TS Optics High End Planetary HR 6mm eyepiece - 58° field of view, 1.25″ barrel
Are you looking for an eyepiece that can handle both detailed planetary observation and deep sky viewing - without spending a fortune on professional equipment? The Planetary HR series from Teleskop-Service is exactly the answer. This 6mm eyepiece with a 58° field of view and a standard 1.25″ barrel offers one of the best performance-to-price ratios available on the market today, with no compromise on optical quality.
Exceptional optical quality
At the heart of this eyepiece is a carefully designed optical system featuring FMC (fully multi-coated) anti-reflection coating. This coating minimises unwanted reflections, maximises light transmission and delivers outstanding contrast - exactly what you need when observing fine atmospheric details on Jupiter, the rings of Saturn or craters on the Moon.
Clarity and contrast are excellent at the optical centre, and the edges of the 58° field of view also perform very well. For planetary observers this is a key feature: the image stays sharp and true from the centre all the way to the edge.
High magnification with clean, sharp images
The 6mm focal length makes this eyepiece ideal for high magnification work, where the true character of the optics really shows. Thanks to the precisely manufactured lenses with no visible chromatic aberration, you get a clean, bright image even in demanding observing conditions.
The anti-reflection coatings also work very well when searching for compact deep sky objects - nebulae, galaxies and globular clusters - where every photon counts.
Comfortable observing for long sessions
Eye lens diameter of 16mm and eye cup diameter of 20mm make this eyepiece a comfortable companion for long observing evenings. Observers who wear glasses will appreciate the generous eye relief, which allows you to see the full field of view without removing your correction. The rubber fold-down eye cup provides precise eye placement and comfortable support during any length of session.
Eye fatigue is minimal - which becomes especially noticeable during hours spent watching the surface of Mars or transits of Jupiter's moons.
Suitable for projection photography
The Planetary HR 6mm is also well suited for afocal photography - a method where you place a digital SLR or compact camera directly at the eyepiece to capture the image you see with your eye. This technique is a popular and accessible way to take your first planetary photographs. Thanks to its optical quality and mechanical stability, the Planetary HR handles this role without any problems.
