The 100° Series 30mm is the largest and most immersive eyepiece in the Explore Scientific lineup — a 3" barrel design delivering the widest possible views with a 100° apparent field of view. This is not a conventional eyepiece; it is a premium wide-field instrument that transforms how you see the sky. Large nebula complexes, Milky Way star clouds, and sweeping star fields fill the eyepiece from edge to edge with a panoramic sense of depth that smaller eyepieces simply cannot create.
The premium multi-element optical design maintains sharp, well-corrected images across the full 100° field. The 3" barrel format delivers maximum light throughput and the widest true field of view achievable, making the most of large-aperture telescopes. Argon-purged waterproof construction keeps the optics sealed and clear through temperature swings, dew, and humidity — a practical advantage for an eyepiece that will spend long hours at the telescope during deep-sky sessions.
At $999, this is a serious investment — but comparable hyper-wide-field eyepieces from Tele Vue carry similar or higher price tags without waterproof construction. For observers who prioritize the wide-field deep-sky experience above all else, the 100° 30mm delivers it at the highest level.
