Explore Scientific LER 52° 6,5 mm, 1,25″ (AR) eyepiece review
The Explore Scientific 52 ° eyepiece line went on sale in mid-2018. It is represented by eyepieces with a focal length of 3, 4,5, 6,5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 40 mm.
In my opinion, the greatest interest for observing the planets and the moon is represented by the values of 3 mm, 4,5 mm and 6,5 mm – they are made according to the “negative doublet + Plossl” scheme.
Explore Scientific LER 52 ° 6,5 mm, 1.25 “(AR) eyepiece came to my test.
