Explore Scientific 100° 14mm - 2'' [ES-EPWP10014-01]

Explore Scientific: Explore Scientific eyepiece, 14 mm focal length, 100 ° visible field, 50.8 mm (2 ").
In recent years, Explore Scientific eyepieces have built a solid reputation in terms of quality, The eyepiece of Explore is a pleasant and easy experience, the image is beautiful from the first glance.
This eyepiece offers an apparent wide field of 100 °, high level optical quality, surprising light transmission and correctly corrected field planarity ...
Each eyepiece of the 100 ° series is sealed and filled with an inert gas, argon. This process prevents the formation of condensation inside the eyepiece and prevents the entry of dust to maximize the lifetime of the internal coatings. To ensure watertightness, each eyepiece of the 100 ° series is factory tested by immersing it under water for 30 minutes to a depth of one meter.

The Explore Scientific 100 ° delivers sharp, contrasting images. The apparent field of 100 ° is so wide, that you can keep in sight a celestial object observed in a non-motorized instrument.
The focal length of the Explore Scientific 100 ° eyepiece of 14 mm predestines it at medium magnifications (71x on an optical tube of 1 meter of focal length). It is therefore versatile and suitable for planetary observations (Moon, planets, Sun), double or multiple stars, as well as observation of planetary nebulae and the search for details in nebulae and galaxies.
The eye relief of 14 mm is 14.5 mm: this means that the image remains comfortable up to 14.5 mm above the lens, to fully enjoy the field offered by the lens, ocular. This is an important detail for the viewer wearing eyeglasses, which will keep them on the nose.
The inside of the sink is threaded in M48 x 0.75 mm to accommodate filters with a diameter of 50.8 mm (2 "), Such as interference filters of type OIII, UHC, H-Beta..., Which serve to enhance contrast on many nebulae.
