Description: Antares Elite Plossl Eyepieces    A superior design, Antares 5-Element plossls provide fine color correction and eye relief with 52 degrees of apparent field of view. The image is sharp from center to the edge of the field and lateral color is better than any 4-element version. All lens elements are multicoated and edge blackened to achieve the greatest possible contrast. Although these features make them especially prized for planetary viewing, these oculars are outstanding performers on every type of celestial view. Available with 1.25" barrels in focal lengths of 5, 7.5, 10, 15, 20 and 25mm, each is parfocalized so you do not need to refocus when switching between Antares Elite Plossl Eyepieces. Each eyepiece includes dust caps and a removable rubber eye shield. Note: The 5mm eyepiece is a 7 element design.
