Note: Some recent batches of the GSO Plossl's were marked as "Super Plossls" on the eyepiece barrels. However, other than the name change, there is absolutely no difference (mechanically and optically) between the GSO Plossls and Super Plossls.
GSO's Super-Plossl eyepieces have been some of our most
popular sellers over the years. Users will experience incredible views without
breaking the bank or impinging on your telescope's balance. They represent what
is perhaps the best buy today for astronomers on a budget or for beginners. But
don’t be fooled by their low prices – these might well turn out to be all the
eyepieces you will ever need!
The GSO Super-Plossls are available in a 1.25" barrel
size and 9 different focal lengths ranging from 4mm to 40mm. The 4mm, 6mm and
9mm models are great for high power planetary and lunar observation. The 12mm and 15mm are perfect intermediate
focal lengths, performing well on both deep-sky and planetary subjects. The 20mm and 25mm models would be excellent
choices for low power scanning of open star clusters and viewing larger
galaxies. The 32mm and 40mm models offer a wide field and are superb for wide
field scanning, detailed observations of large diffuse subjects or as a finder
eyepiece.
- All eyepieces are fully multicoated (FMC) for maximum
light transmission
- High quality lenses provide the best-possible sharpness all over the field of
view
- Blackened lens edges reduce light scattering and improve contrast
- Fold-down rubber eyecups to keep out stray light
- Barrel features a safety undercut for added security
- Comfortable eye relief at all but the shortest focal lengths (As in all
Plossl eyepieces, eye relief can get tight at the shorter focal lengths but
this is design constraint, not a fault of these eyepieces)
- Includes two end caps. We also include a free bolt case with each eyepiece (a
$2.75 - $5.50 value!)
Guan Sheng Optical is a leader in optical telescopes and accessories
and their products have been sold for years by the "Big Three"
(Meade, Celestron and Orion) under their own brand names. Some other retailers
charge more than twice as much for these very same eyepieces. We are able to
offer these same high-quality optical accessories for a lot less because of our
lower overheads and markups.
Give these a try - you will not be disappointed!
