TeleVue Delos 12mm 72° 1.25″ Eyepiece
Premium Wide-Angle Eyepiece for Advanced Astronomy
The TeleVue Delos 12mm eyepiece represents an excellent choice for astronomers seeking a combination of high-quality imaging and comfortable observation. Thanks to its advanced construction, it delivers straight, virtually distortion-free images with neutral color rendition across the entire field of view. The 72° field of view provides a pleasant wide-angle perspective of observed objects, while the 20mm eye relief ensures comfortable viewing even during extended telescope sessions.
Exceptional Optical Performance
The optical quality of this eyepiece is ensured by advanced multi-coating on all optical elements, which minimizes light loss and reflections. The UWA construction (Ultra Wide Angle) guarantees sharp imaging right to the edge of the field of view, which is particularly important when observing extended objects such as nebulae or star clusters. The rubber eyecup is practically designed as foldable, allowing comfortable use for both observers with glasses and without them.
