Product Description
This is a very good medium to low power (depending on the focal length of your telescope) eyepiece for lunar observing, viewing emission and reflection nebulas in their entirety, etc. It has a rubber grip ring for comfort in cold weather. It provides a big 5.55mm exit pupil with an f/4.5 Dobsonian reflector for rich field scanning of the Milky Way star clouds in Sagittarius from a dark sky site.
An excellent choice to replace the so-so 26mm eyepiece that comes with many moderately-priced scopes. The 25mm TeleVue Plössl was top-rated in a recent test report of 31 eyepieces in Sky & Telescope magazine as being the best in its focal length.

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)

I purchased this eyepiece earlier this month - November 2nd to be precise. It is intended to be used with my 4" refractor but to date has not been used. The weather & sky conditions here in Kentucky are not so good, but sooner or later I'll have the opportunity to use it. It's a Tele Vue and that's all that needs to be said . I wanted a FOV as big as I could have without spending a large sum of money on the more expensive and heavier Tele Vue eyepieces and also avoid the balance problems that would come with the heavier eyepieces .

I use this as my finding eyepiece when locating object once the scope completes slewing. I find its eye relief adequate and a great value at the price. You can spend more on other brands but this a great place to start your viewing sessions. Plossl eyepieces represent the majority of my existing eyepieces as the are good quality and good price (Posted on 11/3/2018)

Excellent eyepiece! The craftsmanship is amazing. I have tried many eyepieces over the years and I have found Televue's to be some of the best. This is my most used eyepiece which I used with a 8" f/6 Dobsonian telescope. (Posted on 10/12/2018)

A step above the other 25mm plossls I've tried for sure. Images are brighter and sharp right to the edge. Good eye relief and makes a great 8.6 Plossl with 3x Barlow. (Posted on 8/4/2017)
