Premium astronomical eyepiece from Baader Planetarium with 12.5mm focal length and 76-degree apparent field of view provides a wide, immersive ‘spacewalk' experience when viewing stars, galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters. Also gives excellent views of the Moon, planets, and other solar system objects.
Long 20mm eye relief for a comfortable viewing experience, even when wearing eyeglasses.

Multi-coated lenses and internal baffling ensure minimal light scatter and high image contrast. Minimal aberrations and distortion for excellent views of stars and extended deep-sky objects over the full field of view.
Size and weight are optimized for use with astronomy binoviewers to allow observing with both eyes (optional binoviewers, sold separately, require two eyepieces of the same type and focal length). Eyepiece weight is 11oz (311g).
Includes removable eye guards to keep stray light out of your eyes while observing. Rubber grip for easy and secure handling, even while wearing gloves. Threaded for standard astronomy filters (not included).
