Since the eyepiece is of great importance in determining the magnification of an astronomical telescope, sooner or later you will want to include at least a few of these accessories.
Basically the eyepiece is a magnifying lens used to enlarge the image produced by a telescope.
Eyepieces vary in quality and sophistication, economical eyepieces may be made up with as few as three elements while more sophisticated designs may have four or up to eight elements of precisely ground glass elements contained within a metal cylinder.
Areas of consideration include:
Magnification (the telescope's focal length in mm divided by the size of the eyepiece)
Field of View (the area that can be seen through the telescope)
Eye Relief (spacing between the lens of the eyepiece nearest to the observer and the observer's eye)
Quality of Image (this can range from adequate to excellent)
A simple search for 'astronomical eyepieces' on any web search engine will return a wealth of detailed information on such subjects.
Our selection of eyepieces has evolved over the years and we offer what we consider to be the finest available in their respective fields.
