Explore Scientific LER 10mm 52° 1.25″ eyepiece
The Explore Scientific LER 10mm from the 52° series is a versatile flat-field eyepiece with exceptionally high image sharpness, which is especially noticeable when observing planets and the Moon. The 52° corrected field of view delivers a significantly better visual experience compared to a basic Plössl design - particularly at the edges of the field, where the image remains sharp and free from distracting distortion.
Optical performance and coatings
The patented EMD anti-reflection coating is applied to all optical surfaces, ensuring high contrast and effectively suppressing unwanted light reflections. As a result, fine details on planetary surfaces and the Moon stand out clearly even under challenging lighting conditions.
Argon fill and weatherproof construction
The interior of the eyepiece is filled with argon gas, which reliably prevents internal fogging and protects the optics from dust, mould and penetration by cleaning fluids. The eyepiece is fully waterproof, so it can be used safely in wet weather or in the dew-heavy conditions typical of night-time observing sessions.
Why choose the Explore Scientific 52° LER series
The Explore Scientific 52° LER series combines maximum observing comfort with an outstanding price-to-performance ratio. Thanks to robust construction and long-lasting optical durability, these eyepieces will retain their quality for many years and countless astronomical observing sessions.
