Omegon Oberon 10mm Eyepiece 82° (1.25 inch)

Omegon Oberon 10 mm eyepiece 82° (1.25 inch): 82-degree field of view with spacewalk effect

The Omegon Oberon 10 mm is an ultra-wide-angle ocular with a field of view of 82 degrees. At that point, the edges of your vision disappear: the famous spacewalk effect, as if you were freely exploring space.

The housing is waterproof and filled with nitrogen. Dew and moisture, the permanent companions of Dutch observation nights, have no chance to cause internal fogging.

82 degrees: the spacewalk effect

With an 82-degree apparent field of view, the edge of the field lies outside your direct field of view. Objects float in a star field instead of inside a circle. On a Dobson without a tracking motor, it also means maximum tracking time before you need to readjust.

Built for humid nights

The waterproof, nitrogen-filled construction prevents internal condensation and keeps dust out. The multi-layer coating on all air-glass surfaces keeps contrast high, and the fold-down eyecup can be adjusted to your viewing distance.

The 1.25 inch fitting has filter thread for moon and nevafilters.

What do you see with 10 mm?

On a telescope with a 1200 mm focal length, 10 mm gives a magnification of 120x, at 900 mm 90x. The focal point where planets show detail while deep-sky objects keep their surroundings.

The lunar terminator is filled with craters, with a dark sky surrounding it instead of a field boundary.

Featured accessories
