TeleVue 17.3mm Delos Eyepiece

The 17.3mm Delos was the newest eyepiece from TeleVue as of March 2012. This is a focal length applicable to a broad variety of telescopes, which explains why TeleVue now offers three choices in this approximate focal length. Owners of f/10 Schmidt-Cassegrains will enjoy the bright 1.7mm exit pupil while viewing deep space objects. Owners of the ubiquitous 1200mm class Dobsonians will enjoy a true field of just over one full degree.

Introducing 17.3mm TeleVue Delos Eyepiece
The Delos was conceived as a narrower field Ethos. Reducing the field to 72 degrees allowed freedom to increase eye relief, while controlling pupil aberations, all without making the eyepiece too large. With Ethos performance standards as benchmarks, the Delos design achieves full field sharpness, virtually perfect theta distortion mapping, and color neutrality.Image fidelity is maximized utilizing glass matched multi-coatings and anti-reflection surfaces throughout the eyepiece.
Contrast is further enhanced with a new, continuously adjustable height eyeguard system that can be locked in any position. Since the Delos eye-lens measures a quite large 35mm in diameter, preventing stray light from reflecting off the first surface and extraneous light from entering your eye pays off in a nice increase in perceived contrast. The eyeguard's sliding action allows for positioning the soft rubber eyeguard at the ideal height to suit the observer's preference. Indicator marks on the eyepiece body are handy reference guides for setting your perfect position. The eye-guard can also rotate for Dioptrx users.
