Explore Scientific 82° 30 mm Eyepiece Product description

  1. Ultra-Wide 82° AFOV: This eyepiece delivers an exceptionally wide 82° apparent field of view, placing the observer into an immersive, panoramic view of the night sky. It allows for more of the celestial sphere to be observed simultaneously, making it ideal for sweeping across rich star fields, large nebulae, and extended galaxies. The wide field maintains a comfortable viewing distance, minimizing the need for constant telescope repositioning.

  2. Advanced Optical Design: Featuring an intricate optical design with fully multi-coated lens elements, the Explore Scientific 82° 30 mm eyepiece ensures maximum light throughput, superior contrast, and outstanding color fidelity. The blackened lens edges and internal baffling further reduce internal reflections and scattered light, resulting in a remarkably sharp and clear image across the entire field without ghosting or flaring.

  3. Robust Construction: Engineered for durability and longevity, this eyepiece boasts a rugged, anodized aluminum body built to withstand the rigors of frequent use. Its robust construction ensures optical alignment is maintained over time, providing consistent performance. The sturdy barrel features a safety undercut to prevent accidental slippage from the focuser, enhancing user confidence during observation.

  4. Versatile Application: With its generous 30mm focal length and 82° AFOV, this eyepiece excels in many astronomical applications. It is particularly well-suited for deep-sky observation, allowing observers to take in large extended objects like the Andromeda Galaxy or the Veil Nebula. Its wide field also makes it excellent for general sky scanning and identifying constellations or star clusters, offering a truly captivating visual experience.
