Description: | The Tele Vue Ethos eyepieces have pushed the boundries of optical excellence and maximum field of view, creating an unrivaled eyepiece experience. The Tele Vue 6mm Ethos is the latest in the Ethos family of eyepieces, providing an even higher magnification than the original 8mm.
An important benefit of the combination of large apparent field of view and shorter focal length is that for a given field in the sky, higher magnification results in a darker sky background. Fainter stars become visible and more detail is seen on all deep sky objects. The Tele Vue Ethos eyepiece provides another big magnification/contrast jump, yielding dramatic views simply not previously possible in any telescope. With the smaller exit pupil, eyesight limitations are also reduced.
The Televue 6mm Ethos delivers: 100° apparent field (50% larger in area than 82° Naglers), comfortable eye-relief, accepts DIOPTRX eyesight astigmatism correctors, distortion correction, high contrast and on-axis sharpness for planetary viewing. It is the “do-it-all†eyepiece perfect for all scopes that can utilize this focal length. |
