Why this eyepiece?
- ✓Frames the full galaxy in a single view
- ✓Sweeping, immersive low-power view
- ✓Wide, bright exit pupil — best under dark skies
Tradeoffs
- –Less reach to push fine detail in the galaxy's core
- –the outer spiral disk spills past the field stop
Large exit pupil may waste light
Larger than the full Moon in the sky, but faint. Best at lowest magnification in dark skies.
