TS Optics Super Plössl 6mm 52° 1.25″ eyepiece
If you are looking for a reliable short focal length eyepiece for detailed observation of planets and the Moon, the TS Optics Super Plössl 6mm eyepiece is a choice that will not just meet your expectations - it will exceed them. Teleskop-Service developed this updated Super Plössl series to preserve the proven classic Plössl design while taking it to a higher level through carefully crafted optics and quality surface coatings. The result is an eyepiece that offers an excellent price-to-performance ratio and has been popular with astronomers around the world for decades.
Fully multi-coated optics for clear and sharp images
At the heart of every Super Plössl is precisely ground optics with a full FMC (Fully Multi-Coated) anti-reflection coating on all air-to-glass surfaces. This gives the eyepiece excellent light transmission, minimizes unwanted reflections, and delivers a sharp, high-contrast image with accurate color rendering - qualities that are absolutely essential when observing planets or the Moon.
The 52° field of view is standard for the Plössl design and provides a comfortable overview without unnecessary distortion at the edges. The 6mm focal length allows high magnification, making this eyepiece an ideal tool for detailed work on bright objects in the solar system.
Design details that improve your viewing experience
Blackened lens edges
Quality blackening of the lens edges is another important design feature - it suppresses unwanted light scatter inside the optical system and significantly improves image contrast. You will especially appreciate this when looking at a full Moon or observing bright planetary discs.
Foldable rubber eyecup
The foldable rubber eyecup ensures comfortable eye placement and effectively blocks stray light from the sides, which would otherwise reduce the quality of observation. The TS Optics Super Plössl 6mm is equally suitable for nighttime observation under open skies and for use with a telescope in light-polluted conditions.
Who is this eyepiece for?
The Super Plössl 6mm is an excellent choice for:
- Beginning astronomers building their first set of eyepieces
- Experienced observers looking for a reliable short focal length eyepiece at a reasonable price
- Anyone who wants to observe planetary details and the Moon without spending too much
It works with refractors, Newtonians, and catadioptric telescopes. Compatibility with the universal 1.25″ standard means you can connect it to virtually any telescope. The classic Plössl design provides an acceptable exit pupil for the eye even at short focal lengths, so observation remains comfortable even during longer viewing sessions.
