Classic Plossl eyepieces are optimized for best possible contrast and image sharpness especially for observing the moon and the planets. Their orthoscopic (without distortion) properties also make them ideal for eyepiece projection photography.

Angular magnification distortion and rectilinear distortion are both held to a minimum, yielding undistorted images essential for high resolution viewing.

Image sharpness on the optical axis is better than in typical wide angle eyepieces, so more detail can be seen..

"Phantom" Full Multi-Coating:

Baader Classic Plossl eyepieces feature a state-of-the art multicoating on all glass-to-air surfaces. This "Phantom" multicoating offers a particularly high transmission.

Plossl eyepieces consist of a cemented doublet field lens group and a cemented doublet eye lens.
Cementing  lenses requires sophisticated machinery and a lot of experience, but the result is a superb image sharpness on the optical axis - better than in generic Plossls or typical wide angle eyepieces.

Only eyepieces with this precise lens layout are considered Baader Classic Plossls.

Baader Classic eyepieces come with a "wing" eyeguard to shield the eye from contrast-robbing peripheral light and have "Volcano"-shaped tops to yield improvements in eye relief at all focal lengths.

1.25" diameter, 50 degree apparent field--the widest possible in the 1.25" format.
