TS Optics WA 32mm 70° 2″ Eyepiece
Overview
The TS Optics WA 32mm eyepiece represents the perfect balance between simple Plössl eyepieces and extremely wide-angle eyepieces for astronomical observation. With a 32mm focal length and 70° field of view, it provides excellent wide-angle effect while maintaining high image sharpness. This eyepiece is an ideal choice for deep-sky observation, combining maximum image brightness with comfortable viewing experience.
Advanced Optical Design
The eyepiece construction is based on classic ERFLE eyepieces but has been further developed to achieve superior results. The 5-element design without built-in Barlow lens ensures cleaner images with higher contrast and reduced distortion. All lenses are fully multi-coated with blackened edges to minimize reflections and maximize contrast. The eyepiece comes with dust-proof caps and cleaning cloth.
Compact and Lightweight Construction
The compact and lightweight construction of this eyepiece, weighing only 363 grams, makes it suitable for all 2″ focusers. It won't disturb the balance even on Dobsonian telescopes and doesn't create excessive load on smaller telescope focusers. The foldable rubber eyecup allows comfortable observation for both eyeglass wearers and non-eyeglass users. The modern focusing position ensures trouble-free focusing with any telescope.
Universal Application
This eyepiece is a universal solution for all observation areas. Shorter focal lengths from the TSWA series are excellent planetary eyepieces, while longer ones, like this 32mm model, excel in deep-sky observation. Good contrast and wide-angle effect make TSWA recommended eyepieces for nebula observation, where fine nebula structures become visible against the dark sky background.
Key Advantages
A significant advantage of TSWA eyepieces is the absence of a built-in Barlow lens, which many wide-angle eyepieces use to artificially create short focal lengths. This solution brings several benefits:
- Fewer elements mean brighter images and higher contrast
- Very stable image suitable for binocular observation
- Significantly reduced distortion
- Ability to combine with external Barlow lens similar to Plössl or orthoscopic eyepieces
