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.
Often considered the perfect mid-range focal length for most amateur telescopes, the 20mm on the ED127 at f7.5 produces a 1 degree true field of view. Perfect for the Messier Marathon, or running down the Herschel Catalog. The 20mm 52° Series is also a good selection for most binoviewers with its relatively small size and magnification range.
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.
