Product Description
This is a very good medium power eyepiece for lunar observing, resolving globular clusters, picking up detail in the more compact emission and reflection nebulas, etc. This 15mm focal length is a good eyepiece for filling in the gap between the 26mm eyepiece that comes standard with most scopes and a high power planetary/binary star splitting eyepiece.
It has a short eye relief that will limit the field for eyeglass wearers. Those who must wear eyeglasses while observing due to severe astigmatism would probably be better off using a Barlow and a longer focal length eyepiece with longer eye relief to reach this focal length, rather than buying this eyepiece for use on its own.

What can I say, it’s a Tele Vue! Great build quality and optics. Have appreciated the upgrade from the other plossls I have, and not badly priced for the quality. (Posted on 10/17/2019)

Very sharp and clear EP. Excellent color rendition. In my mind, this is the sweet spot for a high quality plossl like the TV - 15mm is the perfect balance of power and comfortable eye relief! (Posted on 11/16/2018)
