The optical quality of this eyepiece sets it apart from the rest.

If crisp, bright images are what you’re after, this eyepiece is your answer.

Built for real-world astronomy, this eyepiece thrives in any environment. It’s argon-purged and sealed to be fully waterproof and fogproof, meaning humidity, rain, or temperature changes won’t compromise your view.

The slip-resistant, textured surface ensures a secure grip, even when you’re handling it in the dark or wearing gloves, making it perfect for outdoor use in all seasons.

Comfort is key for extended viewing sessions, and this eyepiece delivers. With 20.02mm of eye relief, it offers a generous distance from your eye to the lens, making it ideal for both eyeglass wearers and non-wearers. The fold-down eyecup allows for easy customization, ensuring maximum comfort whether you're casually observing or locked in for a long, deep-sky session. No more eye strain—just hours of comfortable stargazing with a clear, expansive view of the universe.
