SWAN: how many comparable EPs at this price?
The Swan eyepieces are super wide angle designs with 72°
apparent field of view. They use simple but sophisticated
five-lens optical systems for generally higher contrast than the
more complicated optical designs used in some other super wide
angle eyepieces that use up to eight lenses. All lenses are
fully multicoated for high light transmission. Lens edges and
internal field stops are blackened to reduce internal
reflections and improve contrast. The eyepiecerubber grip ring
is useful for safer handling of the heavier 2” eyepieces in cold
weather when wearing gloves. The eyepieces have soft roll down
rubber eyecups for eyeglass use. They can be used for all types
of observing, with all telescope types, but they are recommended
for use with focal ratios up to f/6 and above. Dust caps are
provided for both ends of each eyepiece. A soft protective
drawstring-equipped velvet storage bag is standard equipment
with each.

at 72 deg. F.O.V. will leave you speechless!
For day and night! A very useful focal length which every user
