The Tele Vue Nagler Type 7 eyepieces are the next generation of TeleVue Nagler design. Pricing is to be announced soon, and the first shipments are due in Summer 2025.
As the Tele Vue team notes, “The Nagler Type 7 series was developed as a natural extension of our highly regarded, 85°, limited edition Apollo 11 eyepiece. However, the series can also be thought of as an extension of the long eye relief Nagler Type 4 concept. With the all-new Type 7 design layout, we achieved our goal of Apollo 11-like performance across a series of focal lengths that are eyeglass friendly.”
Combining the expansive 82° apparent field of view with 19 mm of eyeglass-friendly eye relief and a large eye lens, the Tele Vue Nagler Type 7 eyepieces offer a new dimension to the “spacewalk” viewing effect. For those who don’t wear eyeglasses, an easily adjustable, locking eye-guard is included, which helps correctly position your eye to the exit pupil, preventing you from getting too close to the eye lens and blocking contrast-robbing stray light from interfering with the view.
The optical coatings and baffling features that Tele Vue eyepieces are known for are applied to maximize contrast and complement the fully corrected field, revealing beautifully natural star colors with pinpoint sharpness. The optical layout ensures unrivalled parfocality throughout the four focal lengths and even between 1¼” and 2” modes when used with the Tele Vue Hi-Hat 1¼” to 2” adapter (ASF-8125). The Type 7 series is also parfocal with all other 1¼” Tele Vue eyepieces (except for the 40 mm Plössl) when used with the Tele Vue Hi-Hat 1¼” to 2” adapter. Available in focal lengths of 5.5, 9, 14, and 19 mm, the Type 7s complement the 22-mm Type 4 and 31-mm Type 5 as eyeglass-friendly Naglers.
