Bresser Plössl PL 30mm 50° 1.25″ eyepiece
The Bresser Plössl PL 30mm eyepiece is an excellent choice for astronomers looking for reliable, time-tested optics at a reasonable price. With a 30mm focal length and a 50° apparent field of view, it delivers a pleasantly wide view of the night sky - perfect for sweeping star clusters, nebulae and large sections of the Milky Way. The metal body ensures durability and a long service life, while the total weight of just 105 g makes it a comfortably lightweight accessory for any telescope tube.
Classic Plössl design
The classic Plössl optical design uses four lenses arranged in two groups. This well-proven configuration provides good correction of aberrations, a comfortable exit pupil and sufficient eye relief, making the eyepiece easy to use with glasses or during extended observing sessions without unnecessary eye strain. Multi-coating on all optical surfaces minimises unwanted reflections, increases light transmission and contributes to a high-contrast, sharp image - something you will particularly appreciate when observing planets or faint deep-sky objects.

Who is this eyepiece for?
The Bresser Plössl PL 30mm 1.25″ eyepiece is an ideal choice for both beginners building their first eyepiece collection and more experienced observers looking for a reliable wide-field eyepiece with a longer focal length. You will find it invaluable when initially locating objects, when sweeping along the Milky Way, or when observing large targets such as open star clusters or extended nebulae. Thanks to its metal body, multi-coated optics and fold-down eyecup, this eyepiece offers significantly better specification than is typical for entry-level models in this price range.
