Control of astigmatism, field curvature, lateral color, angular magnification distortion correction, and low pupil sensitivity for daytime use were specified criteria.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing Tele Vue's philosophy of pushing the state of the art, long-time Tele Vue employee and optical design protégé Paul Dellechiaie took up the challenge and designed the basic eyepiece form. Under Al's guidance, Paul tweaked his design to fulfill the original goals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile sharpness is inherent to the optical design, contrast is maximized through the intelligent use of flat finished baffles and ultra low reflectance, high efficiency coatings tuned to the composition of each element.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduced at the 2007 Northeast Astronomy Forum, Tele Vue once again broadened the amateur astronomer's perspective on the universe with: 100° of pure Tele Vue quality. The field area of this new eyepiece is more than 50% larger than an 82° field. The Tele Vue Ethos is essentially multiple eyepieces, delivering the true field size of a longer focal length, narrower apparent field eyepiece with the benefits of higher power and darker sky background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTeleVue invited NEAF attendees to take a look and see the universe the way they think it was meant to be experienced, with a field of view incredibly wide and sharp! They were very pleased indeed by the response and validation of their design goals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 21mm focal length completes the logical set of 21mm\/13mm\/8mm and nicely juxtaposes the 17mm\/10mm\/6mm combination. Each step within these two sets approaches a 3x field area gain. The 21mm's effective field stop diameter is 36.2mm, bringing its true field close to the 35mm Panoptic (38.7mm Field Stop diameter). Its true field is also larger than the 26mm Nagler with its 35mm effective field stop diameter. In an f\/4 Dobsonian, the exit pupil is just 5.25mm using the 21mm Ethos instead of 8.75mm with a 35mm Panoptic, or 6.5mm with a 26mm Nagler.\u003c\/span\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecifications \u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"prodSpecTblEP\" rules=\"all\" frame=\"void\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel #\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eETH-21.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFocal Length (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBarrel Size (in.)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApparent Field of View (deg.)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEye Relief (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (lb \/ oz)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.25 \/ 36.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eField Stop (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e36.2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pageSectionTitle\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pageSectionTitle\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"pageSectionTitle\"\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e","brand":"Tele Vue","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49612742492419,"sku":"U2609-WB-ETH-21.0","price":750.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1979\/5379\/products\/ETH_21.0_Ethos_21_v5_copy_103a0b9d-956e-4b9f-8a71-bb714e40b3d4.jpg?v=1636407044","url":"https:\/\/milehighastro.com\/products\/used-tele-vue-21mm-ethos-1","provider":"Mile High Astronomy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
