Explore Scientific 6.5mm 52° Argon-Purged Waterproof Eyepiece

Explore Scientific's 6.5mm 52° Series eyepiece reveals incredible views of planets, nebulae, star clusters, and more. Faint, deep-sky objects are shown with stark clarity against a dark sky thanks to the EMD coatings. The flat field even at the edge makes the 6.5mm eyepiece excellent for averted viewing, which is crucial when observing dim deep-sky objects such as nebulae.

The 1.25" barrel makes the 6.5mm eyepiece compatible with many drawtubes and accessories. The textured barrel offers slip-resistant grip, even when wearing gloves.

This Explore Scientific eyepiece features an argon-purged, waterproof exterior that protects internal elements from moisture. In fact, internal elements will remain as pristine as the day they were assembled. This also makes cleaning the 6.5mm 52° eyepiece effortless. There is no risk of cleaning solution migrating from the top of the lens and seeping around edges to be trapped in between elements.

Natalie G. ★★★★★

Took this out on a clear night after a week of rain, and the 6.5mm focal length pulled Jupiter’s bands into crisp focus even with my modest scope. The waterproofing is a nice bonus since I often leave it on the mount overnight, and the 52° field feels roomy for a short-focal eyepiece.

John ★★★★★

The argon purging gives me peace of mind during humid nights, and the 52-degree field is surprisingly immersive for a 6.5mm. Jupiter's bands and the Orion Nebula have looked crisp and contrasty through my 10-inch scope.

Benjamin B. ★★★★★

Saturn's rings snapped into crisp focus the first clear night I used this, and the 52° field made sweeping the Milky Way feel almost effortless. The argon purging gives me real peace of mind for those dewy observing sessions.
