Every passionate astronomer who observes with a large Dobsonian telescope is familiar with the problem of coma aberration. This optical aberration is typical of Newtonian telescopes and makes the stars at the edges of the field of view appear comet-like. A coma corrector solves this problem.
The Houdini coma corrector eyepieces are a real alternative! With these eyepieces there is no need to buy an expensive coma corrector!
At the moment, only the Houdini eyepiece with a focal length of 20 millimeters is available, but in the course of the year the manufacturer will offer further focal lengths, all of which you will find here in the store!
Some people may not be familiar with this name. But Nocpix is no less a company than InfiRay, which is already a well-known brand and one of the market leaders. In order to differentiate its business areas a little more, this new brand was created for the target group of nature observers, outdoor enthusiasts and hunters.
But what does the name stand for? Nocpix is the syllabic abbreviation of ‘Nocturnal’ and ‘Pixel’ and is intended to symbolise the combination of the latest technological innovations with a passion for nature and hunting. This has resulted in several new product series:
It’s best to take a look at the range!
A starry night. You’re standing at your telescope and probably thinking: “If only I could see a little more…”
More field of view, better edge sharpness, simply more detail. Does that sound familiar?
Our Omegon product team has taken this wish to heart with the new OGDO eyepiece series. And the result truly speaks for itself. Even hobby astronomers with fast telescopes will be delighted.
What makes the OGDO series so special?
Wow! That’s usually the first thought when you look through the eyepiece. With a gigantic 80-degree apparent field of view, you’ll feel like you’re diving right into the night sky. The Orion Nebula? Suddenly appears in a whole new dimension and feels almost limitless.
And the best part: the stars stay sharp. The optics are optimized even for systems with a focal ratio down to around f/4.5, when using a coma corrector. Not many eyepieces can handle that. And you’ll immediately notice the difference compared to other products in this price range.
What’s the secret behind the astonishing contrast? It lies in the Lanthanum ED glass used, made by renowned Japanese manufacturer Ohara. Just take a look at Jupiter: its delicate cloud bands and subtle color variations suddenly stand out clearly. Truly impressive. Even faint deep-sky objects become a real experience.
Do you wear glasses? No problem. With a generous 20 mm eye relief, you can finally observe comfortably without removing them. And you still enjoy the full field of view. This also applies to the short focal lengths of 4 mm and 6 mm!
Another detail we love: the waterproof and rubber-armored metal housing. Say goodbye to worries. The eyepieces can be safely stored in the included flannel pouch. The optics stay protected and always ready for action.
The right eyepiece for every observing situation
The OGDO family comes in five different focal lengths:
What more could you want? You’ll have the right eyepiece at your fingertips for any situation.
So how about taking a look into your eyepiece case right now and finding a spot for the OGDO?
News for all visual observers. In the December 2024 issue of the renowned magazine “Astronomy Now“, our Omegon Advanced X N 152mm Dobson was put through its paces. And the result? Passed with flying colours!
Experienced tester Steve Ringwood was particularly impressed by the excellent optical quality. The heart of the telescope – its parabolic primary mirror – delivered razor-sharp images of planets, stars and DeepSky objects. Even at high magnifications the top notch quality of the optics was evident. The expert was also enthusiastic about its easy handling.
The tester’s conclusion speaks for itself:
“This is an outstanding telescope for a rapid set-up, at the outset of a new observer or the onset of a clear evening. It has great potential, belied by a very keen price point.”
