Artesky Super ED 8mm 60° 1.25″ Eyepiece
Many eyepieces suffer from blurring and distortion towards the edges of the field of view. The Super ED series solves this problem with an ED glass element - the same principle used in apochromatic refractors. The result is an image with high colour purity and minimal distortion across the entire field of view, from the centre right to the very edges.
Wide 60° field of view
The 60° apparent field of view is noticeably wider than a standard Plössl offers. In practice, this means observing does not feel like looking through a narrow tube. Your eye can move freely across the scene, and you will find yourself much less fatigued during longer sessions. Extended time at the eyepiece becomes more comfortable and more natural.
Six multi-coated lenses
The Artesky Super ED 8mm 1.25″ eyepiece contains six lenses. Every air-to-glass surface carries a multi-layer anti-reflection coating. This reduces unwanted reflections and increases light transmission - a benefit you will notice most when observing faint objects. The adjustable eye guard extends by rotating, making the eyepiece comfortable to use both with and without glasses.

Who is this eyepiece for?
The Artesky Super ED 8mm suits both beginners who want a comfortable, high-quality view from their first telescope and experienced observers who demand sharp, colour-accurate images across the full field. The 8 mm focal length is a versatile choice for planetary detail, the Moon, and bright deep-sky objects such as the Pleiades or the Andromeda Galaxy.
