Tele Vue 3.7mm Ethos-SX Eyepiece – 1.25″ & 2″

The 3.7 mm Ethos-SX Eyepiece (the Simulator eXperience) is part of the Tele Vue Ethos Eyepiece Series.

The Tele Vue 3.7mm Ethos-SX eyepiece is designed and crafted to combine its exceedingly wide field of view with all the contrast, color-rendition, distortion correction and center-to-edge sharpness needed to achieve that natural view. Beyond the desire to simply achieve 110 degrees, the extended field of view gave Tele Vue the ability to produce a superb planetary eyepiece with a deep sky true field of view that logically fits within the rest of the Ethos eyepiece line.

With 110 degrees, the Ethos-SX has 21 percent more AFOV area than the 100 degree Ethos design. This permits a nice 62 percent power increase from a 6 mm Ethos, while retaining 68 percent of its TFOV. The 3.7 mm actually has more TFOV than 8 mm Plossl, 6 mm Radian, and 5 mm Nagler Type-6!

The 3.7mm is a 1.25″ format and is parfocal with the wide range of 1.25″ Tele Vue Plossls, Panoptics, Radians, Naglers, Nagler Zooms, and 6 mm and 8 mm Ethos eyepieces. The screw-on 2″ adapter (included) is designed to make it parfocal with 13 mm and 10 mm Ethos when they are used in their 2″ modes.
