Control of astigmatism, field curvature, lateral color, angular magnification distortion correction, and low pupil sensitivity for daytime use were specified criteria.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing Tele Vue’s philosophy of pushing the state of the art, long-time Tele Vue employee and optical design protégé Paul Dellechiaie took up the challenge and designed the basic eyepiece form. Under Al’s guidance, Paul tweaked his design to fulfill the original goals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile sharpness is inherent to the optical design, contrast is maximized through the intelligent use of flat finished baffles and ultra low reflectance, high efficiency coatings tuned to the composition of each element.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduced at the 2007 Northeast Astronomy Forum, Tele Vue once again broadened the amateur astronomer’s perspective on the universe with: 100° of pure Tele Vue quality. The field area of this new eyepiece is more than 50% larger than an 82° field. The Tele Vue Ethos is essentially multiple eyepieces, delivering the true field size of a longer focal length, narrower apparent field eyepiece with the benefits of higher power and darker sky background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe invited NEAF attendees to take a look and see the universe the way we think it was meant to be experienced, with a field of view incredibly wide and sharp! We were very pleased indeed by the response and validation of our design goals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"woocommerce-Tabs-panel woocommerce-Tabs-panel--local_1 panel entry-content\" id=\"tab-local_1\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"tab-title-local_1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eModel number: ETH-04.7\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFocal Lenght: 4.7 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBarrel Size: 2″ \u0026amp; 1.25″\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eApparent Field of view: 110°\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEye Relief: 15 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeight: 1.3 lb\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eField Stop: 8.94 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn the Box\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"woocommerce-Tabs-panel woocommerce-Tabs-panel--local_2 panel entry-content\" id=\"tab-local_2\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"tab-title-local_2\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEyepiece\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCaps\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eManuals \u0026amp; Warranty \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTele Vue Lifetime Warranty\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6245\/2965\/files\/4.7mm-Ethos-Eyepiece-Instructions.pdf?v=1669933999\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e4.7mm Ethos Eyepiece Instructions\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6245\/2965\/files\/Tele-Vue-Eyepiece-Specifications-2.pdf?v=1669924225\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eTele Vue Eyepiece Specifications\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Tele Vue","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43125694824677,"sku":"TV-ETH-04.7","price":1043.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6245\/2965\/files\/tele-vue-ethos-sx-4-7mm-eth-04-7-astronomy-plus-1_b1a62af2-2f0f-48f8-a9b8-87f953afd50d.jpg?v=1690483918","url":"https:\/\/istronomyplus.com\/products\/tele-vue-ethos-sx-4-7mm-eth-04-7","provider":"Astronomy Plus – Telescopes \u0026 Astrophotography Canada","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
