Explore Scientific 82 Degree Series Eyepiece

An 82-degree apparent field of view creates an immersive, 'spacewalk' effect where the edges of the eyepiece seem to disappear. This wide perspective is excellent for scanning large star clusters or nebulae without constantly nudging your telescope to keep the object centered.

This eyepiece features a standard 1.25-inch barrel diameter, which makes it compatible with almost all modern telescopes that accept 1.25-inch accessories. Just ensure your focuser is designed for this size before purchasing.

Argon purging removes oxygen and moisture from inside the eyepiece, which prevents internal fogging when temperatures drop during a night of observation. It also protects the internal optical coatings from corrosion, significantly extending the lifespan of the lens.

The 14mm focal length strikes a versatile balance, offering enough magnification to resolve detail in galaxies and nebulae while maintaining a wide enough view to frame them properly. It is a 'sweet spot' focal length that many observers keep in their primary rotation.

Fully multi-coated optics reduce light reflection and scattering, which ensures that more light reaches your eye. This results in brighter, higher-contrast images, which is essential when trying to spot faint, subtle details in deep-sky objects.

Yes, the optical design is specifically optimized to support averted vision. By maintaining high contrast and clarity across the wide field, it makes it easier to detect the faint, elusive structures in nebulae that often appear only when you look slightly to the side of the object.
