Description

Just as Delos eyepieces were developed based on Tele Vue's Ethos eyepiece design advancements, DeLite is the logical step toward a smaller, more economical and lightweight version of Delos. The 62° apparent field DeLite retains the pure optical quality of Delos along with 20mm eye-relief, unique sliding, locking eyeguard, and is Dioptrx-ready. 

All models have 1¼" barrels and are parfocal with Tele Vue's 1¼" Plössl, Panoptic, Nagler, and Delos eyepieces. Named DeLite because that best describes the viewing experience, the name also recognizes designer Paul Dellechiaie's work. Available in 18.2, 15, 11, 9, 7, 5, 4, and 3mm focal lengths, the DeLite series is a delightful addition to Tele Vue's visionary line of eyepiece developments.

Nicholas ★★★★★

I was skeptical about the weight savings, but this eyepiece is noticeably lighter than my older wide-angles, making balancing on my dob so much easier. The 62° field feels natural and sharp to the edge, perfect for long sessions without fatigue.

Isabella ★★★★★

The eye relief is fantastic for someone who wears glasses—I can see the full field without smashing my eyelashes against the lens. It’s also noticeably more compact than my old 15mm, so it doesn’t throw off the balance of the scope. Took it out two nights in a row and the view stayed crisp to the ed

David Y. ★★★★☆

I was pleasantly surprised by how wide the field of view is for such a compact eyepiece. The 62° apparent field makes scanning the Milky Way feel immersive without weighing down the focuser. Only wish it came with a slightly taller eyecup for eyeglass wearers.
