However, with the 2.6-meter VLT and 268-megapixel OmegaCAM camera, the observatory is able to capture huge swaths of sky at a time -- no need for stitching here.

You can choose different colors and mirrored or non-mirrored, but all are packaged with matched low and high VLT duos to cover sunny days, overcast days, and days when you get both sun and late day flat light.

And while mirrored lenses can look pretty cool, the option has a purpose, reflecting sun and thus decreasing the VLT so you can get the contrast benefits of the rose or amber color while using it in sunnier conditions.
