Must Have Televue Eyepieces.

[Deeno]

Can only comment on the four I have.

The 24mm Panoptic was the first purchased and is still my favourite. It occupies the most time in the focuser even though it suffers from some coma around the edges.

Love the dark contrasting views through the 13mm T6 Nagler.

My 5mm Radian is a bit much for 90% of the time for plantery viewing but, when the seeing is good. Wow!

Recently picked up a 7mm Type 1 Nagler and looking forward to playing with it.

Cheers

My husband is into buying Televue eyepieces. Of the ones we have, the most used are the 22 mm T4, the 17 mm T4, the 31 T5, 12 mm T4, and now the 13 mm Ethos. That's because these are the most useful for the focal lengths of our scopes (2350mm, 1250 mm and 600 mm). We use a 2x powermate or a 7 mm Nagler or the 3-6 zoom for when we want higher power (the latter only useful for the 600 mm scope). All great eyepieces.

For all those people with fast dobs, a Televue Paracorr will bring out the best edge to edge views in all televue eyepieces and quite a number of other good brand eyepieces as well I believe. Well worth the investment.
Sensational!!

I'm a XW fan myself as are some others here. Been using them for several
years and definitely prefer them over the nagler t6's for their on axis
sharpness and cool crisp views, actually apart from the 14mm which has
slight field curverture towards the EFOV. The rest are tact sharp from edge
to edge. I use t5's for the longer focal lengths the 20mm and 31mm t5's
are a definite must have. I also managed to try out a 16mm t5 over the
weekend, which I quite liked pitty it's in a 1.25" format.

Indeed! I use my paracorr in every scope that I have including the little 130mm newt and wouldn't want to be without it.

I firmly believe that if you are prepared to spend the money on premium eyepieces, you obviously want the best views that money can buy. If your scope is f5 or faster, you wont get it without a paracorr.

N.B. The paracorr nicely mitigates any field curvature issue in the 14 and 20mm pentaxs.
