Omegon 2″ 45° Amici prism (erecting)
If you have ever tried to observe a landscape through an astronomical telescope, you know how inconvenient it is to work with an inverted or mirror-reversed image. The Omegon 2″ 45° Amici prism from the Pro series is an elegant and reliable solution to exactly this problem. Thanks to the special Amici prism design, you get a correctly oriented image suitable for terrestrial observation as well as comfortable sky watching - without the need to mentally "flip" what you see in the eyepiece.
Optical performance
At the heart of this prism is a precision optical system with full multi-coating (fully multi-coated) on all optical surfaces. This ensures maximum light transmission, minimal scatter and excellent contrast - qualities that demanding observers expect from premium optics. The prism simultaneously corrects both vertical and horizontal image reversal, so the resulting image matches the true orientation of the observed object. The 45° viewing angle offers a comfortable compromise between observing comfort and ergonomics when working with a telescope in various positions.
Build quality and design
The prism body is made from high-quality aluminium and gives a solid, premium impression. The weight of 490 g provides stable handling without unnecessarily overloading focusers. The overall dimensions of 13.5 x 7.5 x 10 cm place it among compact yet fully capable accessories for 2″ systems. The telescope connection uses a standard 2″ barrel, so the prism fits the vast majority of modern focusers. A ring clamp is also included, ensuring secure and reliable eyepiece retention without the risk of it falling out or shifting during observation.
Who is this prism for?
The Omegon 2″ 45° Amici prism is especially appreciated by those who use their telescope not only for astronomy, but also for observing nature, landscapes or distant objects during the day. It is equally well suited for astronomers who want to work more comfortably at low elevations above the horizon or during solar observations. The Omegon Pro series is designed for users who do not want to compromise on optical or mechanical quality - and this prism fully lives up to that philosophy. An Amici prism with a 2″ connection and full multi-coating is an investment that pays off for anyone who takes observation seriously.
