Deep-sky eyepiece for long-focus scopes
The Celestron Omni 56 mm Plössl is a 2-inch barrel eyepiece built for amateur astronomers and seasoned stargazers who want wide-field views of large deep-sky objects. Its four-element, fully multi-coated optical design delivers sharp, high-contrast images with a 47° apparent field of view. A generous 52 mm eye relief makes extended observing comfortable, even for eyeglass wearers.
Ideal for nebulae and clusters.
This eyepiece suits observers who prioritise expansive, low-power vistas of star clusters like the Pleiades, nebulae such as the Lagoon and Orion, and galaxies including Andromeda. Buyers who need higher magnification for resolving planetary surfaces or tight double stars should look at shorter focal-length eyepieces instead.
Verify your focuser accepts 2-inch barrels
Before ordering, confirm that your telescope’s focuser or diagonal accommodates a 2-inch barrel diameter. The eyepiece is crafted for scopes with longer focal lengths, such as Schmidt-Cassegrain and EdgeHD models, so check that your instrument’s focal length matches the low-magnification, wide-field intent of this optic.

Questions about this item
Does my telescope need a 2-inch focuser to use this eyepiece?
Yes, the eyepiece has a 2-inch barrel diameter, so your telescope must accept 2-inch accessories for it to fit and work properly.
Can I keep using my existing 47-degree apparent field eyepieces alongside this 56mm model?
Yes, you can swap between eyepieces with the same 47° apparent field of view; the 56mm focal length will simply provide lower magnification and a wider true field.
How do I know the 52mm eye relief is actually giving me the full field of view?
With 52mm eye relief, you should be able to position your eye — even with glasses on — far enough back to see the entire 47° apparent field without vignetting.
