Product Description
It provides a big 7.1mm 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. As the eyes of some observers may no longer be able to dilate to a full 7mm, however, this eyepiece could potentially waste some of the light-gathering capability of a fast focal ratio scope. Thought should be given to matching its exit pupil size to your eyesight before purchasing if you have a fast focal ratio scope, unless you are content to give up some light gathering in exchange for a wider view of the universe.
This is an excellent choice to replace the so-so 26mm eyepiece that comes with many moderately-priced scopes, not only to improve the edge-to-edge sharpness, but to give a wider and brighter field of view, as well. Excellent eye relief for unvignetted viewing for eyeglass wearers.

Reviews
I recently bought the TV 32 mm Plossl as an extreme low power(19x) and wide field (2.67 degrees) for my TV 85 scope. The views are as sharp and contrasty as my set of Delos EP. The “rich field” views are just stunning. In addition this EP is parafocal with both the Delite and Delos line.
Worth every penny. Highly recommended. (Posted on 7/30/2022)
What I like: very good value and performance for the price. Clear images.
What I don't like: Nothing. A larger field of view would be nice, but it's a Plossl, after all.
Summary: As with all TV products, there are cheaper alternatives, but the 32mm TV Plossl is competitively priced and produces excellent images. (Posted on 8/4/2017)
