Comments:

 

The orthoscopic design is famous for planetary observations since a long time. By using just e few lenses between the object and the observer this design allows maximum sharpness on the optical axis, but also good sharpness at the edges. A drawback is just the eye relief, which is comparable to those of the standard Plossl design, and which makes the eyepieces not suitable for eyeglass wearers.

The Baader orthoscopic eyepieces are of fine quality. They are blackend inside, a really good manufactured field stop, which makes the edges of the apparent field of view as sharp as a razor blade and suppress reflexes very effective.
