TeleVue 3mm Radian 1.25" Eyepiece

Manufacturer : TeleVue
Part Number : ERD-03.0

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

3mm 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.

Sharp eyepiece!
I started the evening with the intention of reviewing my new 4mm Radian.When i went outside, i saw that the moon was near the zenith and the atmosphere was very steady. This eyepiece has not received alot of use in my TV85 and i have considered selling it.The moon is normally too dim in this eyepiece and Jupiter and Saturn are often soft with it. Tonight the moon was outstanding in this eyepiece....sharp,bright and clear. The craters were sharp to the edge!Although the 3mm Radian provided decent views of Mars this summer,i would say this eyepiece is ideal for telescopes that are f/6 or faster.

TV 3mm Radian
Ditto my comments for the 10mm. Whod have ever imagined a 3mm eyepiece with 20mm of eye relief? Fantastic!

Grabs Views
This lens reaches thru the soup to grab good images where its radian brethern and others fail or present only dark, washed-out views. Much better than the 8mm, 6mm, 5mm and 4mm radians, though the 5mm is not at all bad.
