Omegon SWA 15mm, 1.25 Eyepiece

The Omegon SWA series represents a new milestone in super wide angle eyepieces. These new eyepieces, equipped with a fresh look and an innovative internal design, are a significant departure from their predecessors. The Omegon SWA eyepieces now feature higher grip rubber armour and new, more comfortable eyecups, enhancing the observing experience.

In terms of optics, the Omegon SWA eyepieces are composed of five glass elements arranged in three or four groups, depending on the focal length. This optical configuration provides a 70-degree apparent field of view with excellent edge definition and virtually no distortion. The human eye can comfortably encompass this wide field of view without the need to "look around" the eyepiece. These eyepieces can also be used with relatively fast, short-focus telescope systems.

The new wide-band multi-coating employed in the Omegon SWA eyepieces has further improved light transmission. Additionally, all lens edges are blackened, and the internal baffle system effectively reduces scattered light, ensuring a high-contrast image. Only high transparency glass surfaces and reduced reflections can deliver such a remarkable level of image quality.

The Omegon SWA series offers a diverse selection of eyepieces, including 38mm, 32mm, 26mm, 20mm, 15mm, and 10mm focal lengths. The 38mm, 32mm, and 26mm eyepieces are 2-inch models, making them ideally suited for deep-sky observations and providing expansive true fields of view. The shorter focal lengths, 20mm, 15mm, and 10mm, come equipped with a 1.25-inch barrel.

Super wide angle eyepieces have long been renowned for their exceptionally wide apparent fields of view, which have enabled the "space walk" effect, akin to the view through a spaceship window. With the introduction of the Omegon SWA series, this captivating experience has become a reality.

Powerful eyepieces for fast telescopes, the Omegon SWA models are designed to work seamlessly with a variety of telescope systems, including those with relatively short focal lengths and fast focal ratios. This versatility makes them a valuable asset for amateur astronomers who seek to explore the vast expanse of the night sky with unparalleled immersion and clarity.

In conclusion, the Omegon SWA series represents a significant advancement in super wide angle eyepiece technology. With their refined aesthetics, enhanced ergonomics, and superior optical performance, these eyepieces offer a transformative observing experience, bringing the vastness of the cosmos closer than ever before.
