TS Optics Super Plössl 12mm 52° 1.25″ Eyepiece
The Super Plössl series from Teleskop-Service is a modern take on the classic Plössl design - a layout that astronomers have trusted for decades. Its popularity comes down to a simple equation: solid optical performance at a price that works for beginners and experienced observers alike. The TS Optics Super Plössl 12mm 1.25″ eyepiece is particularly well suited for observing the Moon and planets. Images are sharp, colour rendering is accurate, and brightness holds up well even when the target sits low on the horizon.
FMC coatings and blackened lens edges
Every glass-to-air surface carries a high-quality FMC (Fully Multi-Coated) coating. This increases light transmission, preserves sharpness across the image, and keeps colour fringing to a minimum. The edges of each lens are blackened to suppress unwanted reflections inside the optical path - something you will appreciate when viewing bright objects such as the Moon or planets at opposition. A fold-down rubber eyecup makes eye placement comfortable and blocks stray light from the sides.
Universal 1.25″ barrel with filter thread
The barrel is the standard 1.25″ size and includes a filter thread, so you can use this eyepiece with the vast majority of telescopes on the market - no adapters needed. The optical system uses 4 lenses in 2 groups, the classic Plössl arrangement. Combined with modern coatings, this design delivers consistent, reliable results across the full 52° field of view.
Who is this eyepiece for?
- Beginners looking for a dependable first eyepiece for planetary and lunar work
- Experienced observers who want a compact, well-coated spare or dedicated Moon eyepiece
- Anyone seeking a universal 1.25″ eyepiece that fits most telescopes without modification
