Description: Plossl Eyepieces - Antares The Plossl eyepiece is by far the most popular ocular in use today. With the classic 4 element symmetrical doublet design so famous for field correction, it performs with low color aberration with almost every type instrument. The wide 52 degree apparent field of view provides a clear, crisp image with outstanding contrast. There are many focal lengths available and each features precision optics with all four faces multi-coated and edge blackening for maximum possible contrast. Fold down rubber eyeshields and barrels threaded for standard filters are included. If you compare the features found with Antares Plossls, you must agree that they are an outstanding value.

Reviews:
I am amazed at how light weight this low power eyepiece is. This works great in my 4.5" f/8 newtonian reflector and doesn't throw the balance off either. I can't wait to use this eyepiece in my 8" telescope that I am building.
