This TMB-style 58-degree wide-angle planetary eyepiece is designed to offer a broader field of view than standard designs, making it easier to keep planets centred and to observe fine surface details. The HD designation points to its optical coatings and construction, which aim to reduce chromatic aberration and improve contrast. Whether you are observing lunar craters, Jupiter's cloud bands, or Saturn's rings, this eyepiece provides a practical upgrade for your telescope. With a choice of focal lengths from 2.5mm to 9mm, you can match magnification to your telescope's specifications and the target you wish to study.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFeatures and Construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"TMB 58-degree wide-angle planetary HD eyepiece in black for astronomical telescopes\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US14\/3879\/2025-10-19\/original-image\/1621217245055.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis eyepiece is built around a 4-group 6-piece optical formula, a common configuration for planetary eyepieces that balances image sharpness with a comfortable eye relief. The 58-degree apparent field of view is wider than many standard eyepieces, helping to avoid the 'tunnel vision' effect. The black housing is compact and lightweight, suiting most telescope focusers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOptical Design\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 4-group 6-piece structure is paired with HD-grade optical coatings. These coatings help improve light transmission and reduce flare. The 58-degree field provides a pleasing balance between immersion and edge-to-edge clarity, making it suitable for observing planets at high magnifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eViewing Comfort\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn exit pupil distance of 16mm and exit pupil diameter of 9mm are specified. Eye relief is sufficient for users who wear glasses, and the soft rubber eyecup (where present) helps block stray light. The 9mm exit pupil diameter is a measure of the beam of light exiting the eyepiece, relevant when matching to your telescope's exit pupil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eUses and Placement\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"TMB 58-degree wide-angle planetary HD eyepiece in black for astronomical telescopes\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US14\/3879\/2025-10-19\/original-image\/1621217245056.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis eyepiece is designed primarily for planetary and lunar observation. It works best with telescopes that have a long focal ratio (e.g., f\/8 or longer), though it can be used with shorter ratios. The wide-angle design reduces the need to adjust the telescope mount frequently.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePlanetary Observation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith focal lengths from 2.5mm to 9mm, this eyepiece is tailored for high-power views. Use the shorter focal lengths for observing Jupiter's Great Red Spot, Saturn's Cassini Division, or the Moon's intricate crater fields. The 58-degree field ensures that the planet stays in view even at high magnification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMulti-Focal-Length Selection\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe range of available focal lengths allows you to select the magnification that best suits your telescope and the seeing conditions. A 2.5mm eyepiece will provide very high magnification, ideal for steady nights, while a 9mm eyepiece offers lower power for locating targets or observing larger objects like the Moon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBenefits and Buying Value\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"TMB 58-degree wide-angle planetary HD eyepiece in black for astronomical telescopes\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US14\/3879\/2025-10-19\/original-image\/1621217245057.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoosing the right eyepiece is a cost-effective way to improve your telescope's performance without purchasing a whole new instrument. This TMB-style eyepiece offers a specific combination of wide field, HD coatings, and multiple focal lengths that enhance the viewing experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eVersatility Across Telescopes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the eyepiece comes in many focal lengths, you can build a set that works across different telescopes if you have more than one. The standard 1.25-inch barrel fitting (implied by typical TMB eyepieces) means it should be compatible with most modern telescopes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eValue for Observers\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe price point of this eyepiece makes it accessible for hobbyists looking to move beyond basic eyepieces. The combination of 58-degree field and HD coatings provides noticeable improvement in clarity and viewing comfort, especially for planetary targets where detail matters most.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"TMB 58-degree wide-angle planetary HD eyepiece in black for astronomical telescopes\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US14\/3879\/2025-10-19\/original-image\/1621217393227.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"5mn5u0-4f","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ TMB eyepiece 4mm","offer_id":57528948883838,"sku":"CJBG113190403CX","price":63.88,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ TMB eyepiece 5mm","offer_id":57528948916606,"sku":"CJBG113190405EV","price":63.88,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ TMB eyepiece 6mm","offer_id":57528948949374,"sku":"CJBG113190406FU","price":63.88,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ TMB eyepiece 2.5mm","offer_id":57528948982142,"sku":"CJBG113190401AZ","price":63.88,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ TMB eyepiece 7.5mm","offer_id":57528949014910,"sku":"CJBG113190408HS","price":63.88,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ TMB eyepiece 9mm","offer_id":57528949047678,"sku":"CJBG113190410JQ","price":63.88,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ TMB eyepiece 3.2mm","offer_id":57528949080446,"sku":"CJBG113190402BY","price":63.88,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ TMB eyepiece 4.5mm","offer_id":57528949113214,"sku":"CJBG113190404DW","price":63.88,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ TMB eyepiece 8mm","offer_id":57528949145982,"sku":"CJBG113190409IR","price":63.88,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ TMB eyepiece 7mm","offer_id":57528949178750,"sku":"CJBG113190407GT","price":63.88,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0995\/0150\/6942\/files\/1621217245057.webp?v=1781017713","url":"https:\/\/lindenmere.co.uk\/products\/astronomical-telescope-accessories-tmb-eyepiece-58-degree-wide-angle-planetary-hd-eyepiece-for-observing-moon-jupiter-saturn-planets-black","provider":"Lindenmere.co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
