Omegon Super Plössl 26mm 52° 1.25″ Eyepiece
The Super Plössl design is a proven classic - one that generations of amateur astronomers have grown up with. It uses only lenses, with no complex hybrid constructions, yet delivers a bright, sharp image. These eyepieces are for observers who want real quality without paying for top-of-the-range models.
A noticeably better view than your stock eyepiece
The Omegon Super Plössl eyepiece outperforms the eyepieces that typically come bundled with a new telescope. The 52-degree field of view is significantly wider than that of a Kellner or standard Plössl eyepiece - looking through it feels like a large window rather than a narrow tunnel. In practice, this gives you more room to follow moving objects and makes it easier to navigate the sky.
Coatings that make a real difference
Anti-reflection coatings and blackened lens edges direct light straight to your eye, with no unwanted reflections or scatter. This matters most in those critical moments when you are searching for the faint spiral arms of galaxy M51, or pushing your telescope to its limits on a distant planet. Rubber roll-down eyecups also block stray light during observation sessions.
A complete range - all parfocal
The Super Plössl range covers focal lengths from 4 mm to 40 mm across nine sizes. All models are parfocal, which means you do not need to refocus when switching between magnifications - the image stays sharp. The standard 1.25″ barrel ensures compatibility with the vast majority of telescopes available today.

Who is this eyepiece for?
The Omegon Super Plössl 26mm is an excellent choice for beginners who want a clear upgrade over a basic stock eyepiece, as well as for experienced observers who appreciate a reliable wide-field eyepiece at a sensible price. It works well for:
- Deep-sky objects such as the Andromeda Galaxy, the Pleiades and open clusters
- General sky navigation and orientation
- Low-to-medium magnification views on any telescope with a 1.25″ focuser
- Observers who switch eyepieces frequently and value the parfocal advantage
Why choose Super Plössl?
The lens-only construction keeps the optical path simple and efficient. Fewer optical elements mean less light loss and a cleaner, more natural image. The wide 52-degree field of view sets this eyepiece apart from older Plössl and Kellner designs, and the anti-reflection coatings ensure you get the most from your telescope - especially under dark skies.
