2. Wide Field of View:

   • Super Wide Angle (SWA): This eyepiece offers a 67° apparent field of view, significantly wider than standard Plössl eyepieces, making it perfect for observing extended celestial objects like star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies.

   • High-quality optics crafted in Japan are known for excellent control of chromatic aberration and delivering crisp views across the entire field of view.

4. Barrel Size:

   • The body is metal with a black anodized finish for durability and aesthetic appeal.

6. Eye Relief:

   • Comfortable Eye Relief: Offers a good amount of eye relief (approximately 15mm), making it easier to use, even for those who wear glasses.

7. Use Cases:

   • Ideal for viewing medium to large celestial objects such as the Moon, planets, and deep-sky objects like star clusters and nebulae.
   • The wide field of view makes it especially suitable for scanning the sky and observing large swathes of space without frequent adjustments.

Performance and Observing Experience:

• The Meade SWA 24.5mm eyepiece is known for delivering sharp, high-contrast images across the entire field of view, with minimal edge distortion.
