Excerpts from Ethos 21mm Review in Sky at Night!
Tom Trusock: "First Light: TV 21mm Ethos Eyepiece". Sky at Night, (March 2010).
  • "...may just be the new crown jewel for ultra wide eyepiece lovers."
  • "Visually, the performance is stunning. The field is flat and the whole view comes to focus at the same point. The eyepiece also lacks any detectable astigmatism - stars focus to points, not crosses."
  • "...interior light baffling is excellent, so there are no problems with internal reflections or stray light."
  • "The 21mm Ethos is an amazing eyepiece: the finest (and only) 'über wide' in this focal length on the market. Its focal length is a great addition to a superb line-up..."
  • "The Ethos's field size is astounding. With the introduction of the Nagler design, it's said that Tele Vue defined the term 'spacewalk'. If that's the case, then these eyepieces redefine it. A 100º apparent field of view is, at the moment, the next best thing to being there."
  • "The optics are crystal clear. The 21mm's kilo of glass is about as close to completely transparent as one can imagine. The views are superb for any application, from deep space to lunar and planetary observing.".
  • "Verdict: Optics 100%" (1st time in publication history.)

Tele Vue Thanks Cloudy Nights Readers!
For the 3rd Straight Year Ethos Wins Cloudy Nights: Gear of the Year Award!
Ethos 21-and-10mm


Tele Vue would like to thank Cloudy Nights forum members for voting our Ethos 21-and-10mm 100° eyepieces to the top-spot in the annual search for "the best dang products of the last year."

Here's what Cloudy Nights had to say: "This is the third year running that Tele Vue has stolen the crown – and again with it's Ethos line of eyepieces. Our forum members handily voted the 21mm Ethos into the top gear spot for 2009, but they didn't stop there. The 10mm made the cut as well. The 21mm just barely squeaked into 2009, but when it landed, it landed with a splash. Yours truly was lucky enough to review one for the BBC: The Sky at Night magazine, and frankly – well, it's one of the best eyepieces this widefield junky has ever had the privilege to use."
