Optical Design and Performance
The optical system of this eyepiece consists of 4 lenses arranged in 2 groups, which is typical for Plössl construction. Multi-coated optical elements minimize light reflections and increase transmission, resulting in brighter and more contrasted images. The apparent field of view of 50° provides comfortable observation with sufficient space for tracking objects without frequent telescope readjustment.

The eyepiece features standard 1.25″ barrel connection, making it compatible with most modern telescopes. The metal body ensures long lifespan and resistance to mechanical damage. Weight of 65 grams indicates solid construction without unnecessarily loading the telescope's focuser. The fold-down eyecup allows comfortable observation for both eyeglass wearers and those without glasses.
Advanced Features
The presence of filter threads expands the eyepiece's usage possibilities - you can attach color filters to improve contrast when observing planets or the moon. This functionality makes this eyepiece a universal tool for various types of astronomical observations. The adjustable eyecup can be easily folded as needed, ensuring optimal eye relief.
