The 6mm Delos eyepiece with its 72 degree apparent field and a generous 20mm eye relief should be popular with refractors and 1200mm class Dobsonian telescopes. 

It was a crisp and clear night in the early spring of 2011 when we had our first chance to try the 6mm Delos. Using a TeleVue TV-102 refractor, we compared the view of Saturn against an older 6mm Radian eyepiece. The Delos was clearly superior in terms of both the sharpness and contrast of the image. Since that time we have had numerous occasions to side by side test the Delos against other eyepieces, and we have always been impressed by the contrast offered up by these eyepieces.

The Delos was conceived as a narrower field Ethos. We think it might be TeleVue's best eyepiece to date. Reducing the field to 72 degrees allowed freedom to increase eye relief, while controlling pupil aberrations, all without making the eyepiece too large. With Ethos performance standards as benchmarks, the Delos design achieves full field sharpness, virtually perfect theta distortion mapping, and color neutrality. Image fidelity is maximized utilizing glass matched multi-coatings and anti-reflection surfaces throughout the eyepiece.

Contrast is further enhanced with a new, continuously adjustable height eyeguard system that can be locked in any position. Since the Delos eye-lens measures a quite large 35mm in diameter, preventing stray light from reflecting off the first surface and extraneous light from entering your eye pays off in a nice increase in perceived contrast. The eyeguard's sliding action allows for positioning the soft rubber eyeguard at the ideal height to suit the observer's preference. Indicator marks on the eyepiece body are handy reference guides for setting your perfect position. The eye-guard can also rotate for Dioptrx users.
