Description
Russell Optics & Machine is known world-wide for making the most affordable dollar-value high-performance Telescope eyepieces for a couple of decades now , and it is true. We sell directly to the consumer, no middle-man markups or "suggested retail" pricing structure . We get great deals on high quality lenses, machine the spacers and barrels in-house from *Delrin, and sell direct to you at HUGE savings.This 24mm
2
inch Super-Wide eyepiece is a
n excellent
mid-high power eyepiece with an amazing 64 degrees FOV . The lenses used are high quality & multi-coated yielding excellent sharpness and contrast !
It is built using the
Classic
3
-element RKE/Kelner design eyepiece.
Here you get a wide-field eyepiece in a simple RKE design with 64+ degrees AFOV
in a
2
" format and at
a price that is a fraction of what similar performance would cost elsewhere. Russell Optics makes eyepieces to "Look through" not to look "at" and
we keep it simple, no fancy boxes, no fancy engraving... just good quality lenses in professionally
machined
barrels made from the space-age polymer *Delrin orig
inally developed for the NASA space program.
I consider this a great "budget" wide-field because of the simplicity in design that makes it easier and more affordable to produce. This design does prefer scopes with an f/ratio of f/7 and slower, but yields very good performance in any scope for the price. You just can't find a 2 inch W/F eyepiece for less.
