EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC Teleextender 2x 50,8mm/2"

Explore Scientific 82° Series™ extreme wide field eyepieces are optimized to produce high contrast, high resolution, and superior flat field characteristics. The visual effect of these eyepieces with their long eye-relief and their 82° apparent field is truly a full-immersion experience. Your eye is relaxed, allowing you to easily use the "averted vision" technique to study faint details across a huge field-of-view. The 82° Series eyepieces come with a twist-up rubber eye-guard that raise to the desired height for the comfort of the observer, and as experienced astronomers know, eye comfort is critical when trying to observe at the visual limits of the telescope. To keep internal reflections to a minimum, all internal surfaces of the eyepiece barrel are flat black, as well as the edges of the lenses themselves to minimize the scattering of light within the lenses themselves. All 82° Series eyepieces are fully multi-coated and edge-blackened to produce maximum contrast.

One of the most important obstacles for the exploration of the night sky is the brightening of the night sky by artificial lights, such as streetlights. The night sky is not really dark in the vicinity of towns or cities, which reduces the visibility of objects beyond the solar system enormously. Depending on the type of the celestial object, it is possible to dramatically increase the contrast by blocking annoying artificial light. The EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC UHC filter "zeros in" on the wavelengths of so-called emission nebulae. Those objects glow in special colours - their emission lines. Those emission lines are linked to chemical elements - in this case hydrogen at 486nm and 656nm, plus oxygen at 496nm and 501nm. The EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC UHC nebula filter blocks all other colour wavelengths (and thereby nearly all of artificial light) and only the emission line of the hydrogen and oxygen can pass the filter. The result is astonishing: suddenly nebulae are visible at locations that were completely invisible from, without filters. In suburban skies, for example the Owl-nebula M97, the Veil-nebula NGC 6992 or even the bright Dumbell-nebula M27 are not clearly visible. Using this filter allows you to see nebulae and their structures in much finer detail. A must for every visual observer. The Explore Scientific nebula filters come with a individual test certificate - your guarantee to receive a premium filter.

The laser-collimator makes aligning the mirrors of a Newtonian telescope simple, fast and precise. With the laser you collimate your optics even in the dark without additional accessories. Precisely machined it fits a 1,25" focuser without tilting. The built-in projection area enables collimating even long focal length scopes in a breeze. Suitable for Newtonian, Schmidt-Newtonian and Maksutov-Newtonian teleskopes.

The TELRAD dew cap prevents the projection screen from fogging up in unfavourable weather conditions. With built-in 90° deflecting mirror for easier use in zenith position. The functionality is quite simple. If the TELRAD viewfinder is not used in the meantime, simply flip the dew cap over the viewfinder projection screen. This saves the annoying wiping off of the humidity and the viewfinder is always ready for use. The dew cap is made of impact-resistant plastic and additionally protects the viewfinder projection screen from scratches during transport. The retrofitting of the dew cap is very easy and is done by the two screws on the side.FEATURESdew cap for TELRAD projection viewfinderprojection screen cover when not in useprevents fogging of the projection screenbuilt-in 90° deflecting mirror made of impact-resistant plasticprotects the viewfinder from damageeasy installation on TELRAD viewfinderSCOPE OF DELIVERYdew cap, 1 piece 

With the introduction of the 68° Series we are pleased to make two important improvements in eyepiece manufacture, the first being 15 layer Enhanced Multi-layer Deposition (EMD™) coatings on all glass-to-air surfaces to gain maximum contrast, and waterproofing the eyepiece with the use of Argon gas purging instead of standard Nitrogen gas. Although Nitrogen is a fine choice that will last for many years, Argon is a larger molecule that maintains its protective properties over a wider range of temperatures, and is even more resistant to diffusion thereby further extending the protective waterproof environment of the eyepiece body. Through computer-optimized design, a careful selection of optical glasses, and enhanced multi-layer deposition coatings, the Explore Scientific 68° Series™ eyepieces produce long eye-relief and ensure high image-correction, a flat field, and high contrast across the entire image field. An excellent choice for those who make extended visual studies of detail with subtle variations of brightness, and for those who must wear glasses while observing. All 68° Series eyepieces are fully EMD (Enhanced Multi-Layer Deposition) coated and edge-blackened to produce superior contrast.

One eyepiece for every occasion, with very good field correction and large field of view.The BRESSER Zoom Eyepiece Deluxe covers the large focal length range from 8 to 24 mm. These are also the focal lengths most frequently used with most telescopes. Especially for instant observations, where you don't want to pack a whole suitcase full of eyepieces, the zoom eyepiece is a good choice. The Deluxe version offers with its particularly advanced optical design with 9 elements in 6 groups an even better field correction and sharpness, combined with a large apparent field of view of 40 up to 62 degrees.Always the ideal magnification on handA quick turn and the ideal magnification for you is set. The adjustment is stepless from 8 to 24 mm focal length. This eliminates the need to always change eyepieces.Comfortable viewingThe BRESSER Zoom Eyepiece Deluxe offers a large comfortable eye relief (LER) of 20 mm to the eyepiece lens. This means a comfortable view even during longer observation, an important criterion especially for people wearing glasses. The rubber eyecup can also be individually adjusted by a twisting movement.Advanced optical designTo achieve the best possible image over the entire focal length range, a particularly advanced optical design with 9 lenses in 6 groups is used. The full multi-coating on all lens surfaces also guarantees maximum light transmission. To effectively suppress unwanted reflections, all lenses are carefully blackened at the edges. Thus, the image produced offers the maximum possible contrast and image brightness.Compact and solid designThe BRESSER Zoom Eyepiece Deluxe is made entirely of black anodised aluminium. It has an extremely solid and high-quality material appearance and is long-lived, even with extensive use. The precise zoom mechanism can be adjusted safely through the rubberised adjustment ring. A white laser engraving with focal length and pointer arrow shows the current focal length setting even in low light.Achievable magnifications with common telescope focal lengths350mm: 44 - 15x400mm: 50 - 17x500mm: 63 - 21x650mm: 81 - 27x750mm: 94 - 31x900mm: 113 - 38x1000mm: 125 - 42xFEATURESDeluxe version with even better field correction and sharpnessLarge apparent field of view 40 up to 62 degreesZoom eyepiece with stepless focal length adjustment from 8-24 mmOne eyepiece covers a wide focal length rangeStepless adjustment to ideal magnificationQuick adjustment of magnification without changing eyepiecesComfortable eye relief of 20 mm (LER = long eye relief)Adjustable rubber eyecup to adjust to ideal interpupillary distanceAlso very suitable for eyeglass wearersCompact and solid designMade entirely of black anodised aluminiumAluminium dust cap with threadVery high-quality material appearancePrecise and robust zoom adjustment mechanismRubberised grip surface for zoom adjustmentWhite laser engraving with focal length and pointer arrowFocal length range 8-24 mm freely adjustableOptical design: 9 lenses in 6 groupsAll lens surfaces have full multi-coatingEyepiece sleeve diameter: 1.25 inches / 31.7mmFilter thread in sleeve: M28 x 0.6 mm (standard 1.25'' filter thread)Eyepiece weight: 315 gLength of eyepiece: 102 mmDiameter: 52 mmColour: blackSCOPE OF DELIVERYDeluxe zoom eyepieceMetal dust cap for eyepiece lensPlastic dust cap for eyepiece sleeve
