This is especially noticeable when your telescope does not have a drive, like a Dobsonian or a refractor on a grab and go mount like the Explore Scientific Twilight I. Another great benefit of hyper-wide eyepieces is the ease with which you can gaze, not directly at an object, but slightly to either side. This skill, called using averted vision, is especially helpful when observing faint objects, because using averted vision puts the image on a part of your eye that is more sensitive to light, allowing you to see fainter images.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!--end tab--\u003e\u003c!--start tab--\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spanrow\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"speccell speccell-left\"\u003eItem Number\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"speccell\"\u003eEPWP12009–01\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spanrow\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"speccell speccell-left\"\u003eFocal Length\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"speccell\"\u003e9mm\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spanrow\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"speccell speccell-left\"\u003eLength\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"speccell\"\u003e145mm\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spanrow\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"speccell speccell-left\"\u003eWidth\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"speccell\"\u003e60mm\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spanrow\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"speccell speccell-left\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"speccell\"\u003e21.2oz; 602g\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spanrow\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"speccell speccell-left\"\u003eBarrel Size\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"speccell\"\u003e2.00\"\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spanrow\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"speccell speccell-left\"\u003eEye Relief\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"speccell\"\u003e12.5mm\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spanrow\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"speccell speccell-left\"\u003eField Stop Diameter\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"speccell\"\u003e15.7mm\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!--end tab--\u003e\u003c!--start tab--\u003e\n\u003ch1 id=\"video\"\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ntg78ZHu93U\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!--end tab--\u003e","brand":"Explore Scientific","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67916818415926,"sku":"EPWP12009-01","price":899.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0828\/1558\/2518\/files\/120_9mm.png?v=1793807739"},{"product_id":"99-reflective-2-diagonal","title":"99% Reflective 2\" Diagonal","description":"\u003c!--start tab--\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Explore Scientific 2-inch Dielectric-Coated Diagonal Mirror comes complete with 1.25-inch Adapter and dust covers.

The Galileoscope Refractor Telescope STEM Kit offers a powerful combination of educational value and observational capability in a compact, accessible format. Originally created as a signature project for the 2009 International Year of Astronomy, this 50mm refractor telescope kit has become a globally respected tool for introducing students and enthusiasts to astronomy and optical science. The kit includes all parts and instructions needed to build a functional telescope, with no tools or adhesives required. In just minutes, users can assemble a high-quality instrument capable of revealing craters on the Moon, Saturn’s rings, Jupiter’s moons, and star clusters. With a 25x eyepiece and a modular accessory that can be configured as either a 2x Barlow lens (for 50x magnification) or a 17x Galilean eyepiece (for upright views with a narrower field), this telescope gives users the chance to recreate the views of Galileo himself and understand the optics behind them. In addition to its optical performance, the Galileoscope is a powerful STEM teaching tool. It offers students the opportunity to learn how lenses work, how magnification changes the field of view, and how scientific observation starts with hands-on curiosity. Whether used in classrooms, science fairs, or backyard stargazing sessions, the Galileoscope is a proven way to engage learners and encourage a lifelong interest in space and science.

You may be startled at the amazingly wide expanse of inky black sky you behold the first time you bring your eye to a 100° Series eyepiece, and after awhile, you may even forget that you have an eyepiece between you and the universe! With an apparent field of view that is close to the maximum for hyper-wide eyepiece design, objects are not only easier to locate, but for non-driven telescopes the object will stay in the field of view for a very long time before any adjustments need to be made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother great benefit of hyper-wide eyepieces is the ease with which you can gaze, not directly at an object, but slightly to either side.
