Omegon Super LE 18mm 68° 1,25″ Eyepiece
The Omegon Super LE eyepiece range offers sharp, high-contrast views and a wide field of view at a price that stays well below premium territory - yet the image quality competes with more expensive models. The 8-element optical design resolves fine detail in Jupiter's cloud bands and picks up subtle tonal differences during planetary observation. FMC anti-reflection coatings cover every lens, keeping images bright even at higher magnifications. Blackened lens edges further suppress internal reflections and stray light.
Wide 68° field of view
The 68° apparent field of view opens up a panoramic view that lets your eyes stay almost completely still. The narrow tunnel of older eyepieces gives way to a broad scene - star clusters, nebulae, and wide star fields are easy to follow without constantly re-aiming the telescope. The Super LE range is available in the following focal lengths: 3.5 / 5 / 7 / 9 / 12 / 14.5 / 18 mm, so there is a suitable eyepiece for every magnification you need.
Comfortable for glasses wearers
The generous 20 mm eye relief, combined with soft rubber eyecups, makes observation comfortable even if you wear glasses - no need to take them off. The eyepiece also suppresses the kidney bean effect, which is the dark shadow that can appear when your eye drifts towards the edge of the field. The image stays full and clear even when viewing from the side.
Durable, weather-resistant build
The body is machined from black anodised aluminium, with rubber grip rings at key points for a secure hold even with gloves on. The eyepiece is waterproof and humidity-resistant, so it performs reliably in poor weather conditions.
