Product Details
GSO’s SuperView eyepieces have earned a strong reputation among astronomy enthusiasts for delivering excellent wide-field views at an affordable price. Designed for deep-space and low-power observations, these eyepieces offer an expansive apparent field of view between 60° and 68°, all while maintaining a lightweight profile that won’t upset your telescope’s balance.
Available in both 1.25" and 2" formats and a variety of focal lengths from 10mm to 50mm, the SuperView lineup delivers sharp, high-contrast images. The optics are engineered to reduce chromatic aberration and distortion, with a flat field of view and generous eye relief for comfortable observing sessions.
Each eyepiece is fitted with a textured rubber grip and a fold-down rubber eyeguard to block stray light. Lenses are fully multi-coated for improved brightness, and blackened edges further boost contrast. Each unit includes two protective end caps.
GSO products are widely respected in the astronomy community and are often sold under major brand names. A solid performer, this eyepiece is a valuable addition to any observing kit
