TeleVue Eyepieces
In 1980, the 13 mm Nagler eyepiece made its debut and amateur astronomers welcomed the use of the new telescope accessory, the first of its kind to have a wide field of view and produce sharp images. Al Nagler founded TeleVue Optics in 1977 and since that time, TeleVue eyepieces have evolved to a line of Plössls, Radians, and Panoptics in addition to Naglers. TeleVue eyepieces come with multi-coated lenses, blackened edges, and anti-reflection threads. Because of the quality and reputation of TeleVue eyepieces, discontinued models have become a collector's item. According to CEO Al Nagler, TeleVue eyepieces are never discontinued due to lack of sales, but only in instances where an eyepiece can be improved. The original “Wide Fields” and Nagler type 2 eyepieces often sell for more than their original price tag.
