Product Description

All models have 1¼" barrels and are parfocal with TeleVue's 1¼" Plössl, Panoptic, Nagler, and Delos eyepieces. Named DeLite because that best describes the viewing experience, the name also recognizes designer Paul Dellechiaie's work. The DeLite series is a delightful addition to TeleVue's visionary line of eyepiece developments.

Just as Delos eyepieces were developed based on TeleVue's Ethos eyepiece design advancements, DeLite is the logical step toward a smaller, more economical and lightweight version of Delos. The 62° apparent field DeLite retains the pure optical quality of Delos along with 20mm eye-relief, unique sliding, locking eyeguard, and is Dioptrx-ready.

7mm DeLite: a success story.

I have an exotic Takahashi f/15 60mm refractor. There’s a lot of chatter on Cloudy Nights etc. about how well an expensive Orthoscopic or Plossl eyepiece works on challenging objects.

I’m in no position to downplay the performance of an expensive 7mm orthoscopic. The lack of ergonomic eye-relief nixes their utility for me.

My 2.5x Powermate and good 18mm Ortho works well. Very well. But that porky Powermate with a mostly-brass T-V Plossl is a heavy combo.

Using the 7mm DeLite on Saturn at 129x in my 60mm Tak, I see jet black sky right up to the globe of the planet. Scattered light? I don’t think so.

Eye relief is glorious. The adjustable eyeguard is something I didn’t understand until I bought one. It works superbly. The 7mm DeLite is quite a bit lighter than the bare 2.5x Powermate. So it’s easier to keep my little scope in balance.

As my mount is undriven, the DeLite’s apparent field of view (62°?) is a blessing. At f/15, Saturn is razor-sharp out near the edge of field.

It’s a truly remarkable eyepiece. I’m tempted to say I’m delighted with it. Let’s instead say that I’m over the moon with it. (I’m in Victoria, BC).

TeleVue 7.0 Delite

As a glasses wearer, I found some tunnel vision viewing through this eyepiece, even thought the eyepiece has a 20mm eye relief. Less of a problem using it without glasses. The view is very sharp edge to edge, though narrow as expecting for a 62 degree apparent field of view. I choose this eyepiece based on eye relief, size and weight for use with a portable 70mm telescope. So, does the job and happy with my purchase!

Named DeLite for a reason

I have owned many eyepiece over the years, including a wide variety of those from Tele Vue. The DeLites are amazing. The contrast and sharpness are second to none. Whether for planetary observation or hunting galaxies at the threshold of detection, DeLites never fail to deliver. They are truly a delight!

Am very pleased with this lens...bought it to see the Pope from across the water when he came to Lac Ste Anne...gave us an excellent view and I got an amazing picture! Now I need to work on capturing a galaxy!

Delite 7mm

I reviewed the 18.2mm TV Delite already so for a little more detailed review, please go see that one.

Used this with a TMB 115 F7 on the moon and quickly split Albireo. Absolutely pin point stars, sharp edge to edge and no false colour at all. Adjustable eye up is really nice and it barlowed extremely well with the TV 2x barlow. I'll likely pick up this whole set eventually.

10/10
