Bresser Plössl PL 6.5mm 50° 1.25″ Eyepiece
Premium Plössl Design for Superior Planetary Viewing
The Bresser Plössl 6.5mm eyepiece represents an exceptional choice for astronomers of all experience levels. With its 6.5mm focal length and 50° field of view, it provides ideal magnification for observing planetary details and double stars. The standard 31.7mm (1.25″) diameter ensures compatibility with most telescopes on the market. This eyepiece delivers significantly higher image quality than basic Kellner or Huygens designs, making it a perfect upgrade for beginning astronomers.
Advanced Optical Construction and Coatings
The Plössl optical design consists of four optical elements arranged in two groups, ensuring excellent aberration correction and sharp images right to the edge of the field of view. Fully Multi-Coated (FMC) anti-reflective coatings significantly enhance light transmission and image contrast while minimizing unwanted reflections and light artifacts. This technology enables observation of faint objects with greater brightness and detail clarity.

Comfort and Durability Features
The fold-down rubber eyecup protects the eye from stray light and allows comfortable viewing even for eyeglass wearers. The chrome-plated metal barrel is not only aesthetically attractive but also resistant to wear and tear. Internal threading allows for the attachment of various filters for specialized observation, such as planetary or lunar filters. Weighing just 59 grams, the eyepiece is lightweight and won't create excessive load on the telescope tube.
Protective Storage Solution
The eyepiece comes with a practical plastic twist-up barrel that serves not only as protective housing during transport but also as convenient storage. This solution ensures long-term protection of the optics from dust and moisture, maintaining optimal performance over years of use.
Ideal Applications
- Planetary observation - excellent for viewing Jupiter's bands, Saturn's rings, and Mars surface features
