Fitted Boxed Set
BRANDON eyepieces are noted for their exceptional contrast and extremely dark background, two reasons why Questar Corp. has been using them since 1971 Using Brandon eyepieces, you will also notice a significant difference in the background darkness immediately surrounding a bright object, especially important for planetary or double-star observing. In addition, lunar detail such as the bands of Aristarchus are much better defined. The famous BRANDON oculars incorporate the original optical designs of Chester Brandon, and are acclaimed by leading astronomers as unquestionably the finest ocular set in the world. The top performance of your telescope will be fully realized and appreciated only when the eyepiece is BRANDON. Four element designs give a flat, beautifully correct wide 50° field of view. Precision metal parts are black anodized for antireflection and machined to standard 1 ½" diameter. Parfocal mechanical designs - no need to refocus when changing eyepieces. Threaded at the base to accept all VERNONscope Mounted Glass Filters. Available with Questar Threads
