Designed for mid to long focal-ratio telescopes

The Sky-Watcher Super MA series is optimised for telescopes with slower focal ratios (typically f/8 and above). On these systems, the eyepiece provides crisp, controlled images with minimal distortion, making it particularly well suited to refractors and many Maksutov and Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes.

Comfortable viewing & practical design

The fold-down rubber eye shield helps block unwanted light and provides a more comfortable viewing position — especially useful when observing under street lighting or during longer viewing sessions. The standard 1.25" (31.7mm) barrel means it fits securely in the most common focusers and diagonals without the need for adapters.

Why choose the Sky-Watcher Super MA Eyepiece?

• Excellent performance for the price
