Omegon Cronus WA 7mm 60° 1.25″ Eyepiece
Many entry-level telescopes come with basic eyepieces that do not do justice to the optics. The Cronus series from Omegon addresses this directly. It offers comfortable viewing, a wide field of view, and practical design features that make observing easier - without any compromise on image quality.
Generous eye relief for relaxed viewing
The Omegon Cronus WA 7mm eyepiece provides 16mm of eye relief, which is unusual for a standard eyepiece design. Your eye does not need to press tightly against the eyepiece, so observing feels relaxed and natural. The eyepiece is fully suitable for eyeglass wearers - the eyecup folds down to accommodate spectacles.
A 60° field of view that makes a real difference
A 60° field of view is not just a number on a specification sheet. In practice, it gives you up to a third more sky compared to a standard Kellner-type eyepiece. Large objects such as open clusters, extended nebulae, or sprawling galaxies fit comfortably within the view. There is no need to constantly shift your eye to follow the scene. Observing feels more natural and far less tiring.
Stays sharp even when your eye is off-centre
With many eyepieces, moving your eye even slightly away from the centre of the field causes dark shadows to appear and disturb the image. The Cronus is designed to minimise this effect. For beginners who are still developing their observing technique, this means one less thing to worry about. The view stays clean even when your eye is not perfectly centred.
What can you observe with this eyepiece?
The Great Red Spot on Jupiter - a storm system as wide as two Earth diameters and active for at least 300 years - is a rewarding target with this eyepiece. Saturn and its ring system is an unforgettable first experience for most observers. Beyond the solar system, the eyepiece handles globular clusters, hydrogen nebulae, and distant galaxies with ease. Good contrast and sharp, clear images are consistent features across the entire Cronus range.
Build a complete eyepiece set from one series
The Cronus range is available in eight different focal lengths, with closely spaced steps at the shorter end. This makes it straightforward to build a complete eyepiece set from a single series - with consistent image behaviour and identical ergonomics throughout the collection.
A practical upgrade over standard accessories
The Omegon Cronus WA 7mm 1.25″ eyepiece is a sensible choice for anyone who wants to get more from their telescope than standard accessories allow - with no compromise on comfort or image quality.
