The latest additions to our 82° series of premium waterproof eyepiece all offer long eye relief to provide a comfortable viewing experience for all observers. For eyeglass wearers in particular, a long relief is a must because it allows them to enjoy the full field of view.

  Like the other eyepieces in our 82° series, these three new eyepieces are super-wide class oculars that can make your observing experience truly immersive by revealing startling expanses of the night sky.

  In addition to offering long eye relief, these eyepieces offer the following benefits:

  • Super-wide views that make it easier to explore large subjects, locate objects and observe with fewer tracking adjustments

  • Lenses made of low-dispersion glass with a high refractive index and fully multi-coated with durable enhanced multi-layer deposition (EMD) coatings that generate brilliant images with sharp contrast and crisp definition

  • Housings that are O-ring sealed and purged with an inert gas for a waterproof environment that is impervious to internal fogging and prevents contaminants like fungus and dust from entering

  • Foldable soft silicone rubber eyecups that provide the most comfortable viewing experience

  • Filter thread on the backside that allows for use of moon or light filters

  Whether you’re looking to delve into the details of our solar system or explore inspiring deep sky treasures, the versatile FirstLight series has an observing package that will fit your individual needs.During our Thanksgiving Harvest Sale, you can save on most of the FirstLight telescope packages while supplies last.

  Each of the combinations in this line comes complete with all of the essentials — a telescope, a sturdy mount, an eyepiece and a red dot viewfinder. The FirstLight telescope offerings include achromatic refractors ranging in aperture from 70mm to 152mm, Maksutov Cassegrains from 100mm to 152mm, Newtonian reflectors from 114mm to an impressive 203mm and Dobsonian options. Mounts vary from a simple fork-mounted alt-azimuth option to a complete GOTO tracking system. As an added benefit, each package includes an adapter that allows you to use your smartphone to easily capture and share the beauty unfolding in your eyepiece. With FirstLight, the only thing you need to provide is a desire to discover.

  Because it captures large amounts of light, a Dobsonian telescope is an ideal workhorse for deep-sky enthusiasts and a great instrument for getting highly detailed views of our planetary neighbors.
  Although the size of these large aperture telescopes can appear daunting, the truss tube structure is made from aluminum for maximum rigidity with a minimum of mass. These telescopes can be broken down and transported easily even in small cars and reassembled within minutes without tools. The combination of big altitude wheels and an optimized aluminum-sandwich construction allows for small movements even at high magnifications.
  Each of our truss tube Dobsonians comes with a 2” dual-speed focuser with helical gearing and a soft light baffle to limit interference from stray light sources.
