TMB 6 mm SWA 58 Degree TMB Planetary
The "TMB 6mm" primarily refers to the popular TMB Planetary II 6mm eyepiece for telescopes, known for good value, wide 58° Field of View (FOV), decent sharpness for its price, and comfortable eye relief, offering brighter, easier viewing than orthoscopics or Plössls, though genuine ones are better than many clones. It's a compact, 1.25" diameter eyepiece with fully multi-coated optics, popular for planetary and lunar viewing, delivering solid performance often compared favorably to more expensive options like Orion Expanse or Tele Vue Radians.Key Features & Characteristics:

Field of View (FOV): Around 58-62 degrees (wide-angle).
