Celestron 56mm Omni Series 2" Plossl Eyepiece

The Celestron 56mm Omni Series 2" Plossl Eyepiece is a premium choice for amateur astronomers and seasoned stargazers seeking a high-quality, durable, and versatile viewing experience. This advanced eyepiece features a 4-element, fully multi-coated Plossl optical design, renowned for its ability to produce sharp, high-contrast images. With an expansive 47-degree apparent field of view, this eyepiece is ideal for immersing yourself in the vastness of the cosmos, offering a perfect balance of low magnification and a wide field that is essential for observing breathtaking deep-sky objects. Crafted for use with telescopes of longer focal lengths, such as Celestron's Schmidt-Cassegrains and EdgeHDs, the Omni 56mm Plossl is particularly adept at bringing to life star clusters like the Pleiades, nebulae including the Lagoon and Orion, and galaxies such as Andromeda.

Its innovative design, featuring large lens elements, enables this combination of low magnification and broad field of view, ensuring that some of the night sky's most awe-inspiring spectacles fit entirely within your sight. The eyepiece's construction is a testament to Celestron's commitment to quality. The internal barrel is painted black and equipped with baffles to minimize internal light reflections, thereby enhancing contrast for a more striking visual experience. Additionally, the lens edges are blackened to further improve contrast and detail in your observations. For added versatility, the eyepiece's mounting barrel is threaded to accommodate 2" filters, allowing for customization of your viewing experience.

It is also compatible with 2" star diagonals and focusers. Safety is considered with a notched barrel design, preventing the eyepiece from accidentally slipping out of the focuser should the securing thumbscrews loosen. Ergonomics have not been overlooked. The Omni 56mm Plossl features an integrated knurled rubber grip ring, ensuring a secure, non-slip hold even in the chill of night or when wearing gloves. The eyepiece is also designed with user comfort in mind, boasting a fold-down rubber eyeguard and a generous 52mm eye relief, making it a comfortable option for both eyeglass wearers and those without.

In summary, the Celestron 56mm Omni Series 2" Plossl Eyepiece is an exceptional tool for anyone passionate about exploring the night sky, delivering a viewing experience that is as immersive as it is impressive.
