The Omegon Cronus WA 5 mm is a compact, wide angle eyepiece that delivers exceptionally sharp images at high magnification. The large eye relief of 16 mm keeps observing comfortable - even for eyeglass wearers. This eyepiece is a perfect upgrade for those who want to get more out of their telescope on moon, planets and compact deep-sky objects.
The 60° field of view provides a panoramic view compared to standard Plössl eyepieces and prevents the ‘tunnel vision’ effect. The multicoating on all lens surfaces increases contrast and clarity even at high magnifications.
The 5 mm focal length is ideal for:
✓ viewing the Great Red Spot and cloud bands on Jupiter
✓ distinguishing Cassini separation and shadow of rings on Saturn
✓ magnifying globular clusters and planetary nebulae such as the Ring Nebula
✓ reaching the maximum usable magnification for many 100-130 mm telescope systems
The folding eyecup is infinitely adjustable for optimal comfort. Thanks to the standard 1.25″ mount and filter thread, it is compatible with virtually all telescopes and color filters.

- 16 mm eye relief, also suitable for eyeglass wearers

Application
