Tele Vue EAP080 8mm Plossl 1.25" Eyepiece

The Tele Vue Plossl 8mm Eyepiece, designed to Al Nagler's exacting standards but at an affordable price, has the shortest focal length in the series to offer the maximum magnification for close-up and deep-sky observations. Its broad 50 Degree apparent field of view is made possible by using diffraction-limiting high-index glass lenses in a 4-element/2-group arrangement that maintains light on-axis and eliminates astigmatism and edge-aberrations. The optical components are combined with fully multi-coated optics, blackened lens elements, and anti-reflection threads to enhance contrast and transmission while minimizing light loss. This model of the Plossl series is parfocal with all Tele Vue Group 'B' eyepieces, allowing you to change compatible eyepieces without having to refocus-saving time and limiting vibrations. The eyepiece features a standard 1.25" barrel to be consistent with the most common size of focuser and accessories, with a convenient fold-down rubber eyecup.
