Designed for astronomers who demand clarity, comfort, and precision, the Explore Scientific 9mm 62° Series Eyepiece is a powerful mid-to-high magnification tool ideal for observing planetary detail, lunar terrain, and compact deep sky objects. Its 62° apparent field of view delivers a wide, immersive viewing experience, while the 12.6mm eye relief supports relaxed, extended sessions—even for eyeglass wearers.
Engineered with a flat-field optical system, this eyepiece ensures edge-to-edge sharpness. Fully multi-coated lenses with EMD coatings and edge-blackened optics enhance contrast and reduce glare—revealing faint details when using averted vision techniques.
Ruggedly built and argon-purged for waterproof performance, this compact eyepiece resists fogging and contamination, making it perfect for on-the-go astronomers or humid observing environments.
