Explore Scientific 100 Degree Series 20mm Waterproof Eyepiece - EPWP10020-01

The Explore Scientific 100° Series 20mm Waterproof Eyepiece revolutionizes the world of visual astronomy, presenting a sweeping apparent field of view that immerses observers in a panoramic and captivating celestial experience.

Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this eyepiece is engineered to facilitate prolonged observation by alleviating eye strain, enabling astronomers to focus on intricate cosmic details for extended durations.

Originally designed for military applications, this ultra-wide angle eyepiece played a crucial role in precise target aiming.

Its long eye-relief design also proved instrumental in preventing eye injuries caused by recoil.

Each eyepiece undergoes a rigorous internal sealing and purging process with dry nitrogen gas.

This not only prevents internal fogging but also fortifies it against fine particulate intrusion and fungal growth, ensuring the longevity of internal coatings.

To validate its waterproof capabilities, every 100° Series eyepiece undergoes a 30-minute submersion in water at a depth of one meter.

Furthermore, the ES 100° Series 20mm Eyepiece boasts full multi-coating and edge-blackened optics, optimizing contrast and minimizing reflections.

This meticulous attention to detail guarantees unparalleled image clarity and brightness.

With these exceptional features, the Explore Scientific 100° Series 20mm Waterproof Eyepiece exemplifies the brand's unwavering commitment to providing astronomers with unmatched viewing experiences.

Whether you're a seasoned stargazer or an aspiring enthusiast, this eyepiece is poised to elevate your observations to new heights.
