Skywatcher – Super Plossl 40mm, Ø 31,8mm

Description

The advantages in a nutshell:

• a quality eyepiece – providing a better image than those that come included with new telescopes
• 52 degree field of view (45° for the 40mm) – significantly wider than Kellner and standard Ploessl eyepieces
• multi-coating and blackened lens edges for high contrast
• 1.25″ connector – the eyepieces will fit in any telescope
• rubber fold-down eyecups to protect against stray light

52° field of view – so it is not like ‘looking through a tunnel’

Super Ploessl eyepieces are a plus for your observing because, in comparison to cheap standard eyepieces, they have a wider, 52 degree, field of view. You observe as through a large window and it also means that you can see more detail.

Blackened lens edges – more contrast with bright and faint objects

When observing with a telescope, it really all comes down to good quality eyepieces – these are just as important as the telescope itself. They decide whether you can make out the fine spiral arms of M51, or make out a minor planet that is right at the performance limit of the telescope. They reduce reflections even when observing bright objects.

The lens edges of these Super Ploessl eyepieces have been blackened to ensure they provide good contrast. Light does not get ‘lost on the way’, but goes to exactly where it should – into your eye.

A large range of focal lengths – from 4mm to 40mm

These eyepieces provide you with a range of 9 focal lengths. So you are guaranteed to find the right magnification and increments for your telescope. And the best part – all the eyepieces are parfocal.
