Omegon 16.8mm Eyepiece Ortho (1.25 inches)

Omegon Ortho Eyepiece 16.8 mm - More detail where it really counts
The Omegon Ocular Ortho 16.8 mm 1.25” is made for observers who value sharpness over a wide image. This eyepiece lets you see planets, the Moon and binary stars with a calmness and clarity that is immediately striking. You are not looking at more, but better. And that is immediately apparent in the details.

Orthoscopic design that makes a difference
This eyepiece uses only four lenses in two groups. Less glass means less light loss. This keeps the image bright and contrasty. Details separate more easily from the background, exactly what you want with planets and narrow binary stars. This allows you to see subtle structures that often disappear with more complex eyepieces.

Ideal magnification for quiet viewing
At 16.8 mm, you're in a comfortable magnification range. High enough to see details, but quiet enough to keep the image stable and relaxed. That makes this eyepiece perfect for longer observations, where you really take your time exploring nuances.

Sharp to the edge
The image remains sharp not only in the center, but also toward the edges. This ensures a natural and calm image without distortions. Your eyes have to work less, so you can observe longer and more pleasantly.

High contrast thanks to multicoating
All lenses are fully multicoated. Reflections are suppressed and contrast is increased. Dark areas remain deep black, light details remain clear. So you get the most out of your telescope, even in difficult observations.

Comfortable even with concentrated viewing
The soft rubber eyecup blocks distracting side light and helps automatically position your eye properly. This makes viewing more comfortable and constant. Ideal when you want to fully focus on fine details.

Universally applicable
The 1.25″ connection allows this eyepiece to fit virtually any modern telescope. The available filter thread makes it easy to use accessories such as moon or contrast filters.

This is the eyepiece you grab when you want to see that extra bit of sharpness.
