Apertura 6mm Plossl Eyepiece - 1.25"

The Apertura 6mm Plossl eyepiece would be a great addition to your telescope accessory case. Like most Plossl eyepieces, the Apertura 6mm has a 52ยบ apparent field of view. The optics consist of 4 elements that have been Fully Multi-Coated to yield good contrast. The edges of each lens have been blackened to reduce reflections and further increase contrast.

The Apertura 6mm Plossl Eyepiece has a 1.25" chrome barrel that has been threaded to accept standard 1.25" filters, such as a neutral density filter or color filter that will help bring out features on the Moon or planets. The top of the eyepiece is fitted with a fold-down rubber eyecup, which not only makes observing more comfortable but will keep stray light from hitting the optics and lowering contrast. Finally, the Apertura 6mm Plossl has 5mm of eye relief and weighs 1.7 ounces.

Tip: Calculate the magnification this 6 mm Plossl will produce in your telescope by dividing your scope's focal length by 6. Then, to figure out the suggested maximum magnification for an observing session with normal seeing conditions for your telescope, multiply the aperture in inches by 40X to 50X. Compare the magnification this eyepiece will give you (first calculation) to the suggested max for your scope (second calculation) and make sure the number falls with that range in order to give you the sharpest views.
