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 colour at the field’s edge, Tele Vue Plössls deliver sharper images than any other brand of 4 or 5 element “Plössls” or Orthoscopic designs.

A must for deep sky fans. This good low power/wide field eyepiece has the largest true field and largest exit pupil possible for 2″ eyepiece holders-3 times the field area of any 1 l/4″ eyepiece.
Performance with Schmidt Cassegrains is remarkable since it avoids the image degradations and severe vignetting which occurs when using tele compressors.
The long eye relief and unique adjustable eye guard allows eyeglass wearers to see the full field of view even with their glasses on.
The rubber grip gives sure grip and makes it comfortable to use in cold weather.
