Introducing the Explore Scientific 82° Series 24mm Waterproof Eyepiece.

This Argon-Purged ocular offers a sought-after focal length, delivering both a super-wide apparent field and ample eye relief.

Ideal for applications demanding higher power, it excels in observing star clusters, nebulae, comets, planets, and even solar regions (with proper filtration).

Compatible with Explore Scientific Focal Extenders for magnification boosts while preserving field of view and eye relief.

Crafted through advanced computer design, combining low dispersion and high refractive index optics, and fortified with durable enhanced multilayer deposition (EMD) coatings, the 82° Series ensures superior contrast, resolution, and a flat field.

This immersive experience, with extended eye relief and an expansive field, facilitates a relaxed gaze, enabling the averted vision technique for discerning faint details across a wide expanse.

Every eyepiece undergoes meticulous assembly within precisely machined metal lens barrels to maintain optical alignment for enduring field use.

Features:

  • 82° Apparent Field of View: The Explore Scientific 82° Series 24mm Waterproof Eyepiece boasts an expansive 82-degree apparent field of view. This wide field immerses observers in a vast celestial landscape, enhancing the visual experience and enabling the capture of panoramic views of the night sky.
  • 24mm Focal Length: With a 24mm focal length, this eyepiece provides versatility for various astronomical observations. It strikes a balance between magnification and field of view, making it suitable for observing a wide range of celestial objects, from the Moon and planets to deep-sky wonders.
  • Advanced Optical Design: This eyepiece employs advanced computer-aided design and incorporates a combination of low dispersion and high refractive index optical elements. This sophisticated design minimizes chromatic aberration and ensures exceptional image quality with enhanced color fidelity.
  • Durable Multilayer Deposition Coatings: The lens surfaces of this eyepiece feature robust multilayer deposition coatings (EMD coatings). These coatings optimize light transmission, reduce internal reflections, and maximize contrast, resulting in sharp, high-contrast views of celestial objects.
  • Argon-Purged Waterproof Design: Designed with an Argon-purged construction, this eyepiece is waterproof and sealed against environmental factors. It remains impervious to internal fogging, even in damp conditions. Argon gas offers superior sealing properties compared to Nitrogen, minimizing the risk of leakage over time.

  • Superior Flat Field Characteristics: The eyepiece maintains excellent flat field characteristics, ensuring that stars remain sharp and pinpoint across the entire field of view. This feature is particularly valuable for astrophotography and detailed visual observations.
  • Long Eye Relief: Offering generous eye relief, this eyepiece provides comfort during extended observing sessions. This extended eye relief is especially appreciated by observers who wear eyeglasses, as it allows for comfortable viewing without excessive eye strain.
  • Parfocal Design: The eyepiece maintains near-identical focus across various focal lengths, ensuring smooth transitions when switching between different eyepieces. This parfocal design streamlines the observing process without the need for frequent refocusing.
  • Removable and Foldable Soft Silicone Rubber Eyecup: The eyepiece includes a removable and foldable soft silicone rubber eyecup. This feature enhances observer comfort during prolonged viewing sessions, providing a cushioned interface between the observer's eye and the eyepiece.
  • Rigorous Water Testing: Each eyepiece undergoes extensive water testing, being submerged in one meter of water for 30 minutes. This testing ensures a perfect seal and boosts confidence in the eyepiece's waterproofing capabilities.
  • Included Accessories: The accessory ensemble accompanying the Explore Scientific 82° Series 24mm Waterproof Eyepiece includes protective eyepiece caps, comfortable soft silicone rubber eyecups, a secure eyepiece pouch/case for storage, and is complemented by a limited 1-year warranty, providing users with enhanced peace of mind.
