Explore Scientific 62° 26mm Waterproof Telescope Eyepiece

The Explore Scientific 62° Series eyepieces are excellent flat-field multi-element oculars that can transform your visual astronomy experience. With an apparent field of view of 62 degrees and near parfocal design, these eyepieces offer incredible value in a very nice eyepiece. One of the great benefits of these eyepieces is the excellent contrast and ease with which you can gaze, not directly at an object, but slightly to either side. This skill, called using averted vision, is especially helpful when observing faint objects, as it puts the image on a more light-sensitive part of your eye, allowing you to see fainter images.

The Explore Scientific 62° Series eyepieces are part of a wide range of eyepiece offerings, including the 52°, 68°, 82°, 92°, and 100° field of view families. These eyepieces are designed, manufactured, marketed, and distributed by Explore Scientific, an optics company based in Springdale, Arkansas, with a mission to provide enthusiasts of all skill levels the tools and guidance they need to explore the skies above and the world around.

The 62° Series eyepieces are available in focal lengths ranging from 5.5mm to 40mm, with each size offering a unique combination of features and benefits. All of these eyepieces are argon-purged and waterproof, and feature fully multi-coated optics for enhanced contrast and light transmission.

To determine the magnification provided by a particular eyepiece, you need to divide your telescope's focal length (in millimeters) by the focal length of the eyepiece (also in millimeters). This will give you the magnification factor, which can be used to plan your observing sessions and tailor the experience to your specific needs and preferences.

Whether you're a seasoned amateur astronomer or just starting out in the hobby, the Explore Scientific 62° Series eyepieces offer a high-quality, versatile, and affordable solution for enhancing your visual astronomy experience. With their exceptional optical performance, robust construction, and innovative design features, these eyepieces are a valuable addition to any observing kit.
