The Explore Scientific 62° Series combines a generous 62-degree apparent field of view with waterproof, argon-purged construction, giving observers a noticeably wider and more immersive view than standard eyepieces while maintaining excellent sharpness and comfortable eye relief. It is a popular first upgrade for stargazers who want to step up from the eyepieces supplied with their telescope.
With fully multi-coated optics designed for bright, high-contrast images, the 62° Series performs well on everything from the Moon and planets to open clusters and brighter nebulae. A wide selection of focal lengths makes it easy to cover low, medium and high magnification with a consistent look and feel across your eyepiece case. Rugged, sealed construction helps protect against dew, dust and fogging, so these telescope eyepieces stay ready for years of observing at home, at dark-sky sites and at star parties.
The 62° Series is a smart step between basic eyepieces and our ultra-wide 82° and 100° lines, offering a noticeably wider view while remaining lightweight and affordable. Many observers build a core set of three to four 62° eyepieces spanning low, medium and high power, then add a focal extender to double their options. These eyepieces work well in refractors, Newtonian reflectors, Dobsonians and Maksutov-Cassegrain telescopes. Whether you are upgrading a beginner telescope or assembling a dependable grab-and-go eyepiece kit, the 62° Series delivers consistent quality and comfortable viewing for every session.
