5mm Type 6 Tele Vue Nagler Eyepiece
  • 82 degree apparent field of view seems almost boundless
  • Features exquisite sharpness, contrast and comfort

Looking through a Nagler eyepiece is like taking a spacewalk. That's because the 82° apparent field of view seems almost boundless: you have to move your eye around to take in the entire scene. The exquisite sharpness, contrast, and comfort — in addition to the monster AFOV — make Naglers the eyepieces of choice for advanced amateur and professional astronomers.

Nagler eyepieces belong in the equipment arsenal of every serious planetary and deep-sky observer.

This eyepiece's 7-element Nagler Type 6 design is based on the original patented Nagler design. This new 7-element design update for the short focal length Nagler deserves its own designation. Using different exotic materials, coating processes, and design ingenuity, Al has massaged more eye-relief, contrast, and true field of view into the shorter focal length Naglers, while maintaining the absolute sharpness of the originals. Eye relief is 12mm.

5mm Type 6 Tele Vue Nagler Eyepiece
Reviewer: Craig
I've only had it for a month and so far i'm not to impressed though I haven't had the best viewing conditions. Even on the clear nights, its not that much different (if any at all) from the 6mm orion explorer 2 that i bought for $30. Will update if things improve.
