A 100-degree field of view means you can see a wider area of the sky through the eyepiece. This can be particularly useful for observing large celestial objects or groups of stars.
Argon purging is a process that replaces the air inside the eyepiece with argon gas. This makes the eyepiece waterproof and prevents internal fogging, protecting the internal components from moisture and particulates.
Multilayer deposition coatings are applied to the optical surfaces to enhance light transmission and reduce reflections. This results in brighter, clearer images with improved contrast.
This eyepiece features a 3" barrel, which is a common size for many telescopes. However, it's always best to check the specifications of your telescope to ensure compatibility.
A high refractive index means that light is bent more sharply as it passes through the glass. This allows the eyepiece to deliver sharper, more detailed images of celestial objects.
