Omegon Plössl 12.5mm 50° 1.25″ Eyepiece
The Plössl design is a proven classic in amateur astronomy. Four lenses, a straightforward optical system, and a bright, high-contrast image - these are the reasons this design has worked for decades. Omegon Plössl eyepieces offer noticeably better quality than the eyepieces typically bundled with a telescope, while remaining affordable for every observer.
A wider field of view makes a real difference
A wider field of view is not just a number in a table. In practice, it means you can see globular clusters, nebulae, or planetary objects in their entirety - without constantly nudging the telescope from side to side. The 50° field of view lets you focus on the observation itself, not on keeping the object in frame.
Works well with fast telescopes
Plössl eyepieces produce well-defined edges across the field of view, even when used with f/5 telescopes. The lower the f-number, the faster and brighter the telescope - and f/5 instruments are among the most demanding when it comes to eyepiece quality. These eyepieces handle such telescopes without any trouble.
Comfortable for extended observing sessions
The soft rubber eyecups are not just an accessory. During longer sessions, they genuinely block stray light from the surroundings and improve image contrast. Observing becomes more comfortable and less tiring - especially for eyeglass wearers.
Part of a complete eyepiece range
Omegon Plössl eyepieces are available in a full range of focal lengths. This means you can build a set of eyepieces with sensibly spaced magnifications - from a wide overview down to detailed planetary views. Every eyepiece in the range maintains the same optical quality, so switching between magnifications produces no unpleasant differences in the image.
A better eyepiece brings out the best in your telescope
The quality of your eyepiece directly affects the overall performance of your telescope. A better eyepiece does not just mean a sharper image - it means your telescope finally performs as it was designed to. The Omegon Plössl 12.5mm is a sensible choice for anyone who wants to get the most from their instrument without unnecessary compromise.
