Super ploessl eyepieces

Omegon super ploessl eyepieces are of especially high quality due to the highest requirements being demanded of their optical and mechanical specifications. Even at first sight, you can recognize the excellent workmanship. For example, all glass/air surfaces are coated with a green reflection-suppressing FMC coating. The advantage: higher light transmission and better contrast. The 55° apparent field of view of these eyepieces is somewhat wider than with more basic eyepieces of the same design. This modified design prevents the tunnel-vision effect and offers more comfort when observing. The eyepieces are manufactured with an entirely aluminium body along with a precision 1.25” size barrel. Each eyepiece has an internal thread for use with 1.25” filters. A fold-down rubber eyecup offers protection from any stray light from the side.

The moon filter

As our constant companion, the moon is a very popular object for observing, offering fascinating views even with small telescopes. But our satellite the moon is often so bright that not only can you read a newspaper by its light but even be dazzled by it when observing. The Omegon moon filter provides a simple solution here and reduces the light level to one which is much more pleasant. The filter simply screws into the eyepiece barrel and everything is then ready for your 'trip to the moon'.

The case - everything prepared

Accessories can be kept in this elegantly designed aluminium accessory case. Although the case looks very compact, it provides enough room for your eyepieces, filters and other accessories. This Omegon case has also been selected to provide sufficient room for further accessories. Even large 2 “eyepieces will fit in it due to its roomy12cm deep interior. Exactly where you locate each accessory is left completely up to you: The integrated 1cm x 1cm cube 'pluck foam' material allows eyepieces to be located fairly precisely.

Plus:
-Complete set of high quality eyepieces
-Awesome case
-Price

Minus:
-Short eye relief on the 4mm eyepiece

------------------------
This magnificent set is my first eyepiece upgrade and WOW!
After getting used to the included eyepieces that came with my scope i decided it was time for an upgrade.
I was far from disappointed! Every eyepiece (except for the 4mm one) is of great quality and will last you a very very long time.
The 4mm eyepiece however, is quite hard to look through. This is because of the very short eye relief. It is almost impossible to use the rubber eyecup.
My favorite is definitly the 17mm one.

In short: highly recommended upgrade for anyone who just got a scope and feels that the included eyepieces are holding you back.
