Tele Vue 5mm Nagler Type 6 Eyepiece - 1.25" - EN6-050

Tele Vue 5mm Nagler Type 6 Eyepiece

Tele Vue Nagler Type 6 eyepieces are based on the initial Nagler design and have been improved for an optimized viewing experience. These 7-element eyepieces are made with exotic glass, have 1.25" barrels and sport a comfortable 12mm of eye relief.  Besides their superb optics and lovely 82 degree apparent field of view, the Type 6 Nagler's are parfocal, and all weigh about the same—about a half pound—making it easy and fast to change eyepieces when you want to raise or lower magnification.  

Regardless of the Type, Tele Vue Nagler eyepieces are a run-away favorite with amateur astronomers all over the world. With their eye-opening field of view, great eye relief, and amazingly sharp optics, it is no wonder that Al Nagler's "Space Walk" eyepieces are some of the most coveted telescope accessories of all time.

To see the relative size difference between a 50 degree and an 82 degree eyepiece, lay a penny and a half dollar down on the table side by side. The difference is huge—the half dollar has almost three times the area of the penny! Al Nagler wanted to give his customers an experience that would be similar to looking at an object with the naked eye—except with lots more magnification!— and the 82 degree Nagler’s definitely hit the mark. After awhile, you will forget that you’re looking through an eyepiece at all, and you’ll feel fully immersed in the experience.

All Nagler eyepieces have blackened lens edges, anti-reflection threads and rubber eye guards for maximum contrast. A 100% full field visual inspection on Tele Vue’s flat-field test instruments guarantees the performance of every Nagler eyepiece.

Type 6 Nagler Eyepieces

Tele Vue Nagler Type 6 Eyepieces are designed with all of the features savvy amateur astronomers have come to expect over the years, including that “Space Walk” 82 degree apparent field of view and quality optics that reveal super sharp, high contrast images. Starting at a very short 2.5mm focal length, the Type 6 Nagler eyepieces are great for high magnification planetary and lunar views on a variety of instruments, and work great with today's popular short focal length refractors.

All Type 6 Nagler eyepieces have a comfortable 12mm of eye relief.  They are also parfocal, which means you can switch between focal lengths with little or no changes in focus.  

These quality Tele Vue eyepieces are also Dioptrx compatible when used with the optional DNA-6000 adapter, allowing you to correct for near- or far-sightedness with the unique Dioptrx diopter system.
