So, whether you're looking for the faint arms of a spiral galaxy or a minor division in Saturn's rings - Brandons perform best.

Some may question why Brandons aren't multicoated. The truth is that several sets using 7-layer multicoatings were made and showed no improvement over the standard design. One reason not to multicoat is to eliminate or greatly reduce a phenomenon known as "narrow angle light scatter". Multicoatings have narrower angle scatter than standard eyepiece coatings. You can see this effect on bright objects like Venus, Mars or Jupiter. It significantly interferes with low contrast detail.

With Brandon eyepieces, there is a significant difference in the background darkness immediately surrounding a bright object. This is especially important for planetary or double-star observing. In addition, lunar details such as the bands of Aristarchus show better definition.

Since 1991, Brandon lenses have been made (in America) on the latest optical generating equipment and highly polished to avoid cosmetic defects. All Brandon eyepieces are assembled at Vernonscope's Binghamton, NY facility where they are examined in detail in the metrology laboratory, and must also pass several severe optical testing procedures, thus assuring consistent high quality.

Leave the world of ordinary eyepieces behind and step up to Brandon!

The famous BRANDON oculars incorporate the original optical designs of Chester Brandon. Their remarkable contrast places them among the favorite eyepieces of their fortunate owners. The top performance of your telescope will be fully realized and appreciated only when the eyepiece is BRANDON.
