Elevate your stargazing experience with the Explore Scientific 62° Series 1.25" 26mm Waterproof Eyepiece, designed to offer exceptional optical clarity and durability for serious astronomers. With its 26mm focal length, this eyepiece is ideal for providing a broad overview of deep-space objects such as the Andromeda Galaxy, sprawling star clusters, and nebulae like the Lagoon or Orion. The 62° field of view ensures that you can capture these vast celestial wonders without needing to constantly adjust your telescope, making every session more immersive and enjoyable.

One of the standout features of this eyepiece is its argon-filled, waterproof, and fog-proof design, which keeps your view clear even in challenging weather. Whether you're observing on a humid summer night or in freezing winter conditions, the sealed construction prevents internal fogging and protects against water ingress. This makes the eyepiece a perfect choice for astronomers who frequently set up in remote or unpredictable environments and need reliable performance in any situation.

For eyeglass wearers, the 19.3mm eye relief offers unparalleled comfort, allowing you to take in the entire field of view without having to remove your glasses. This extended eye relief also reduces eye strain during long sessions of stargazing, making it easier to track objects for extended periods without fatigue. You can comfortably explore the intricate details of the Moon’s surface or faint deep-sky objects like the Whirlpool Galaxy without sacrificing clarity or comfort.

The fully multi-coated optics enhance light transmission, ensuring that even the faintest celestial bodies are visible in crisp detail. With coatings that minimize reflections and maximize contrast, you’ll notice a dramatic improvement in image sharpness and brightness, even when observing faint objects like the Ring Nebula or distant galaxies that are often hard to detect with standard eyepieces.

Another key advantage is its near-parfocal design, allowing you to switch between eyepieces in the series with minimal need for refocusing. This means you can seamlessly switch between different magnifications, whether you're zooming in on Saturn’s rings or scanning a wide field of stars, without losing time on adjustments. It’s an indispensable feature for astronomers who want to maximize their observation time without the constant hassle of refocusing.

With a slip-resistant, textured surface, handling this eyepiece is easy even in cold, damp conditions where grip can be an issue. Combined with its robust construction and compact 323.47g (8.2 oz) weight, this eyepiece is built for both portability and durability, ensuring it withstands years of use in the field.

If you're looking for an eyepiece that combines exceptional optical quality, rugged durability, and all-day comfort, the Explore Scientific 62° Series 1.25" 26mm Eyepiece is your perfect match. It's not just a tool—it's your key to unlocking deeper, more vivid experiences of the universe, no matter where your stargazing adventures take you.
