Explore Scientific 72° ED Series 6.5mm Waterproof Eyepiece

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.
