DeltaOptical Plossl 20mm 52° 1.25″ eyepiece
The DeltaOptical Plossl 20mm is a versatile optical accessory designed for visual observation of astronomical objects. Thanks to the classic Plossl design, it is fully compatible with any telescope featuring a standard 1.25″ eyepiece barrel and suits both beginners and experienced observers alike. The 52° field of view provides a comfortable overview when observing planets, the Moon, star clusters, and nebulae.
Optics and image quality
Multi-layer anti-reflection coating on all optical surfaces significantly reduces unwanted light reflections, increases light transmission, and delivers a sharp, bright, and high-contrast image with minimal aberrations. The Plossl optical system is built from two symmetrical doublets, which ensures excellent correction of chromatic and spherical aberrations across the entire field of view. The result is an accurate and detailed rendering of astronomical objects free from disturbing optical artifacts.
Focal length and application
The 20mm focal length makes this eyepiece ideal for medium magnification, which is perfect for observing extended deep-sky objects such as open star clusters or large nebulae, as well as for general views of the Moon and planets. The eyepiece fits directly into a standard 1.25″ focuser without any adapters. The built-in eye guard makes comfortable observation easy even when wearing glasses.
Reliability and value
DeltaOptical Plossl series eyepieces are designed as reliable and affordable accessories that meet the demands of optical quality and mechanical durability for everyday use both in the field and indoors.
