The Explore Scientific 72° ED Series 6.5mm Waterproof Eyepiece is an H-FK61 extra-low dispersion glass eyepiece with a 72° apparent field of view, waterproof argon-purged construction, and long eye relief.

The H-FK61 ED glass sharply reduces chromatic aberration compared to standard eyepiece designs, producing cleaner star points and higher contrast across the field. The 72° apparent field of view is wide enough to create a panoramic, immersive viewing experience. Argon purging prevents internal fogging in humid conditions, and the waterproof housing means dew-soaked nights won't damage the optics.


Key Features
  • H-FK61 extra-low dispersion glass — reduced chromatic aberration for sharper, higher-contrast views
  • 72° apparent field of view — immersive wide-field viewing without tunnel vision
  • Waterproof and argon-purged — sealed against moisture, fog-proof in all conditions
  • Long eye relief — comfortable extended viewing for both eyeglass wearers and unaided observers
  • 1.25" barrel — standard format compatible with most telescope focusers
  • Multi-layer coatings on all air-to-glass surfaces for maximum light transmission

Ideal For

High magnification planetary and lunar detail. An excellent choice for observers who want a wide field, long eye relief, and the optical clarity that ED glass provides. Compatible with any telescope accepting 1.25" eyepieces.
