- Model: Orion Edge On Planetary Eyepiece, 1.25"
Review Orion Edge On Planetary Eyepiece, 1.25" / ORION:Edge-On Planetary eyepieces bring flat-field performance to solar system viewing in the form of six medium- and high-magnification focal lengths. Each employs a sophisticated 7-element lens design reminiscent of exotic, high-priced oculars. This design renders an optically flat image that's sharply focused from center to edge of the wide 55-degree apparent field of view. The barrel distortion and field curvature aberrations common in standard eyepiece designs are virtually gone. Edge-On Planetary eyepieces let you push the power, whether you're canvassing the lunar terminator or studying the Jovian cloud belts. The optics are fully multi-coated for high light transmission, and each eyepiece has 20mm eye relief for viewing comfort.

Review Tele Vue 5mm Radian 1.25" Wide Angle Eyepiece with 60 Degree Field of View & Long Eye Relief. / Tele Vue ERD050:By limiting the field to 60 deg. (a Radian = 57. 3 deg. ) and establishing a uniform 20mm eye-relief, Tele Vue reworked the Nagler concept using the latest glass types to achieve optimum full field sharpness, freedom from distortion, freedom from ghosting (for critical planetary viewing) along with a unique adjustable eyeguard assembly which Tele Vue calls "Instadjust" Instadjust was developed from the need for proper eye position for non-eyeglass wearers. It is essential, since with Radian's long eye-relief, non-eyeglass wearers would easily tend to get too close to the eyepiece, resulting in vignetting the field, just as you would moving out from the exit pupil. The click-stop, Instadjust eyeguard permits fast, accurate positioning of the eye to the exit-pupil with maximum suppression of environmental stray light. Instadjust is topped off by a soft (for comfort and eyeglass protection) fold-down rubber eyeguard and protective cap. Usual Tele Vue features such as full multicoating, blackened lens edges, parfocalization, and grip-ring complement the Radian line. |

- Fully multi-coated for greatest light transmission and contrast
- Weight: 2.6 oz
- Apparent field of view: 50-deg
- Eye relief: 10mm
- Model: Tele Vue 15mm Plossl Eyepiece
Review Tele Vue 15mm Plossl Eyepiece / TELEVUE:Since we introduced our Plossls in 1980, they have won praise and patents, including a patent in Japan. TeleVue Plossls, designed by Al Nagler, have been a recognized benchmark of performance and value in the class of 50 degree apparent field of view eyepieces. While the Plossls may be our least expensive eyepiece line, they still enjoy the same care and attention to detail as our most expensive. While it's easy for other manufacturers to vie for the lowest price, TeleVue continues to believe that quality, performance and consistency will ultimately reward you with the most value for your dollar. Diffraction limited "on-axis" performance is a given. Using more expensive high-index glasses reduce astigmatism and lateral color at the fields's edge, TeleVue Plossls deliver sharper images than any other brand of 4 or 5 element "Plossl" or Orthoscopic design. The faster the focal ratio of your telescope, the greater your visual reward for using TeleVue eyepieces. TeleVue Plossls feature full multi-coatings for greatest light transmission and contrast. Blackened lens edges and internal anti-reflection threads tweak the last bit of contrast for maximum image detail. The sharper field focuses faint star light into perceptible point and allows those with undriven mounts to gaze longer before repositioning the image. |
