Looking for something out of the ordinary for your next eyepiece? The Explore Scientific 52° series is a strong contender for necessary addition to your eyepiece collection. It's long 15mm of eye relief makes it a joy to put in your scope night after night.
Mid-range high power eyepieces like the 6.5mm are instrumental when transitioning through magnifications to observe an object until it is best seen. There are several aspects that have to come together when observing at high powers: good-to-perfect atmospheric seeing conditions; telescope optics that are collimated; a telescope that is acclimated to the ambient temperature; brightness and size of the object being observed are just a few aspects to consider. The observing challenges are high, but the rewards of observing at high power with razor sharp views are unforgettable.
While some might question the need for Argon-Purged waterproof eyepieces, it is a nice concept knowing the inside of your eyepiece will be just as perfect as the day it left the assembly line. No need to worry about dust, or cleaning solution, finding its way inside the elements. These eyepieces are designed to be used night after night giving you complete peace of mind about their performance.
