Omegon Oberon 10mm 82° 1.25″ Eyepiece
Premium Wide-Angle Eyepiece for Enhanced Astronomical Observation
The Omegon Oberon 10mm eyepiece represents an excellent choice for astronomers seeking a combination of superior optical quality and wide field of view. This wide-angle eyepiece with an 82° field of view offers an impressive panoramic view of the night sky, appreciated by both beginners and experienced observers. The 10mm focal length makes it ideal for observing planetary details, double stars, and fine structures of deep space objects.
Advanced Optical Design and Construction
The Oberon series from Omegon is designed with emphasis on maximum observation comfort. The eyepiece utilizes advanced optical construction with multi-coating on all optical surfaces, ensuring excellent light transmission and minimizing unwanted reflections. This technology significantly increases contrast and sharpness of the observed image, which is particularly important when observing faint objects.

Universal Compatibility and Practical Design
The eyepiece features a standard 1.25″ barrel, ensuring compatibility with most modern telescopes. Its compact dimensions - 50mm diameter and 101mm height - along with a weight of 248g make this eyepiece a practical tool for field observation. The robust construction withstands demanding conditions and long-term use.
Comfort Features for Extended Viewing
Special attention deserves the foldable eyecup, which allows comfortable observation both with and without glasses. This feature is particularly useful for observers who wear glasses, as it allows achieving the proper eye distance from the eyepiece for full utilization of the field of view. Protective nitrogen filling protects the internal optics from moisture and fogging.
Exceptional Field of View Performance
The 82° field of view provides a wide-angle view that dramatically improves the observation experience. For planets, it allows observing not only the object itself but also its surroundings, making it easier to track their movement and compare with reference stars. When observing deep space, larger objects fit entirely within the field of view, which is particularly advantageous for extensive nebulae or star clusters.
Thanks to the quality optical design, the image remains sharp all the way to the edge of the field of view, which is often problematic with wide-angle eyepieces. The Omegon Oberon 10mm maintains excellent sharpness across the entire field, allowing full utilization of the wide field of view potential without compromising image quality.
Versatile Applications
This 10mm eyepiece is a universal tool suitable for a wide spectrum of observations. With refractors and Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes having focal lengths around 1000mm, it provides 100x magnification, ideal for observing planetary details. With faster systems, it offers lower magnification suitable for observing extensive deep-sky objects.
Enhanced Functionality
The manufacturer has paid attention to practical details - the eyepiece is equipped with filter threads, allowing the use of various types of filters to improve contrast or suppress light pollution. This feature significantly expands the eyepiece's application possibilities in various observation conditions.
Perfect for Various Observation Targets
- Planetary observation - Jupiter's bands, Saturn's rings, Mars surface features
- Lunar exploration - detailed crater examination
- Double star separation
- Star clusters and nebulae
- Galaxies and deep-sky objects
