Description

Levenhuk Ra LER 3 mm is a short-focus eyepiece for planetary observations. It is a great accessory for Newtonian reflectors, catadioptrics, and apochromatic refractors. In general, it is a universal eyepiece compatible with a wide variety of optical systems. It features a good field of view and does not distort the rendered picture. The quality of the rendered image is high: there are no field aberrations or magnification chromatism.

The eyepiece's fully multi-coated optics are made of glass. The eye relief is sufficient to cover the entire field of view. The eyecup is made of rubber, and it can be folded or unfolded, if necessary. The body is made of aluminum.

The eyepiece can be installed on any telescope with a 1.25" focuser.

hi! Is it suitable for Sky-Watcher BK 1149EQ2? Is it in stock right now? Thank you!

Customer service:

Unfortunately, Levenhuk Ra LER 3 mm Eyepiece is not suitable for use with your telescope. It is better to use 4mm or 5 mm eyepiece to obtain the highest practical power of the instrument.

does this eyepiece fit Sky-Watcher BK 705AZ3?

Customer service:

Unfortunately, it doesn't. Using this eyepiece with your telescope, you will exceed the maximum useful magnification of the model. Images will get blurry.

Hi there, is this eyepiece suitable for iOptron Astroboy? Image quality will be alright? Maybe it's better to take a 4-mm one?
