Designed to offer immersive deep-sky views and all-night comfort, the Explore Scientific 24mm 68° Series Eyepiece delivers razor-sharp, high-contrast imagery in a versatile focal length perfect for sweeping star fields, bright nebulae, and distant galaxies.
This high-performance eyepiece uses a computer-optimized optical system with low-dispersion, high-refractive index glass and EMD (Enhanced Multi-Layer Deposition) coatings for superb light transmission, contrast, and a true flat field—ensuring edge-to-edge clarity without visual distortion.
Its parfocal configuration allows you to change eyepieces without needing to refocus, while the argon-purged, waterproof construction protects the internal optics from fog, dust, and contaminants—even in challenging outdoor conditions. Each eyepiece is submersion-tested at 1 meter for 30 minutes to ensure complete sealing.
Whether you're exploring the Milky Way, tracking open clusters, or navigating deep sky targets, the 24mm 68° Series is built to perform with comfort and clarity in mind.
