Orion 5mm Edge-On Planetary Eyepiece – 1.25″

Orion 5mm Edge-On Planetary Eyepiece – 1.25″

Orion Edge-On Planetary eyepieces bring flat-field performance to solar system viewing in the form of six medium- and high-magnification focal lengths. The 5mm Edge-On Eyepiece by Orion employs a sophisticated 7-element lens design found in oculars costing much more! This design renders an optically flat image that’s sharply focused from center to edge of the wide 55-degree apparent field of view. Barrel distortion and field curvature aberrations are virtually gone.

The Orion 5mm Edge-On Planetary Eyepiece lets you push the power, whether you’re canvassing the lunar terminator or studying the Jovian cloud belts. The optics are fully multi-coated for high light transmission, and it has 20mm eye relief for viewing comfort, even if you wear glasses. Other nice touches: blackened lens edges, a pop-down rubber eyeguard, and 1.25″ barrel threaded for filters. Enjoy new incredible high-detail views with your telescope!
