Omegon Plössl Eyepiece 40 mm 1.25″

Omegon Plössl Eyepiece 40 mm 1.25″ is the eyepiece of choice for maximum field of view at minimum magnification. Ideal for detecting objects, viewing the Moon in its entirety or seeing large star clusters and nebulae in their full context. Thanks to the long eye relief, this eyepiece is particularly comfortable, even for eyeglass wearers.

Application and compatibility
For a telescope with 1000 mm focal length, this eyepiece offers only 25x magnification, keeping objects in focus longer and allowing you to navigate more easily. This makes it very suitable for larger Dobsons, refractors and Newtons with limited tracking capacity.

Note that the long focal length makes the beam relatively wide, which may cause vignetting (‘vignetting’) at the edge on some telescopes with a 1.25″ focuser. For optimal use: combine this eyepiece preferably with a telescope with long focal length and good optics.
