Questions & Answers

Have a Question?

Ask a Question
  • Does it work well with a 6 in telescope?

    The Explore Scientific 82° Series 11mm Eyepiece is compatible with most 6-inch telescopes, as they typically use a standard 1.25" focuser. If your telescope has a dual-size (1.25"/2") focuser, it will also work seamlessly. This eyepiece offers medium-to-high magnification, sharp views of planets, the Moon, and deep-sky objects, and a wide 82° field of view for immersive stargazing. Its fully multi-coated optics and long eye relief ensure bright, comfortable viewing.
