TeleVue Delos 14mm 72° 1.25″ Eyepiece
Premium Optical Performance for Demanding Astronomers
The TeleVue Delos 14mm eyepiece represents an excellent choice for astronomers demanding superior optical quality in a compact design. This eyepiece from the Delos series combines a 72° apparent field of view with a comfortable 20mm eye relief, ensuring comfortable observation even for eyeglass wearers. Every optical, mechanical, and ergonomic aspect has been redesigned to achieve reference performance standards for any visual applications.
Advanced Optical Design and Engineering
The Delos eyepiece concept was created as a narrower version of the renowned Ethos series. By limiting the field of view to 72°, the designers gained freedom to increase eye relief while controlling pupil aberrations without making the eyepiece too large. With the performance standards of the Ethos series as a benchmark, the Delos design achieves sharpness across the entire field, virtually perfect distortion mapping, and color neutrality. Image fidelity is maximized through the use of custom multi-coated glass and anti-reflective surfaces throughout the eyepiece.
Enhanced Contrast and User Comfort
Contrast is further improved by a new continuously adjustable height eyeguard system that can be locked in any position. Since the eye lens of the Delos eyepiece measures a substantial 35mm in diameter, preventing scattered light reflection from the first surface and external light from entering the eye pays off with a nice increase in perceived contrast. The sliding action of the eyeguard allows positioning of the soft rubber guard at the ideal height according to observer preferences. Marks on the eyepiece body serve as practical reference guides for setting your perfect position.
Versatile Performance for Various Observing Applications
The TeleVue Delos 14mm eyepiece is an ideal choice for observers seeking a combination of wide field of view with excellent optical quality. Its medium focal length makes it a versatile tool for observing various objects, from planetary details to more extensive deep-sky objects. The advanced coating system ensures maximum light transmission and minimal light loss through reflective surfaces.
