Description

Introduced at the 2007 Northeast Astronomy Forum (NEAF), Tele Vue once again broadened the amateur astronomer's perspective on the universe with: 100° of pure TeleVue quality. The field area of this eyepiece is more than 50% larger than the 82° field of the Nagler eyepiece design. The Tele Vue Ethos is essentially multiple eyepieces, delivering the true field size of a longer focal length, narrower apparent field eyepiece with the benefits of higher power and darker sky background.

The 17mm ETHOS is an ideal complement to the 31mm Nagler Type-5. They are parfocal (both have focus locations about 3/8" above shoulder) and the 31mm Nagler Type-5 has exactly twice the true field area.

Grace ★★★★★

The view through this eyepiece is just incredible—those 100 degrees really do make you feel like you're floating in space. I can finally see the entire Veil Nebula without having to nudge the telescope. Definitely worth the wait to get one.

Ruby ★★★★★

The eye relief is generous enough that I can use it comfortably with my glasses on, and the edge-to-edge sharpness is remarkable for such a wide field. It’s made my sessions with the moon and double stars far more immersive.

Daniel ★★★★★

I was blown away by the 100° field of view on this eyepiece—it feels like you're floating in space. The views are incredibly sharp right to the edge, which makes scanning star fields a real treat.
