Tele Vue Ethos 6mm Ultra Wide Angle Eyepiece (1.25" & 2")

The 6mm Ethos Eyepiece is the higher-magnification member of Tele Vue 's remarkable Ethos collection, the first astronomical eyepieces with 100° apparent fields of view.  

A 100° apparent field of view is a truly astounding number by any astronomical standard.  Given that your 'mind's eye' can concentrate upon approximately 50° of a viewing field at once, doubling that amount results in a view that you could feel like you're "just falling into".  For any given magnification, an Ethos will show a whopping 50% more sky than the previous widest oculars.  Sharpness is inherent to the Ethos' optical design, and contrast is maximized through intelligent use of flat baffle finishes and ultra low reflectivity, high-efficiency coatings tuned to the composition of each element.

The Ethos does the job of many eyepieces, delivering the true field sizes of longer focal length, narrower apparent field eyepieces with the benefits of higher power and darker sky backgrounds.

The 6mm Ethos fits 1.25" and 2" focusers or visual accessories.  Though it has a very respectable 15mm of eye relief, it accepts Tele Vue's DIOPTRIX eyepiece astigmatism correctors so that even astigmatic viewers can observe without having to use their glasses.
