BAADER PLÖSSL 32mm EYEPIECE

The Baader Plössl 32mm eyepiece uses the same glasses and optical design as the classic Zeiss Jena eyepieces. They feature a very high transmission, very good contrast and thus a very clear field of view, free of distortions. The HT-MC multi-coating eliminates almost all internal reflections. The 32mm Plössl includes a spacer ring.

Baader Plössl eyepieces provide 50° apparent field, sharp field stops and excellent ergonomics for comfortable observing. They are parfocal so no refocusing between eyepieces is needed.

The lens assembly consists of a triplet-element and one plano-convex eye lens, so there are only four glass-air-surfaces. The interior has been blackened for a very good suppression of stray light. The hard anodised barrel has got a filter thread.

Standard Barlow elements often can not provide enough magnification for taking images of the planets. Classical eyepiece projection is the solution if you want to increase the focal length by 4x or more. The Classic Plössls provide the necessary high magnifications in combination with an ADPS (Afocal Digital Projection System - sold separately) and a compact camera with fixed lens – the eyepiece's large lens on the camera side reduces vignetting, so that you can use a larger part of the camera sensor.

The lower magnification and the resulting larger field of view make this combination very interesting for images of the surface of moon or sun (the latter only with a suitable solar filter).
