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.

John ★★★★★

I was pleasantly surprised by how much lighter this eyepiece feels compared to my older Delos, making it much easier to balance on my scope. The 62° field is plenty wide for sweeping through star fields, and the eye relief is generous enough that I don't have to squish my glasses against the lens.

Olivia H. ★★★★★

The 18.2mm focal length hits that sweet spot for lunar observing—crisp across nearly the entire field. At 62°, the eye relief is generous enough that I don’t have to mash my glasses against the lens. It’s noticeably lighter than my old Delos, which makes swapping eyepieces mid-session a lot less fid

David ★★★★★

I swapped out my old 18mm for this one and immediately noticed how much lighter it feels on the focuser. The 62° field is crisp right to the edge, and eye relief is generous enough to keep my glasses on comfortably.
