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.

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Claire M. ★★★★★

The eye relief on this 3mm is genuinely comfortable for extended viewing sessions, and I'm impressed by how much it reduces chromatic aberration compared to my old budget eyepiece. It's noticeably lighter and more compact than the larger options, which makes swapping between magnifications a breeze.

Matthew ★★★★★

I was a bit worried the 3mm would be too tight for comfortable viewing, but the generous eye relief makes it surprisingly easy to use. The sharpness across the entire field is noticeably better than my old budget eyepiece, and it’s light enough that it doesn’t throw off my telescope’s balance.

Aurora ★★★★★

The 3mm focal length gives me crisp planetary views even on nights with average seeing, and the eye relief is generous enough to keep my glasses on comfortably. Much lighter than my old 5mm, so swapping eyepieces feels effortless now.
