Eyepieces

Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun, half the size of Earth, and is the closest it will be for astronomical viewing until the year 2018. Mars Madness is upon us, so what’s a person to do? Buy and review some Televue eyepieces of course!

The dynamic duo’s latest planetary offering.

"I decided to buy both the Tele Vue 19mm Panoptic($240) and 10mm Radian($240) 1.25” format eyepieces and try them out on my optically very excellent Celestron Starhopper 8 inch f/6 Dobsonian scope, of 1219.2 mm focal length, which was manufactured about 10 years ago."

My 1 ¼ inch Tele Vue eyepiece collection was recently upgraded as I went on an "eyepiece hunt" for another Tele Vue eyepiece at a local telescope dealer in the San Francisco Bay Area...

Which of these will I pick?

The mammoth 31mm Nagler from Televue “must” be included in every serious visual astronomers eyepiece collection.

I am sure you have heard the bad-mouthing that Chinese imports sometimes get. Here is an eyepiece that proudly wears its country of origin.

In the late spring of 2005 an S&T advertisement by Orion caught my eyes for a line of wide-field eyepieces with a 68-degree AFOV and 20mm of eye relief...

Will they ever bcome as well respected as Naglers?

When you read the descriptions about the Celestron 19mm 2" Axiom ep, you get the impression you are getting a top quality eyepiece for under $200.00. Could this really be the case?

A nicely done, bargain priced eyepiece designed for rather special duty.

The search for bargain glass continues...
