The Celestron OMNI eyepiece series is known for its quality workmanship, solid optical performance and very good price/performance ratio. The 15mm model represents a great compromise between magnification, image brightness and field of view width, making it the ideal for moon and planet viewing, brighter deep-sky objects and general night sky orientation.
Key Features:
Focal length: 15 mm - versatile magnification for a wide range of objects.
Field of view: approximately 50° - provides a naturally wide image without feeling cramped.
1.25″clamping diameter - compatible with most common binoculars.
Multi-element achromatic design - provides sharp and contrasty images.
Multiple anti-reflective layers (fully coated) - for good light transmission and glare reduction.
Blackened internal threads and metal body - minimize reflections and increase eyepiece life.
Comfortable eye relief - suitable for most users, even for prolonged viewing.
Recommendations for use:
The 15 mm eyepiece is ideal for:
Moon and planetary viewing - sufficient magnification for basic detail and clear images.
Bright deep-sky objects - such as globular clusters, planetary nebulae or smaller galaxies.
Beginners and advanced users alike - a great all-purpose eyepiece for any kit.
All common telescope types (refractors, Newtons, catadiopters) - very wide compatibility.
Notes: The 15 mm eyepiece often forms the ideal middle ground between low and high magnificationm - is excellent as a "basic" eyepiece for everyday observing.
Comparison with other eyepieces:
12 mm / 10 mm - higher magnification for close-up viewing.
20 mm / 25 mm - lower magnification for a wider view of the sky.
32 mm or more - suitable for deep-sky and object search.
