Explore Scientific 52 Degree Series 30mm Waterproof Eyepiece - EPWP5230-01

Introducing the Explore Scientific 52° Series 30mm Waterproof Eyepiece, a cherished tool among deep sky observers.

Its 30mm focal length delivers a wide exit pupil, bathing your dilated eye in essential light for discerning faint galaxies and nebulae.

Low-power eyepieces hold significant importance for observers, offering a broad true field of view that simplifies object location and alignment.

Many expansive deep sky objects are best appreciated at the lowest magnifications attainable by your telescope and eyepiece combination.

Even in less-than-ideal seeing conditions, objects often retain their sharpness at lower powers.

The Explore Scientific 52° Series 30mm Eyepiece – a fusion of comfort, quality, and value.

This eyepiece boasts top-tier flat-field multi-element optics, poised to transform your visual astronomy endeavors.

With a generous apparent field of view extending to 52 degrees, these eyepieces offer unparalleled worth in a premium package.

Expect nothing short of extraordinary quality, ample eye relief, and exceptional value when compared to Plossls of similar price range.

Another notable advantage of these eyepieces lies in their exceptional contrast enhancement and the ease with which you can employ averted vision.

This technique proves especially valuable when observing faint celestial objects.

By utilizing averted vision, you direct the image to a more light-sensitive part of your eye, enabling the perception of even fainter details.
