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.

In 1¼" mode, if you use Tele Vue's "high-hat" 2"-1¼" adapter, the 8mm Ethos will be parfocal with Tele Vue's Plössls, Radians, Type 6 Naglers, Nagler Zooms, 1¼" Panoptics and 6mm ETHOS. Further, its light weight and small diameter makes the 8mm suitable for anyone using a binocular viewer. Another application is for spotting scope set-ups with the Tele Vue 60° 1¼" diagonal.

Zoe ★★★★★

That first look at the Milky Way’s core through this eyepiece was breathtaking—the 100° field is so immersive you forget you’re looking through a telescope. Stars stay razor-sharp across the entire view, even at the edges.

Nicholas N. ★★★★★

Pulling details out of Jupiter’s cloud bands at 200x with this eyepiece feels like floating right next to the planet—the 100° field is that immersive, and the edge-to-edge sharpness surprised me even on my f/6 scope.

Daniel H. ★★★★★

The 100-degree field of view is just stunning—I can pan across the Milky Way without moving the telescope. Even with my moderate f/6 scope, the stars stay sharp right to the edge. It’s a game-changer for deep-sky observing.
