Ernst Abbe invented the orthoscopic eyepiece in 1880, and it has become a favorite of amateur astronomers ever since. Its field lens consists of a cemented triplet matched to a single plano-convex eye lens. Orthos are close to perfect eyepieces that have excellent eye relief, nearly non-existent chromatic or spherical aberration, have a fairly flat, wide field of view (40 to 50 degrees), and have little internal reflection. Ortho eyepieces remain one of the best for nearly all amateur telescopes. (From http://www.astro-tom.com/telescopes/eyepieces.htm)
