Ideal for rich-field observing and deep-sky exploration, the Explore Scientific 26mm 62° Series Eyepiece delivers stunning clarity, wide-field coverage, and exceptional user comfort. With its generous 19.3mm of eye relief, it’s perfect for eyeglass wearers or those seeking relaxed, extended observing sessions under the stars.
The 62° apparent field of view offers a richly immersive celestial experience, making it easy to frame open clusters, sweeping star fields, and diffuse nebulae. Its flat-field optical design, combined with fully multi-coated optics and edge-blackened lenses, provides sharp, high-contrast views across the entire visual field—ideal for use in refractors, Dobsonians, and fast focal ratio reflectors.
Internally argon-purged and O-ring sealed, this eyepiece is waterproof and fog-resistant, ensuring performance in even the most demanding environments.
