Baader Planetarium Baader Planetarium 32mm Classic Plossl Eyepiece with Extender Tube (1.25")

After meticulous engineering, the Alpine Astronomical Baader 32mm Classic Plossl Eyepiece emerges as a superior choice for astronomers seeking to enhance their stargazing experience. Designed to deliver a modest magnification across a wide range of optical tube assemblies (OTAs), this eyepiece boasts an expansive 50-degree apparent field of view, immersing observers in the celestial panorama. Crafted for seamless integration, this model achieves parfocality with Baader orthoscopic eyepieces, streamlining your observation sessions by minimizing the need for refocusing when switching between eyepieces in the ortho lineup. The precision 4-element/2-group lens configuration, featuring a triplet-element and a single plano-convex eye lens, ensures a minimized number of glass-air interfaces, thereby reducing internal diffraction and light loss for a pristine viewing experience.

The eyepiece's superior optical performance is further enhanced by the true high-transmission (HT) multi-coatings applied to all glass-air surfaces. This advanced coating technology produces exceptionally bright images with sharp contrast, while effectively preventing internal reflections that can detract from image quality. Alpine Astronomical has meticulously blackened the interior of the anodized housing to eliminate stray light interference, ensuring that each celestial object stands out with optimal clarity. The housing also includes precisely machined threads, compatible with most standard 1.25" filters, allowing for further customization of your viewing experience. The Baader 32mm Classic Plossl Eyepiece is equipped with a standard 1.25" barrel, making it universally compatible with a wide array of holders and accessories.

The inclusion of a winged eyecup is a thoughtful touch, designed to shield your vision from peripheral light distractions, thereby enhancing contrast and brightness in your field of view. Additionally, the slip-on eyeguard extension tube provides versatility, allowing users to adjust the eyeguard's position to accommodate a Barlow lens or to suit personal preferences for eye relief. In summary, the Alpine Astronomical Baader 32mm Classic Plossl Eyepiece is a testament to optical excellence, offering astronomers a refined tool to explore the night sky with unparalleled clarity and comfort.
