| Ok. So you've already purchased a telescope. Now what. One of the best ways to improve the performance of your telescope is with the addition of some quality eyepieces. TeleVue, based out of Suffern, New York produces some of the finest eyepieces currently available. And at the top of the list from TeleVue is the Nagler line. What's a Nagler you ask. A Nagler, named after Al Nagler, the owner of TeleVue, provides one of the widest fields of view of any eyepiece currently available. Additionally, images are razor sharp from edge to edge. A typical eyepiece will provide a 40 or 50 degree field of view. A Nagler on the other hand provides a whopping 82 degree field of view. Instead of feeling like you're looking through a peep hole, you'll actually have to search for the edges. So, what's the big deal you ask? Well, its simple. For any given level of magnification, a Nagler will show you more of the sky. In some cases, much more. So, large objects like nebulas and star clusters can usually be viewed in their entirety. The wide field of view is also very helpful when searching for objects. These eyepieces command a premium price, but in the opinion of many seasoned observers... they're worth it. | |
