Description

The short-focus Levenhuk Ra LER 6mm, 1.25" eyepiece will be a good addition to any astronomy enthusiast toolkit of optical accessories. It provides high magnification and a good 55° view for any telescope. It is ideal for planetary observations. Due to the 1.25" barrel diameter, this eyepiece is compatible with most telescopes of all brands.

The eyepiece renders a high-resolution image both at the edges and in the center of the field of view. Using this accessory, chromatic and field aberration occurs, and glare is minimized. The long eye relief is sufficient for observing the entire field of view.

The eyepiece features a fold-down rubber eyecup. The eyepiece's body is made of aluminum.
