Key features ORION
- Fully multi-coated to ensure maximum light transmission
- Includes a detachable winged rubber eyeguard to block out stray light and help position your eye
- Superior coating dramatically improves both brightness and contrast, increasing visibility
- One-year limited warranty
- This premium 10mm eyepiece is parfocal so you need only minimal refocusing when switching powers
- Model: Orion 10mm Ultrascopic, 1.25" Eyepiece
Review Orion 10mm Ultrascopic, 1.25" Eyepiece / ORION:The Ultrascopic eyepiece series offers unsurpassed image fidelity. Rather than having a single layer of magnesium fluoride on most lens elements, Ultrascopics are Ultra Multi-Coated, meaning that every air-to-glass lens surface is vacuum coated with multiple antireflective layers. There is no higher level of multi-coating. These coatings, coupled with a low-reflection barrel with blackened lens edges, improves both brightness and contrast of faint nebulas and galaxies. These premium 1. 25" eyepieces employ 5- or 7-elements using high-refractive-index glass. Each produces a wide 52-degree apparent field of view (49-degree for the 35mm). Internally threaded for filters. |

- Model: Tele Vue 25mm Plossl 1.25" Eyepiece.
Review Tele Vue 25mm Plossl 1.25" Eyepiece. / Tele Vue EAP250: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 to reduce astigmatism and lateral color at the field's edge, TeleVue Plossls deliver sharper images than any other brand of 4 or 5 element "Plossl" or Orthoscopic designs. 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 maximumm image detail. The sharper field focuses faint star light into perceptible points and allows those with undriven mounts to gaze longer before repositioning the image. |

Review Tele Vue 4mm Radian 1.25" Wide Angle Eyepiece with 60 Degree Field of View & Long Eye Relief. / Tele Vue ERD040: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. |
