TeleVue 6mm Radian 1.25" Eyepiece

Manufacturer : TeleVue
Part Number : ERD-06.0

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

6mm 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.

This is the first high power eyepiece I have had that I can use comfortably. The eye relief is just right for my 54 year old eyes.

This ocular works very well in my AP 155MM F/7. Sharp images with good contrast. I like to boost it with my 2X barlow (seeing permitted). A great eyepiece!

Radian 6mm
This is my first Radian.  As to be expected with an eyepiece that has seven lenses, I did notice a drop in light throughput, however the views will take your breath away.  I do like the sliding click-stop feature as it helps me reduce the kidney bean blackout areas.  This feature has remained stiff and tight on my eyepiece and I can pick it up without it sliding through the barrel.  TeleVue also includes a pupil guide.
    For a 6mm, this eyepiece has a huge eye lens.  Very sharp to the field stop.  Very nice!  I look forward to having more of these.

TV 6mm Radian
Ditto my comments on 10mm Radian. In side-by-side comparisons, this eyepiece is every bit as sharp and contrasty as the Pentax SMC ortho which is no longer available. Much more comfortable to use than the ortho.

Not On Par
This lens is not as good as the 5mm or 3mm radians by a long shot. Has less contrast and often less brightness than the 3mm radian at times.  One to skip.
