Explore Scientific 82° Series LER Eyepiece

The 82-degree apparent field of view creates an immersive, wide-angle perspective that makes objects feel less like you are looking through a tube and more like you are floating in space. It is particularly effective for observing large deep-sky objects or scanning star fields.

Yes, the 16.8mm of eye relief is designed specifically for comfort, allowing you to see the full field of view without pressing your eye directly against the lens. While individual fit varies, this amount of relief is generally sufficient for most eyeglass wearers to observe comfortably.

This eyepiece uses a standard 1.25-inch barrel diameter, making it compatible with the vast majority of modern telescope focusers. If your telescope accepts 1.25-inch accessories, this will fit.

It means the internal optics are protected from moisture, dust, and fungus. Because the eyepiece is waterproof and sealed, you can use it in humid or dewy conditions without worrying about fogging or internal contamination that could degrade your image quality over time.

A 6.5mm focal length provides relatively high magnification, which is ideal for zooming in on planetary details, lunar craters, or tight double stars. It is a specialized tool for detailed observation rather than wide-field scanning.

Edge-blackening the glass elements reduces internal reflections and stray light scattering within the eyepiece. This results in higher contrast and a darker background, which helps faint celestial objects stand out more clearly against the night sky.
