18.2mm TeleVue DeLite Eyepiece (62 deg.)

These are more modern versions of the old Radian eyepieces, whose designs are based on the new Ethos (just like the Delos eyepiece family). However, the field of view is smaller than the Ethos and Delos, so the prices are much more favorable due to the fewer and smaller diameter glass materials.

They are characterized by excellent contrast, light transmission, and wind correction, along with a 62 degree field of view. The image quality is comparable to the best Ortho eyepieces (e.g. Takahashi Abbe), but here the field of view is significantly larger and the view is royally comfortable. We recommend them primarily for fanatical lunar/planetary binary observers, but they are also excellent eyepieces for observing deep-sky objects.
