultra-wide eyepieces. Whether you're a seasoned observer or just starting your journey, these eyepieces offer comfort, quality, and value, allowing you to immerse yourself in the wonders of the cosmos.
Remember, excellent seeing conditions are essential for higher magnification observations, and a lower magnification eyepiece should be considered when conditions are less than ideal. With Explore Scientific's 82° Series eyepieces, you can enjoy a truly remarkable viewing experience, no matter your skill level or the conditions you face.
