Its 6-element optical system delivers a continuous range of magnifications with an apparent field of view that expands from 40° at 24mm to 60° at 8mm. The entire assembly weighs just 7.94 oz, making it a lightweight and efficient solution for finding, centering, and examining celestial objects without ever swapping eyepieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-bg-light\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe 8mm to 24mm Variable Focal Length System\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis eyepiece's primary function is its ability to adjust magnification on the fly. Start at the 24mm setting for the widest possible view to locate and center your target. Then, with a simple twist of the rubberized barrel, you can zoom in to 8mm for high-power views, observing fine detail on planets or splitting tight double stars without interruption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis seamless transition is invaluable for outreach or for nights of variable seeing conditions, as it lets you instantly match the magnification to what the atmosphere will support. The aluminum body features standard 1.25\" filter threads, allowing you to add a Moon or nebula filter that remains in place across the entire zoom range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-bg-light\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA 40-60° Field for Planets, the Moon, and More\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe apparent field of view changes dynamically as you zoom, starting at a functional 40° at the 24mm setting and widening to an immersive 60° at the 8mm setting. The 40° field is ample for locating objects and observing large targets like the Orion Nebula (M42) or the full lunar disc, while the 60° field at high power provides enough space to comfortably track planets as they drift across the sky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile a zoom eyepiece trades the ultra-wide fields of fixed focal length eyepieces for convenience, the 40-60° range is well-suited for a majority of astronomical and terrestrial targets. The short 6mm of eye relief is a notable trade-off, making it less ideal for observers who require eyeglasses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-bg-light\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFully Multi-Coated 6-Element Optical Design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside the 109mm body, a 6-element, 4-group lens design manages the complex optical task of changing focal length while maintaining a sharp image.

1.25\"\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Celestron Omni 4mm Eyepiece delivers high-magnification views through its 4-element Plössl optical system. Its 4mm focal length is designed to push the power limits of your telescope for detailed planetary observation, while the 50° apparent field of view frames targets with sharp contrast. The tight 6mm of eye relief is characteristic of high-power eyepieces, requiring close viewing to see the full field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-bg-light\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHigh-Magnification Viewing: A 4mm Focal Length for Planets and Double Stars\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a 4mm focal length, this eyepiece is a specialist tool for nights of good seeing. It provides the high power necessary to resolve fine details like the Cassini Division in Saturn's rings, cloud bands on Jupiter, and the polar caps of Mars. The design is also ideal for splitting tight double stars and observing the compact cores of planetary nebulae.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis level of magnification requires steady atmospheric conditions and a well-collimated telescope to perform at its best. On a typical 8\" f\/10 Schmidt-Cassegrain, this eyepiece yields over 500x, a power reserved for the most stable nights. Its lightweight 1.26 oz (36 g) body ensures it won't create balance issues on your telescope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-bg-light\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eContrast and Clarity: 4-Element Optics with Multi-Coatings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Omni 4mm uses a classic 4-element, 2-group Plössl design, a configuration known for producing sharp, high-contrast images with minimal internal reflections.

This is extremely high power, exceeding the generally recommended maximum of 400x for an 8\" scope. It will only be usable on nights with exceptionally steady atmospheric seeing.

Most eyeglass wearers will not be able to see the full 50° field of view while wearing their glasses. To see the entire field, you will need to remove your glasses and press your eye close to the lens, using the telescope's focuser to correct for your vision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-accordion\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"DAV-accordion-Q\"\u003eWhy is the image through the Omni 4mm eyepiece dimmer than my lower-power eyepieces?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-accordion-A\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigher magnification spreads the same amount of light over a larger area, which naturally results in a dimmer image. This is a fundamental principle of optics.

With an apparent field of view that is close to the maximum for hyper-wide eyepiece design, objects are not only easier to locate, but for non-driven telescopes the object will stay in the field of view for a very long time before any adjustments need to be made.","brand":"Explore Scientific","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44967199932701,"sku":"ES-EPWP10020-01","price":699.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/5280\/1565\/products\/Explore-Scientific-100-deg-20mm-Waterproof-Eyepiece-EPWP10020-00-1__73534.1594240348.1280.1280.jpg?v=1684338732"},{"product_id":"explore-scientific-100-9mm-waterproof-eyepiece-2","title":"Explore Scientific 100° 9mm Waterproof Eyepiece - 2\"","description":"\u003c!-- more --\u003eExplore Ultra-Wide Eyepieces - Comfort, Quality, Value.
