Description
The cost of accessories for your telescope can really add up, especially if you're just starting out, or you want several eyepieces of different focal lengths. Not everyone wants to drop $100 or even $50 per eyepiece.
Now you don't have to spend a fortune for good-quality oculars. Explorer II models are attractively priced for even limited budgets.
The 4-element glass lens configuration of this 17mm Explorer II 1.25" eyepiece provides a pleasing 50° apparent field of view, wider than that of many pricier eyepiece designs. The lenses are carefully ground and polished from quality optical glass to provide excellent image sharpness and brightness. They're fully coated with anti-reflection material to maximize transmission of incoming light.
The anodized aluminum barrel is precisely machined and internally blackened to prevent stray light reflections. It's also threaded to accept standard light-pollution and color filters.
Whether you're looking to upgrade from a lower-quality eyepiece, or you just want a good, reliable ocular at a reasonable price, you can't go wrong with Explorer II. One-year limited warranty.
