- Coma-Correcting Optics: Built-in correction delivers sharp, pinpoint stars all the way to the edge of its ultra-wide 86° field, especially in Newtonian telescopes.
- Ultra-Wide 86° Apparent Field: Provides an immersive, space-walk viewing experience with expansive views ideal for deep-sky observing.
- Glow-in-the-Dark Focal Length Marking: The illuminated marking makes it easy to identify the eyepiece at night without ruining your dark adaptation.
- Broad Telescope Compatibility: Works best with Newtonians and slower f/6+ telescopes, while avoiding fast refractors and coma-free designs where correction isn’t needed
Houdini 12mm Coma-Correcting Eyepiece - 1.25 inch
Discover the Houdini 12mm 86° Coma-Correcting Eyepiece, a premium eyepiece engineered to deliver ultra-wide, sharp, high-contrast views with minimal aberrations. Designed to tame coma and maintain a flat, distortion-free 86° field of view, it excels in Newtonian and long-focal-ratio telescopes; bringing crisp detail to expansive star clusters, intricate nebulae, and the lunar surface from edge to edge!
Its easy-to-use design ensures comfortable viewing during long observing sessions, with no need for spacing adjustments or separate coma correctors. Simply insert the eyepiece, bring it into focus, and enjoy immersive, pinpoint views across the entire field.

Highlights
- Well-corrected ultra-wide 86° field with sharp star images across the field
- Fast f/3 Newtonian optics compatible
- Comfortable 19 mm eye relief with foldable rubber eye cup
- Multi-coated optics and high transmission glass
- Blackened edges for minimized stray light
- Flat field requiring less than 0.5 diopters of accommodation across the field
- Low distortion delivering constant magnification
- Comfortable rubber grips
- Filter-threaded 1.25 in barrel
- Safety kerfs that do not lock, slip, or tilt
- Eyepiece cap with glow in the dark focal length markings
Will it work in my telescope?
- The Houdini eyepieces were designed for Newtonian telescopes with parabolic mirrors, but they will also work well with any telescope with a focal ratio of f/6 or slower (f/8, f/10, etc.). This includes slow refractors and most popular Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes.
- The eyepiece is not recommended for use with fast telescope systems without parabolic mirror, such as f/5 APO refractors.
The Magic of Houdini eyepieces
These Houdini eyepieces are an innovative upgrade that elevates any stargazing experience. Designed specifically for Newtonian telescopes, it features built-in coma correction that eliminates the need for a separate corrector, resulting in a lighter, simpler setup and sharper, clearer views across the field.
Developed by passionate amateur astronomers, Houdini eyepieces deliver exceptional performance for both beginners and experienced observers. In fast f/4 Newtonians, the integrated coma correction dramatically improves edge performance, reducing star images near the field edge to one-fifth the size seen in standard eyepieces and removing the comet-like tails caused by parabolic coma.
