It features full multicoatings for maximum light transmission and contrast. The blackened lens edges and internal anti-reflection threads help to tweak the last bit of contrast for maximum image detail. The sharper field focuses faint star light into perceptible points, making it suitable for use with undriven mounts.
The 8mm Plössl is part of a range of focal lengths, including 25mm, 20mm, 15mm, and 11mm, making it suitable for various observing tasks. It works well with Tele Vue Barlows or Powermates to effectively double the number of focal lengths in your collection. This eyepiece is far superior to those usually provided as standard with most instruments, offering a high-quality viewing experience.
