About this product
Model: ursamajor_fmc_ff_ep_15.5mm
Ursa Major FMC Flatfield Eyepiece 15.5mm
An excellent alternative to regular Plossl or Orthoscopic eyepieces.
Ursa Major FMC Flatfield eyepieces have a five to six-element optical design that provides surprisingly high performance, generous eye relief and a wide apparent field of view from 60 to 65 degrees, depending on the focal length.
Their Flatfield design with fully multicoated, edge-blackened optics reduces field curvature and enhances brightness and contrast.
The black-anodised 1.25" nosepiece has a safety taper (for a secure fit in the focuser) and is threaded to accept 1.25" astronomy filters.
Each Ursa Major FMC Flatfield eyepiece is beautifully finished with a tactile grip and a fold-down rubber eye cup for comfortable viewing.
Supplied with a lens cleaning cloth and an eyepiece bag.

I needed a small, light eyepiece for setting up and occasional observations. The Ursa Major 15.5mm is perfect for the job. I will add a couple more to my collection!
