TeleVue 4mm Radian 1.25" Eyepiece

Manufacturer : TeleVue
Part Number : ERD-04.0

The TeleVue Radians provide high image quality, generous eye relief, and are useful for a wide variety of telescopes and viewing situations.

4mm Radian Eyepiece.

"What sets Radians apart from other long eye-relief, short-focal-length eyepieces is superb image quality. Even discerning planetary observers who customarily choose Plössl or orthoscopic designs are switching to Radian." — Sky & Telescope, December 1999

Instadjust was developed for maximizing contrast while aiding in proper eye positioning for non-eyeglass wearers. It is essential, since with the Radian's long eye-relief, non-eyeglass wearers could easily get too close to the eyepiece, resulting in vignetting where edge field rays miss your pupil. The push-pull, click-stop adjustment permits fast positioning and maximum suppression of environmental stray light.

Another unique development is the Pupil Guide. It helps non-eyeglass wearers, especially novices, zero-in and stay centered on the exit pupil. The Pupil Guide is included with all Radian and Nagler Type 4s and fits under the soft, fold-down rubber eyeguard.

Very comfortable
Although i gave this eyepiece a 9 rating, i would more accurately rate it at 8.5. The 5mm and 3mm Radians are alittle better. The 4mm is just as sharp as its bretheren however it blacks out more easily. The click stop has one click that allows full field viewing without blackout. Also i am seeing a slight violet hue off to the right. Not much,and not straight ahead, but its there. Being midway between the 5mm and 3mm Radians, one would think the 4mm would be similar but its not. Still at this focal length, nothing else provides this level of comfort and field.

Top Notch Hi-Power EP!
Read comments under 8mm Radian. Same fantastic quality but loses a little brightness, but then again, anytime you use high magnification, brightness is compromised. Great EP in a class by itself!

O.K. I Think
Not nearly as good as the 3mm radian and also not as quite as good as the 5mm radian.  I have it and it is O.K. if you need something at that focal length.
