Explore Scientific 82° Series 1.25" 14mm Waterproof Eyepiece

The 82° Series 14mm delivers mid-range magnification through an ultra-wide 82° field, excelling on deep-sky objects that benefit from both magnification and a generous view — globular clusters, planetary nebulae, and smaller galaxies fill the eyepiece beautifully. The 7-element lanthanum glass design is sharp across the field, and at $139 with waterproof construction, it competes with eyepieces at three times the price.

Key Features

• 82° apparent field of view — expansive framing that shows deep-sky objects in their full context within the surrounding star field
• 7-element lanthanum glass optics — precision glass types deliver sharp, well-corrected images to the edge of the wide field
• Argon-purged waterproof housing — sealed and fog-proof for dependable performance in all conditions
• Enhanced Multi-Layer Deposition (EMD) coatings on all air-to-glass surfaces with edge-blackened elements
• Fold-down silicone rubber eyecup for comfortable extended viewing
• 1.25" barrel compatible with standard focusers on all common telescope types

Ideal For

• Deep-sky observers who want enough magnification to reveal structure in globular clusters, planetary nebulae, and galaxy detail within an ultra-wide field
• Versatile mid-power use — handles planets, the Moon, and deep-sky objects equally well, making it a strong all-around choice
• Observers building an 82° collection — the 14mm pairs naturally with a short-focal-length 82° for comprehensive sky coverage
