Omegon Super Plössl 56mm 52° 2″ Eyepiece
The Super Plössl series is a trusted classic. Generations of amateur astronomers have relied on these eyepieces night after night. The all-lens optical design delivers a bright, crisp image - without unnecessary complexity and without a high price tag. These eyepieces are built for observers who want something that genuinely works, not just a basic accessory bundled with a telescope.
A wider view of the sky
The Super Plössl eyepiece offers a 52° field of view - noticeably wider than standard Kellner or classic Plössl eyepieces. When you observe star clusters or large nebulae, you get the feeling of looking through a real window, not a narrow slot. More space in the eyepiece also makes it easier to find your bearings in the sky and to follow moving objects.
Optical quality that makes a difference
The quality of an eyepiece decides whether you catch the faint spiral arms of galaxy M51 or whether a planet at the limit of your telescope's power simply blends into the background. Blackened lens edges prevent unwanted internal reflections - light travels exactly where it should, straight to your eye. Anti-reflection coatings keep contrast high even when observing bright objects, where cheaper eyepieces often struggle. Rubber fold-down eyecups add further protection against stray ambient light.
Nine focal lengths - all parfocal
The Super Plössl range is available in nine focal lengths, from 4mm to 40mm. All of them are parfocal, which means you do not need to refocus your telescope when switching between focal lengths. This is especially useful when you quickly change magnification during planetary or double-star sessions.
The 56mm eyepiece - your wide-field companion
The Super Plössl is one of the most affordable eyepieces that truly delivers - and this 56mm version is an ideal choice for sweeping star clusters, nebulae and the broad star fields of the Milky Way. If you want a low-magnification, wide-field eyepiece that performs well above its price, this is a straightforward choice.
