Eyepieces

LV - Eyepieces
Vixen's mainstay eyepiece line. These eyepieces combine an impressive performance with excellent viewing comfort and a constant eye relief of 20mm regardless of the focal length - even in the 2.5mm!		 LVW - Wide Angle Eyepieces
The LVW eyepiece line adds an impressive 65 degrees field of view to the long list of features of the classical LV eyepieces.



LV Eyepieces (Long View = Long Eye Relief)

LV.gif (111906 Byte)
LV eyepieces are known for their excellent viewing comfort and long eye relief even in the 2.5mm eyepiece.
Just look at the sheer size of the exit lens of these eyepieces and compare it with simpler eyepiece designs!

Lens layout of the LV eyepieces. The exact layout differs with the focal length.

Our Special Recommendation:
A little known fact is that the 2" LV 30mm is particularly well suited for short focal length Newtonians. It offers pinpoint sharp images to the edge even in f/4 telescopes.
In addition it has a larger apparent field of view of an impressive 60 degrees.
All Vixen LV eyepieces have a comfortable eye relief of 20mm - even the 2.5mm LV! This makes these eyepieces a premium choice whenever viewing comfort is the most important consideration.

A Lanthanum lens element is used to minimize optical aberrations, resulting in a very good sharpness over the entire field. The eyepieces are multi-coated.

Observing
The LV eyepieces offer a great viewing comfort and image quality at any magnification. Their major advantage is of course the excellent viewing comfort at high magnifications. Due to their long eye relief you do not strain your eyes and therefore will be able to discern additional details.

The rubber eyeguards can be pulled back for eyeglass wearers.

Lens layout of the LVW eyepieces - 8 lenses in 5 groups

The Vixen LV-W eyepieces offer the same great viewing comfort of the popular LV eyepieces, combined with a larger field of view of 65 degrees.

With an eye relief of 20mm the entire field of view is visible even to eyeglass wearers, the rubber eyeguard can be pulled back for that purpose.

Like the LV eyepieces the LV-W use a Lanthanum lens element for excellent correction of optical aberrations.

Observing
These eyepieces combine an excellent viewing comfort, image sharpness and a large field of view. They can be considered ideal all-purpose eyepieces for demanding observers looking for a particularly comfortable eyepiece line. You can look through the eyepieces for extended periods without straining your eyes.

Recommendation: With their large field of view and well corrected image towards the edge the LV-W eyepieces are warmly recommended for use in Dobsonian telescopes.
