Tele Vue 55mm Plossl Eyepiece

The Tele Vue 55mm Plossl Eyepiece is a testament to Tele Vue's commitment to quality and innovation since 1980. Designed by the renowned Al Nagler, this eyepiece has set the benchmark for performance and value in the 50-degree apparent field of view category. Despite being part of Tele Vue's most affordable line, the Plossl series maintains the same meticulous attention to detail as their premium offerings.

• Patented design and construction
• 50-degree apparent field of view
• Superior value for money

Advanced Optical Performance

The Tele Vue 55mm Plossl delivers diffraction-limited "on-axis" performance, ensuring crisp and clear images. By using high-index glasses, the eyepiece reduces astigmatism and lateral color at the field's edge, surpassing other 4 or 5-element Plossl or Orthoscopic designs. The faster the focal ratio of your telescope, the greater the visual reward with Tele Vue eyepieces. This eyepiece features full multicoatings for optimal light transmission and contrast, while blackened lens edges and internal anti-reflection threads enhance image detail.

• Diffraction-limited performance
• High-index glass for reduced astigmatism and color
• Full multicoatings for increased contrast

Practical and Versatile Use

The 55mm focal length offers the largest true field of view for 2" eyepiece holders, providing three times the area of a 1-1/4" eyepiece. Its focal plane is placed at the end of the barrel to minimize vignetting, making it an excellent choice for Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes. The long eye-relief and adjustable eyeguard cater to eyeglass wearers, ensuring comfortable viewing. This eyepiece is perfect for extended observations without repositioning the image frequently.

• 3x larger true field of view
• Optimal performance with Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes
• Long eye-relief and adjustable eyeguard
