Upgrade the eyepieces supplied with your telescope and enjoy a wider, more immersive view. The SVBONY 68° Ultra Wide Angle series gives visual observers a generous apparent field of view, comfortable 17mm eye relief and fully multi-coated optics in a standard 1.25″ format. Choose 6mm, 9mm, 15mm or 20mm, or build a matched set for lunar, planetary and deep-sky observing.
Why choose a 68° wide-angle eyepiece?
- Wider 68° apparent field: see more sky at once than with many basic telescope-supplied eyepieces.
- Especially useful on manual mounts: a wider field helps keep the Moon, planets and deep-sky targets in view for longer before you need to nudge the telescope.
- 17mm eye relief: comfortable viewing across all four focal lengths.
- Fully multi-coated optics: designed for good light transmission, contrast and colour rendition.
- 1.25″ filter thread: compatible with standard 1.25″ lunar, colour and nebula filters.
- Blackened optical edges and interior: help suppress stray light and internal reflections.
Which focal length should I choose?
- 20mm: lower-power views, open clusters, sweeping star fields and finding objects.
- 15mm: versatile medium power for the Moon, clusters and many brighter deep-sky targets.
- 9mm: a strong choice for lunar and planetary observing in many telescopes.
- 6mm: higher magnification for the Moon, planets and double stars when the telescope and atmospheric seeing support it.
The actual magnification depends on your telescope focal length: magnification = telescope focal length ÷ eyepiece focal length.
Ideal upgrade for Dobsonians and beginner telescopes
These eyepieces are an easy step up for observers who started with basic narrow-field eyepieces. The wider field is particularly useful with manual Dobsonian and alt-azimuth telescopes, while the four focal lengths cover a practical spread from low to high magnification.

66° or 68°?
If your priority is maximum value, see our SVBONY 66° Wide Angle Eyepieces. Choose this 68° range if you want the slightly wider apparent field and 17mm eye relief while keeping the price accessible.
Dark Clear Skies tip: if you are unsure which focal length suits your telescope, use the focal-length rule above or contact us with your telescope model and we can help you choose.
