Product Description
Orthoscopics have been a hidden gem in the astronomy field. While their field of view isn't as wow factor as the newer 82° or 100°, their field of view is 45°, well made Orthos shine when it comes to sharpness and contrast. The 4 element design requires a great polish to work at its highest capabilities. That being said, one would expect nothing less from the fabled Takahashi name. It should come as no surprise that the eyepiece has very low distortion as well as a reasonable amount of eye relief (14mm). The real surprise is that Takahashi brought out an Ortho that is so reasonably priced. Their new Starbase series will fit right at home in your eyepiece collection, and your bank account will approve as well.
