Description

TeleVue founder, Al Nagler, eagerly pushed Ethos designer Paul Dellechiaie to extend the new 3.7mm focal length to reach 110°, the same field size as the LEM Simulator optics Al designed 45-years ago to train NASA astronauts for lunar landings.

The 3.7mm Ethos-SX is designed and crafted to combine its exceedingly wide field of view with all the contrast, color-rendition, distortion correction and center-to-edge sharpness needed to achieve that natural view. With 110°, the Ethos-SX has 21% more AFOV area than the 100° Ethos design. This permits a nice 62% power increase from a 6mm Ethos, while retaining 68% of its TFOV. The 3.7mm actually has more TFOV than our 8mm Plössl, 6mm Radian, and 5mm Nagler Type-6!

In 1¼" mode, it is parfocal with the wide range of 1¼" Tele Vue Plössls, Panoptics, Radians, Naglers, Nagler Zooms, and 6mm and 8mm Ethos eyepieces. The screw-on 2" adapter (included) is designed to make it parfocal with 13mm and 10mm Ethos when they are used in their 2" modes.

Madison M. ★★★★★

The eye relief is surprisingly generous for such a short focal length, making it comfortable to use even with glasses. Jupiter's bands and the Cassini Division snapped into sharp focus across that huge field.

Ellie ★★★★★

This 3.7mm eyepiece pulls you right into the view; the 110° field makes scanning the moon feel incredibly immersive. It’s sharp right to the edge in my scope, and the eye relief is surprisingly comfortable for such a short focal length.

Alexander ★★★★★

I wasn’t sure a 3.7mm could still be comfortable, but the 110° field here is genuinely immersive—almost disorienting at first. On Jupiter, it holds sharpness right to the edge, which I wasn’t expecting at this short focal length. Definitely worth the wait.
