Great eyepiece for this beginner. I?ll save my nickels and dimes and order the 10mm Delos then I?ll be set.

Performs exactly as I had hoped. Super sharp clarity and, as a glasses-wearer, the eye relief is WONDERFUL!

I use this is my 10in F/5 Newtonian. Stars look like their sitting on black velvet and are round out to the edge of the FOV. The slide up eyecup makes setting the eye placement easy every time. Would recommend.

Great Tele Vue Ethos eyepiece. I use it when the seeing in my particular area is above average. 100 degree view is just incredible!

Fantastic eyepiece. The views of Jupiter are incredible. Cassini division in Saturn rings is easily visible. I recommend this eyepiece for planetary observation

I purchased the 17.3 Delos for a new telescope (f5 12.5" Newtonian reflector) because I have been using one for several years at my astronomy club's observatory, and found it to be an excellent telescope on a fast (f3.5 16", plus Paracorr) Newtonian. Sharp stars to the edge, nice balance of field flatness and distortion (very low in both cases). Great eye relief.

I absolutely love this Delos Eyepiece. It is very crisp sharp I am very impressed with televue optics only complaint wish they were cheaper. The eye relief is great and the images are great the eyepiece adjusts easy for your eyes compared to the explore scientific 82 series I can say the contrast maybe a little more on the es but the Delos is more crystal clear tack sharp and just a joy to look though.

Not much to say here - these the best EPs money can buy.

This is the best eyepiece I've used with my 4 inch refactor. The images are clear and sharp across the field. It is now my favorite eyepiece and I will defiantly add another Delos to my collection!

I purchased this eyepiece at the suggestion of the rep at Televue. After quick delivery and waiting out two rainstorms I was upset that I spent the money for this piece. I read the instructions and read where this line of EP's adjust for Astigmatism. I tried it on the next clear night and was amazed! I saw Saturn with the utmost clarity after I made the adjustment. I saw the gap in the rings and bands around the planet. This one is a keeper and may be accompanied by the rest of the set!

Tele Vue Delos 17.3mm

Over the years, Tele Vue has established itself as a leader in the field of optical equipment, and the 6mm Delos 72 deg. Apparent Field Eyepiece with 20mm Eye Relief is a testament to their commitment to quality and innovation. This high-performance eyepiece is specifically designed for detailed, high-power celestial observation, offering a unique blend of wide-angle viewing and long eye relief.
The Delos 6mm eyepiece boasts a 72-degree apparent field of view, providing a broad and immersive visual experience when scanning the night sky. This wide-angle view is coupled with a generous 20mm eye relief, ensuring comfortable viewing even during extended stargazing sessions.
Designed as a narrower field alternative to the renowned Ethos eyepieces, the Delos model offers increased eye-relief while effectively controlling pupil aberrations. This careful design consideration ensures that the eyepiece doesn't become overly large, maintaining a user-friendly size and weight.
Drawing on the high performance standards set by the Ethos range, the Delos eyepiece delivers full field sharpness, virtually flawless theta distortion mapping, and color neutrality. This results in an eyepiece that offers superior image fidelity, enhancing your celestial viewing experience.
The eyepiece utilizes glass matched multi-coatings and anti-reflection surfaces throughout its construction, maximizing image clarity and contrast. The eyeguard system is continuously adjustable in height and can be locked in any position, providing a customized viewing experience.
The Delos eyepiece also features a large 35mm eye-lens diameter, effectively preventing stray light from reflecting off the first surface and blocking extraneous light from entering your eye. This thoughtful design feature enhances perceived contrast, delivering crisp and clear celestial images.
The eyeguard's sliding action allows for optimal positioning of the soft rubber eyeguard, catering to the observer's preference. Indicator marks on the eyepiece body serve as handy reference guides for setting your perfect position. Furthermore, the eye-guard can also rotate, making it a suitable choice for Dioptrix users.
In summary, the 6mm Delos 72 deg. Apparent Field Eyepiece with 20mm Eye Relief from Tele Vue is a versatile, high-quality, and innovative addition to any telescope setup, designed to enhance your stargazing experience.
