Celestron OMNI Plössl 32mm eyepiece 44° 1.25″
Looking for an eyepiece that will significantly outperform the standard accessories supplied with your telescope - without ruining your astronomy budget? The Celestron OMNI Plössl series is exactly what you have been looking for. These eyepieces are designed for astronomers who understand just how much impact eyepiece quality has on the overall observing experience, and who want to get the most out of their telescope.
Plössl design and optical performance
The eyepiece is built on the proven four-element symmetric Plössl design, one of the most popular and reliable constructions in astronomical optics. The 32mm focal length combined with a 44° apparent field of view makes it an ideal choice for wide-field observations - locating objects in the night sky, viewing larger extended targets such as open star clusters or large nebulae, and general orientation across the sky.
In combination with a telescope of, for example, 1000mm focal length, this eyepiece delivers approximately 31x magnification - an ideal range for large nebulae, star clusters, or watching the Moon drift across the field of view. The 32mm focal length is a classic finder eyepiece - the first eyepiece to reach for when scanning the sky, locating objects, and performing low-magnification overview observations.
Multi-coated optics and high contrast image
All optical elements are equipped with multi-layer anti-reflection coatings that maximise light transmission and significantly increase the contrast of the resulting image. The edges of the optical elements are blackened to eliminate stray light inside the eyepiece. The eyepiece barrel undergoes a two-stage anodising process that completely eliminates unwanted internal reflections. The result is a sharp, high-contrast and faithful image even when observing faint deep-sky objects.
Filter thread and universal compatibility
The inside of the eyepiece barrel features a standard thread for 1.25″ filters. This is especially useful when observing the Moon (neutral ND filter), planets (colour filters), or emission nebulae (narrowband filters). The standard 1.25″ barrel diameter ensures full compatibility with the vast majority of telescopes on the market.
Who is the Celestron OMNI series suitable for?
The OMNI series is an excellent choice for:
- Beginning astronomers who want to immediately experience the difference compared to basic kit eyepieces
- Experienced observers building a reliable collection of eyepieces with different focal lengths
- Anyone looking for a dependable all-purpose eyepiece that will serve well for many years
Celestron is one of the most respected names in astronomy, with decades of experience developing optics for observers at every level. The OMNI series represents the ideal balance between affordability and genuinely high-quality construction - eyepieces that are not a compromise, but a deliberate choice. Precise mechanical build quality, high-grade optical glass with multi-layer coatings, and thoughtful details such as the filter thread and anodized barrel all demonstrate that Celestron OMNI Plössl eyepieces are built with the real needs of astronomers in mind.
