Why this eyepiece?
- ✓Balances detail with surrounding context
- ✓A comfortable everyday view of Double Cluster
Tradeoffs
- –Dims at this power, making faint detail harder to see
- –Loses both clusters together outside the field stop
Try a longer focal length eyepiece for a wider field
Two glittering open clusters side by side — a wide-field showpiece, breathtaking at low power in dark skies.
