[OR08736]

• This 10mm focal length 1.25" eyepiece is ideal for all types of telescopes: reflector, refractor, and catadioptrics such as Maksutov-Cassegrains (Mak-Cass)
• An excellent telescope ocular for higher-power planetary and lunar observation
• Offers a 52-deg apparent field of view for clear, sharp images of impressively high contrast
• Multi-coated for maximum light throughput
• Great for observing small planetary nebulas and globular star clusters

It's no surprise that the eyepieces in our Sirius Plossl line are our best-selling telescope eyepieces. Quality this good usually costs a lot more.

Offering a wide 52° apparent field of view, this 10mm Orion Sirius Plossl Telescope Eyepiece provides extremely sharp images of impressively high contrast. It's ideal for all types of telescopes: reflector, refractor, and catadioptric. The Plossl 4-element design is renowned for its outstanding performance, and has become the standard by which all other telescope eyepieces are judged.

The Sirius Plossl optical system is multi-coated for exc ellent light transmission and bright views. Lens edges are blackened to reduce scattering of stray light and maximize contrast.

The lenses are mounted in black-anodized aluminum housings with a 1.25"-diameter chrome-plated brass barrel for durability and precision fit. The barrel is internally threaded to accept standard telescope filters. The built-in rubber eyeguard enhances viewing by helping to block out ambient light and position the eye.

This 10 mm Orion Sirius Plossl Eyepiece is a great, moderately high power ocular for observing small planetary nebulas and globular star clusters, as well as for planetary probing when seeing conditions don't permit higher magnifications.
