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
Larger than the full Moon in the sky, but faint. Best at lowest magnification in dark skies.
