However, it is not that well suited to fast focal ratio reflectors. For example, it provides a huge 8.9mm exit pupil with an f\/4.5 Dobsonian reflector. As the eyes of most observers are unable to dilate to this size, this eyepiece will probably waste a good portion of the light-gathering capacity of a fast focal ratio scope. It is better suited to longer focal ratio refractors, Schmidt-Cassegrains, and Maksutov-Cassegrains than it is to reflectors with focal ratios shorter than f\/6. Using it with a 2\" star diagonal in a 2000mm 8\" f\/10 Schmidt-Cassegrain, for example, will result in 50x and a wide 1.4° field of view. That is almost three times the diameter of the full Moon and a large enough field to fit in all of the Pleiades, with room to spare. It will also work well for rich field observing with moderately fast focal ratio refractors.

With the 650mm focal length TMB-105 triplet apo, it provides 16.3x, a 6.45mm exit pupil, and a 4.3° field. On both scopes, the fields are eight to nine times as wide as the Moon.

It has a long eye relief that's particularly well-suited to those who must wear eyeglasses while observing (such as those with severe astigmatism). It is designed for use with Pentax 80mm and 100mm spotting scopes, but can also be used for astronomical observing in any telescope accepting 1.25\" accessories. One of four grooves at the tip of its 1.25\" chrome barrel engages a steel pin in the eyepiece port of the Pentax spotting scopes. This keeps the eyepiece from rotating when the knurled rubber power change collar on the eyepiece is turned to change magnifications. Be sure that the pin in the scope body is engaged properly with the eyepiece before tightening the locking collar on a Pentax spotting scope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll of the lenses in the zoom are fully multicoated with proprietary Pentax SMC (Super MultiCoated) antireflection coatings for high light transmission. They are the same coatings as those used on the most costly Pentax camera lenses. For better contrast, in addition to the inside of the barrel being blackened, the edges of all lenses have also been blackened to eliminate any internal reflections within the lenses themselves. ED (extra low dispersion) glass lens elements are used to minimize chromatic aberrations and astigmatism. The result is very good contrast and center resolution, with very little ghosting. A rubber eyecup twists in and out of eyepiece body to optimize your eye position and shield your eye from ambient light. When the eyecup is fully retracted for eyeglass use, the eye relief ranges from 12mm to 18mm, depending on the focal length selected. This allows observers with eyeglasses to see the entire field of view at low powers, where the eye relief is 18mm, although some vignetting of the field occurs at higher powers. As you generally are looking only at smaller objects that do not fill the field at higher powers, the loss of some of the field edge due to vignetting is not usually a concern. The barrel of the eyepiece in marked in both magnifications with an 80mm Pentax spotting scope and in focal lengths for astronomical observing. An index mark shows the power in use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs with any zoom eyepiece, the precise focal length or magnification of the Pentax zoom at any given point in time is not all that important. The experienced observer invariably adjusts the zoom magnification to match the seeing conditions and object size as he looks through the eyepiece, rather than first setting the zoom to an arbitrary focal length value according to the scale on the side of the eyepiece and using it at that power no matter what the seeing conditions. The flexibility of a zoom to instantly match the magnification to changing lighting or seeing conditions is one of the zoom eyepiece's chief advantages. Match that flexibility to Pentax-grade optics and you have an exceptional tool for any observer - terrestrial or astronomical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor astronomical use, the zoom is usable for medium to high power observing with telescopes of all optical designs - from long focal ratio refractors down to fast f\/4.5 Dobsonian reflectors. The eyepiece is relatively heavy and physically large, so some care is needed in balancing free-moving astronomical telescopes (such as Dobsonians) when this eyepiece is in use.

It uses seven optical elements for optimized performance across a very wide field of view. Several different extra low dispersion glass types and specialized coatings are employed for improved contrast and longer eye relief than previous Nagler designs, even those acclaimed as being among the finest wide field eyepieces available. At a usable eye relief of 12mm, the 3.5mm Nagler would normally vignette the field of view for eyeglass wearers. However, since the 82 degree field is so wide that you can't see the full field without having to move your head from side to side to take it all in anyway, vignetting in the conventional sense is not a problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 3.5mm Nagler is designed for high magnification observing with short focal length refractors and fast focal ratio\/short focal length reflectors. While it can also be used with longer focal ratio Schmidt-Cassegrains and Maksutov-Cassegrains, its exit pupil is very small and the images very dim with these scopes. For example, using it with a 2000mm 8\" f\/10 Schmidt-Cassegrain will result in 571x (71x per inch of aperture) and a 0.35mm exit pupil (about 1\/90th of an inch across).

There is a slight loss of contrast when compared to an eyepiece with fewer elements, due to the additional lenses needed to achieve the unique combination of very short focal length and very wide field of this Nagler. The loss is minimal though, on a par with the contrast loss in an eyepiece\/Barlow combination with the same effective focal length.

Several different extra low dispersion glass types and specialized coatings are employed for improved contrast and longer eye relief than previous Nagler designs, even those acclaimed as being among the finest wide field eyepieces available. At a usable eye relief of 12mm, the 7mm Nagler would normally vignette the field of view for eyeglass wearers.

There is a slight loss of contrast when compared to an eyepiece with fewer elements, due to the additional lenses needed to achieve the unique combination of very short focal length and very wide field. The loss is minimal though, on a par with the contrast loss in an eyepiece\/Barlow combination with the same effective focal length.

Contrast is also generally a little lower than you'll find in single magnification eyepieces of similar focal lengths. If these minor anomalies are not a problem for you, however, a zoom offers the convenient ability to precisely match the observing magnification to the seeing conditions, as well as offering a virtually infinite number of magnifications in a single reasonably-priced eyepiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe eyepiece has a safety groove cut into its chrome barrel that will catch the thumbscrew of your focuser or star diagonal and keep the eyepiece from falling to the ground should the thumbscrew accidentally loosen during use. The power change band on the eyepiece uses a broad knurled rubber gripping surface that makes it easy to make small power changes, even in cold weather when wearing gloves or mittens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTech Details: \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable id=\"product-attribute-specs-table\" class=\"table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWarranty\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data\"\u003e1 year\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Celestron","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40221658808393,"sku":"C824Z","price":107.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0573\/7974\/9961\/products\/8985_1.jpg?v=1662967555"},{"product_id":"0-50-diopter-dioptrx-astigmatism-correcting-lens","title":"TeleVue 0.50 Diopter Dioptrx Astigmatism-Correcting Lens","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Dioptrx accessory lens corrects for an astigmatism of 0.50 diopter. \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.909090995788574px;\"\u003e(This would be a\"CYL\" value of 0.50 in your eyeglass prescription.)  \u003c\/span\u003eThe lens rotates to match the orientation of your astigmatism, whether it is orthogonal (up and down) or oblique (at any angle intermediate between vertical and horizontal).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lens replaces the rubber eyeguard at the top of any of the following long eye relief TeleVue eyepieces only: 26mm and 31mm Nagler type 5; 22mm, 27mm, 35mm, and 41mm Panoptic; 22mm, 40mm, and 55mm Plössl; all Radians (18mm thru 3mm); and all Nagler type 4 (22mm, 17mm, and 12mm).
