Our Take

Let this be your first "grown up" eyepiece. Its beautiful optical quality, nice wide field, and generous eye-relief will really wow you... without breaking the bank. The wide-field will really help make star hopping and object location easier.

Description

The 32mm Plössls, with its larger 50° apparent field, will deliver the same true field as the 40mm but with higher magnification. The 32mm is parfocal with the shorter focal length Plössls.

Since the Plössls were introduced in 1980, they have won praise and patents, including a patent in Japan. Tele Vue Plössls, designed by Al Nagler, have been a recognized benchmark of performance and value in the class of 50° apparent field of view eyepieces. While the Plössls may be the least expensive TeleVue eyepiece line, they still enjoy the same care and attention to detail as the most expensive. While it's easy for other manufacturers to vie for the lowest price, Tele Vue continues to believe that quality, performance and consistency will ultimately reward you with the most value for your dollar.

Diffraction limited "on-axis" performance is a given. Using more expensive high-index glasses to reduce astigmatism and lateral color at the field's edge, Tele Vue Plössls deliver sharper images than any other brand of 4 or 5 element "Plössls" or Orthoscopic designs. The faster the focal ratio of your telescope, the greater your visual reward for using Tele Vue eyepieces. Tele Vue Plössls feature full multicoatings for greatest light transmission and contrast. Blackened lens edges and internal anti-reflection threads tweak the last bit of contrast for maximum image detail. The sharper field focuses faint star light into perceptible points and allows those with undriven mounts to gaze longer before repositioning the image.

James ★★★★★

Swapped out my starter eyepiece for this 32mm and the difference is night and day—the wide 50° field makes finding and tracking objects feel effortless.

William ★★★★★

The generous eye relief on this 32mm makes extended viewing sessions comfortable, and the wide field really does show you so much more of the sky than my old budget eyepiece. Focus is crisp right to the edge, which is a huge upgrade for me.

Isabella ★★★★★

I was blown away by the sharpness across the entire field when I used this 32mm on my scope. The wide view makes star-hopping a breeze, and the generous eye relief is a game-changer for my glasses.
