Description
Introduced at the 2007 Northeast Astronomy Forum (NEAF), Tele Vue once again broadened the amateur astronomer's perspective on the universe with: 100° of pure TeleVue quality. The field area of this eyepiece is more than 50% larger than the 82° field of the Nagler eyepiece design. The Tele Vue Ethos is essentially multiple eyepieces, delivering the true field size of a longer focal length, narrower apparent field eyepiece with the benefits of higher power and darker sky background.
In 1¼" mode, if you use Tele Vue's "high-hat" 2"-1¼" adapter, the 8mm Ethos will be parfocal with Tele Vue's Plössls, Radians, Type 6 Naglers, Nagler Zooms, 1¼" Panoptics and 6mm ETHOS. Further, its light weight and small diameter makes the 8mm suitable for anyone using a binocular viewer. Another application is for spotting scope set-ups with the Tele Vue 60° 1¼" diagonal.
