Baader Planetarium Classic Q Orthoscopic Eyepiece

The Q-Turret allows you to mount four eyepieces at once and rotate between them instantly. This eliminates the need to manually swap eyepieces in the dark, keeping your viewing session fluid and uninterrupted.

The Classic Ortho eyepieces feature a volcano-top design that helps with eye placement, but they have relatively short eye relief compared to modern wide-field designs. If you wear glasses, you may find it more comfortable to observe without them or use a diopter adjustment if your telescope allows.

The Barlow lens effectively doubles the magnification of each eyepiece in the set. For example, the 6mm eyepiece becomes a 2.66mm, and the 18mm becomes an 8mm, giving you a much wider range of magnification options without needing to buy additional eyepieces.

Orthoscopic eyepieces are renowned for their high contrast and sharpness, making them excellent for planetary and lunar observation. They excel at resolving fine details on Jupiter, Saturn, and the Moon's surface.

This set is designed for standard 1.25-inch focusers, which are the most common size for amateur telescopes. As long as your telescope accepts 1.25-inch accessories, these will fit perfectly.

Blackening the edges of the lens elements reduces internal light scattering and reflections. This is a critical feature for maintaining high contrast, ensuring that the image remains crisp and free of stray light artifacts.
