The Explore Scientific 14mm 82° Series Waterproof Eyepiece is a top performer in the upper-medium magnification range, offering the perfect balance of power, field of view, and optical clarity. With its expansive 82° apparent field, this eyepiece immerses you in stunning views of globular clusters, planetary nebulae, and even subtle solar features when used with the proper filtration.
Crafted from premium low-dispersion, high-index optical glass, this eyepiece delivers high contrast and sharp resolution. EMD coatings and edge-blackened lens elements maximize light transmission and suppress internal reflections, making it easier to detect faint celestial details using averted vision. Whether you're tracking a comet or exploring dense star fields, the wide field and crisp clarity enhance every observation.
Its argon-purged, waterproof housing protects the internal elements from fogging, dust, and moisture — ideal for rugged outdoor conditions. This eyepiece is also fully compatible with Explore Scientific’s 2X, 3X, and 5X Focal Extenders, allowing for flexible magnification boosts without sacrificing eye relief or field of view.
