Omegon Cronus WA 3.2mm Eyepiece (1.25 inch)

Omegon Cronus WA 3,2 mm Oculair (1,25 inch): groothoekoculair met 60 graden beeldveld

Het Omegon Cronus WA 3,2 mm is een groothoekoculair met een beeldveld van 60 graden en een oogafstand van 16 mm. Dit brandpunt zit net onder de grens van wat de meeste middelgrote telescopen aan vergroting aankunnen.

The Cronus series is the affordable entry into wide-field eyepieces: you see about 20 percent more field of view than with a standard Plossl, without a tunnel effect. Objects stay in view longer, which is especially nice with telescopes without a tracking motor.

Comfortable viewing, even with glasses

The 16mm eye relief is generous for this price range. Your eye doesn't need to be exactly on the optical axis to see a full field of view, virtually eliminating black vignetting. Those who wear glasses can observe with them on.

The rotating eyepiece can be adjusted to your preferred distance. Useful if multiple people are looking through the same telescope.

Six-element optics with multi-coating

The six-element lens design features multi-layer coating on all air-to-glass surfaces. This increases light transmission and keeps reflections low, for a high-contrast image with a dark background.

The 1.25-inch barrel has standard filter threads, so you can screw a moon filter or color filter directly under the eyepiece.

Wat zie je met 3,2 mm?

Op een telescoop met 750 mm brandpuntsafstand geeft 3,2 mm een vergroting van 234x: geschikt voor maandetail en planeten bij goede atmosferische omstandigheden.

Je haalt er structuren in de wolkenbanden van Jupiter mee naar voren, het reliëf langs de maanterminator en de fase van Venus.

Featured accessories

All Cronus eyepieces share the same field of view and eye relief, making it comfortable to switch focal lengths. Combine with an Omegon Moon Filter (1.25 inch) to dim the bright lunar image, or with an Omegon Barlow lens for extra magnification at longer focal lengths.

For whom yes and for whom no

• ✓ Beginners and advanced users who want a wider field of view than a Plössl offers
• ✓ Spectacle wearers, thanks to the 16 mm interpupillary distance
• ✓ Telescopes without tracking motors: objects stay in view longer
• For those seeking a flat field of view all the way to the edge, the Omegon Flatfield series is better suited.
• ✗ Smart telescopes without interchangeable eyepieces
