Elevate your observing journey with Explore Scientific 82° Series 8.8mm Waterproof Eyepiece commitment to excellence.
Features:
- 82° Apparent Field of View: Delve into a vast 82-degree apparent field of view, unveiling a panoramic celestial vista that enriches your observation of celestial objects. This expansive field fosters a relaxed viewing experience, enabling prolonged and comfortable stargazing sessions.
- 8.8mm Focal Length: The 8.8mm focal length strikes a harmonious balance between higher magnification and a wide field of view. Perfect for scrutinizing objects that benefit from increased magnification while demanding a broader perspective. It particularly excels when paired with larger refractor telescopes.

It boasts seals that guard against moisture and debris, ensuring unwavering reliability even in challenging observing conditions.

This functionality allows for a tailored viewing experience, enabling the enhancement of specific colors or the reduction of light pollution, aligning with the observer's preferences and target object.
