Tele Vue 8mm Plossl Eyepiece

The Tele Vue 8mm Plossl is a 1.25" telescope eyepiece designed for amateur astronomers who want high magnification views of planets and deep-sky objects. Its 8.0mm focal length delivers the highest power in the Plossl line while maintaining a 50-degree apparent field of view.

Compatibility checks before ordering

Verify your telescope accepts 1.25" eyepieces and that its focuser can reach the required in-travel for an 8.0mm focal length. Confirm the 6mm eye relief suits your observing style, especially if you wear glasses while viewing.

Thermals noise and power draw

As a passive optical instrument the eyepiece generates no heat, emits no noise and draws no electrical power during normal use. Its fully multi-coated lenses and blackened edges maximise light transmission and contrast without active cooling or power requirements.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box with the Tele Vue 8mm Plossl eyepiece and what must I buy separately?

The eyepiece includes rubber eyeguards, grip rings and filter threads built in. A 1.25" telescope focuser or diagonal is required but not supplied.

Should I choose the 8.0mm focal length or a different Plossl for my setup?

The 8.0mm gives the highest magnification in the Plossl line. Pick it when you need close-up planetary detail; choose a longer focal length for wider fields.

What does the 50° apparent field of view mean when I look through the eyepiece?

A 50° apparent field delivers a generous viewing window so objects stay in sight longer at high power, while the 6mm eye relief keeps the exit pupil comfortable.
