TS Super Plossl

TS Super Plossls offer the maximum possible performance with this optical design. They are a special recommendation for beginners but might well turn out to be all the eyepieces you will ever need.

These are important features of our Plossls:

Fully multi-coated for excellent contrast and transmission
High quality lenses for best-possible sharpness all over the field of view
Rubber eyecup - keeps out stray light and protects your eyeglasses
Rubber grips
Comfortable eye relief at all but the shortest focal lengths
Excellent value for money - we get these eyepieces directly from the manufacturer, without an intermediary; therefore we can offer very low prices.

Transmission
As many reviews show the TS Super Plossls do not only offer a great contrast, but also a near-perfect light throughput. This means that more light actually reaches your eyes instead of being swallowed (or even worse: scattered around) in the eyepiece. Image brightness, along with contrast, is the key to the observation of faint nebulae and galaxies.

Our particularly low prices for these eyepieces do NOT mean that they are of inferior quality compared with other Super Plossl eyepieces. On the contrary, we are very proud of the excellent quality and performance of our Super Plossls!

These TOP Prices are realised by direct import from the factory!

1,25" TS-WA Eyepieces with Comfortable Eye Relief and a Large Field of View

TS WA eyepieces 20mm , 15mm , 10mm

TSWA5-25.jpg (20164 Byte)

TS WA 25mm , TS WA 5.7mm

TS WA 5 has a fixed Barlow element in their design - that way you still have a comfortable eye relief, even at less than 6mm focal length.

We do not recommend the use of an external Barlow lens in combination with these eyepieces.
TS WA Eyepieces 1,25" - 67° Field of View - Comfortable Eye Relief

If you just feel a little "boxed-in" by the narrower fields of view of simpler eyepieces you might consider the TS WA series. 67° apparent field of view is a whole lot different to the 50° or less offered in cheaper eyepieces.

This larger field of view is attained through an additional optical element in the eyepiece design. This is crucial for sharp, pinpoint stars to the edge of the field of view.

Down to 10mm the TS WA eyepieces do not utilize a Barlow element like many other wide angle eyepieces. This means slightly tighter eye relief, but brings along much "easier" and more relaxed viewing. You don't have to keep your head in one precise position to avoid black-outs or kidney-beaning.

This also means that you can use a Barlow lens to enhance magnification. You should never "stack" Barlows, so using other wide angle eyepieces with Barlow lenses results in degrading image quality.

The TS WA eyepieces are also well suited for "fast" Newtonians down to a focal ratio of f/5. They have excellent contrast which makes them interesting for planetary observers. Obviously the TS WA perform just as well at longer focal ratios

All lenses are fully multi-coated. This results in very good contrast and transmission. Due to that the eyepieces perform well in all field of visual or photographical astronomy.

1,25" TS-SWM Wide Angle Eyepieces - Fully Multi-Coated - Blackened Lens Edges

TS SWM eyepieces 20mm , 15mm , 9mm, 6mm

TSWA5-25.jpg (20164 Byte)

A short comparison between the old "Gold-Rimmed" eyepieces (left) and the new TS SWM (right). Both eyepieces are the 20mm version.
Note the much darker reflections in the TS SWM and the lack of the bright white "crescent" reflection caused by not blackened lens edges in the Ultrawide.

TS SWM 6 and TS SWM 9 have a fixed Barlow element in their design - that way you still have a comfortable eye relief, even down to 6mm focal length.

We do not recommend the use of an external Barlow lens in combination with these eyepieces.
TS SWM Eyepieces - 66° Field of View - Fully Multi-Coated - Blackened Lens Edges

These excellent new series of eyepieces has little in common with its predecessors (TS SW) and other, similar looking eyepieces. We put all our know-how and experience into the development of these eyepieces. The result is the ultimate low-cost, high performance wide angle eyepiece.

Our advanced version of the venerable wide angle eyepieces are built to Telescope-Service's specifications and sold by Telescope-Service and our partners exclusively.

The new TS SWM are powerful all-purpose eyepieces for all fields of amateur astronomy.

Lunar and Planetary Observations
Our TS SWM Series features an excellent contrast due to the blackened lens edges. As a result you will be able to discern tiny details that would go unnoticed in many other eyepiece designs. Another big advantage over simpler eyepiece designs is the TS SWM's comfortable eye relief down to the high-power 6mm focal length.
Deep Sky Observations
Any eyepiece loses light on each lens surface due to reflections. In simple wide angle eyepieces this would normally result in dim and somewhat 'boring' images. Our TS SWM eyepieces are fully multi-coated: A multicoating on each lens surface effectively prevents reflections and thus maximises light transmission. Images will be surprisingly bright, you will therefore see additional details especially in dim objects like nebulae and galaxies.

At the same time the large field of view helps in discerning extended structures within those nebulae and galaxies. Just compare a bright open cluster somewhere within our milky-way: It's just more beautiful in a wide angle eyepiece!
Astro-Imaging
Our TS SWM series eyepieces are ideally suited for eyepiece projection. You will soon value their great contrast and image brightness. The TS SWM are warmly recommended for digital imaging.
Digital Imaging

The TS SWM eyepieces are ideally suited for digital imaging. Their large eye lens brings along a large illuminated field.

We developed a very short T2 adaptor for these eyepieces. Just remove the rubber eyeguards and attach the Fotoring instead.

In addition we offer digital adaptor rings for most common digital cameras. Just send an e-mail with your camera's filter thread and we will find the ideal combination for you.

TS Zoom Eyepiece 7-21

TSZoomNew.jpg (30986 Byte)

TS Zoom 7mm to 21mm Focal Length

Zoom eyepieces have undeniable advantages compared to fixed focal length eyepieces. In some cases, one single zoom eyepiece might replace a large collection of conventional eyepieces - you might possibly not need any other ocular at all!

You can always choose the highest magnification possible at any given moment, allowing for different seeing conditions, cool-down of your telescope and whatever other factors might influence the maximum useful magnification.

With the TS Zoom eyepiece 7-21mm you have good, contrasty and above all comfortable views, be it at 7mm or at 21. You can without hesitation use this eyepiece for terrestrial observations, zooming right in to the bird, mountain or ship you are watching. Try this eyepiece out at the moon and the planets!

At 7mm the apparent field of view is a respectable 54°. Even at the lowest magnification you will still have some 40° apparent field of view.

Please accept one final warning: Zoom eyepieces can by default not reach the same high performance than fixed focal length eyepieces do. In direct comparison you will always notice slightly more details in a good quality Plossl than in any zoom ocular. Still, in many cases the comfort and ease of use of a zoom are just more important than the last bit of detail - this is where the TS zoom excels. "High-end" planetary observers should better buy fixed focal length eyepieces - for ultimate contrast we recommend good Plossls (like our TS Superplossls) or Orthos.

2" Eyepieces

2" eyepieces (barrel diameter 50.8mm = 2") are useful at long focal lengths and large fields of view. Whether an eyepiece has to be a 2" design depends on the diameter of the field stop - if it doesn't fit into a 1.25" barrel a 2" barrel is chosen instead.

To put it in simple words: The larger the diameter, the larger the attainable true field of view on the sky. This means that a 2" eyepiece can show larger areas of the sky than a 1.25" eyepiece.

2" TS Reversed Kellner (RK) Eyepieces

These eyepieces feature a modified three-lens design that will offer excellent results. Especially light transmission is better than possible in any more complicated eyepiece design. Contrary to classical Kellners field sharpness is much better, you can use the eyepieces on relatively short focal ratio telescopes (f/5 is okay, f/6 is good, f/8 is recommended without reservations). The value for money is excellent.

RK 26mm RK 32mm RK 40mm
What are RK or RKE eyepieces?
These eyepieces are a modified and advanced version of the classical Kellner design. Compared with classical Kellners field correction is much superior. The RK design also allows for larger fields of view. At the same time the major advantage of the Kellner design - best possible light transmission - is retained.

We recommend the RK eyepieces as a low-budget entry into the world of 2" eyepieces or if you need to get as much light out of your telescope as possible.
 
A first look at M-31 (the Andromeda Galaxy) with the GSO Dobsonian 200/1200mm and the TS RK 40mm

"The
Andromeda Galaxy was easier to see than ever before. Previously I had only used good Plossl eyepieces, but the image was much brighter and clearer. Even a direct comparison with my Super Plossl 40mm from the United States showed the much brighter image of the TS RK 40mm. Also the field of view is much bigger, over 25%.

In the future, the TS RK 40mm will be my favourite Deep Sky eyepiece."
(Martin Zechner - Emberger Alm - 2002)

Protective Cases For Eyepieces and Barlow Lenses
2" TS RK Eyepieces with Superior Field Correction

The first impression of these eyepieces is that of good quality craftmanship. The all metal body and rubber grips speak for themselves. But not only mechanical quality is much better than in some other eyepieces of this price range.

Every optical surface is multicoated (Full Multi-Coating), also the inside of the eyepieces is properly blackened to reduce internal reflections and maximise contrast and transmission.

Use:
Our TS RK eyepieces are excellent deep sky eyepieces, especially on long focal ratio telescopes like refractors, Schmidt-Cassegrains or Maksutov-Cassegrains. Here the TS RK, due to their design inherent transmission, may even beat more expensive eyepieces in performance.

On shorter focal ratio telescopes like Newtonians (typically around f/5) the TS RK eyepieces will still offer a respectable performance, but stars near the edge will no longer appear as small pinpoints - these are the limits of the three-lens RK design. On even faster telescopes use of the TS RK is not recommended.

Transmission
Due to their carefully chosen lens substrates and especially due to their excellent Full Multi-Coating the TS RK eyepieces have a light transmission close to the theoretical limit. This is especially important when observing faint nebulae and galaxies.

A More Detailed Look at the TS RK Eyepieces:
Each TS RK eyepiece features a very soft rubber eyecup that will effectively prevent stray light from reaching your eyes. The very comfortable eye relief (18mm - TS RK 26 / 30mm - TS RK 40) makes our TS RK eyepieces fully suitable for eyeglass wearers. You will find these eyepieces very comfortable to use, only the 40mm requires some practise due to the very large eye lens.

Digital Imaging with the TS RK Eyepieces:
We have developed a short T2 ring for the 2" TS RK eyepieces. In addition we offer adaptors for nearly all common digital cameras. Just send us an e-mail with the type of your camera (if possible please include which filter thread the camera has), then we will offer the fitting adaptors.

You will best be able to check the transmission of the TS WA eyepieces by holding it in front of a flat white surface. You will be able to see any discolouration or light absorption immediately.

When you look at the image above you can see that when looking through our TS WA eyepieces the background remains bright and properly white to a large degree.

A Short Comparison


Shorter Focal Lengths:
1.25" TS WA Eyepieces
.
Our TS WA eyepieces are known for their particularly good image quality at a bargain price. They feature a modern optical design that allows you to use them on "fast" telescopes - telescopes with a short focal ratio - with respectable field sharpness.

With their excellent full multi-coating the eyepieces offer very bright images. Not least due to their good mechanical and optical qualities they may well be compared with much more expensive eyepieces.

Nice to look at, these eyepieces will define a new meaning of comfortable viewing. The long eye relief makes them fully suited for eyeglass wearers.

Every optical surface is fully multi-coated!
This modern, high-performance coating - along with the proper optical glass substrates of the five lenses - guarantees bright and clear images with an excellent transmission (see the image to the left). You will not waste any of the precious light your telescope has collected - the TS WA eyepieces are true Deep-Sky specialists.

The TS WA eyepieces' body is properly blackened inside.

A Simple Test: Put the eyepieces on a black surface and provide proper illumination (daylight). Then check the reflections on the eye-lens; you will immediately see how much contrast the eyepiece can provide.

We did this test and compared our TS WA with two other eyepieces (TeleVue Panoptik and Wild 30 - both are well-known Deep Sky eyepieces). See for yourself how well our TS WA passed the test.
The new TS WA 26mm
The new TS WA 38mm.
The excellent dark multi-coating of the TS WA 26 and 38. The multi-coating is second not even to some of the most expensive eyepieces.
Coating fully multicoated for best possible contrast and transmission
Mechanical features metal body with rubber grip and soft rubber eyecups against stray light
Image quality crisp and contrasty images without distortion near the edge. Many eyepieces with larger apparent fields of view have quite some noticable distortion towards the edge of the field of view, thus apparently reaching wider fields without changing the actual field of view. TS WA eyepieces do not use this trick.
Usable with: You can use these eyepieces with any telescopes with a focal ratio of f/5 or longer. Please keep in mind that the exit pupil does not get too large with the long focal length TS WA eyepieces, though. (For example, at f/5 you may well use the TS WA 32, but the TS WA 42 and 50 will render a not-quite-useful exit pupil of 8.4mm or 10mm, respectively. The exit pupil should never grow bigger than your own eyes' pupils can, otherwise you will waste light.)

Barlow Lenses

Especially on "fast" telescopes (i.e. on telescopes with a short focal ratio) Barlow lenses are an interesting alternative to short focal length eyepieces. Those eyepieces often have a very tight eye relief and are very uncomfortable to use.

The quality of all Barlow lenses offered here is very good.

TS Barlow 2x / 1.5x

TSBarlow.jpg (3864 Byte) TSBarlowOkular.jpg (4302 Byte) TS Barlow 1.25" - 1.5x / 2x

You use Barlow lenses to enhance the magnification of any given eyepiece. The TS Barlow lens enhances the magnification 1.5x or 2x.

One example: You have a telescope with a focal length of 1000mm. Your shortest focal length eyepiece has a focal length of 10mm. This renders a magnification of 100x.

Using the TS Barlow lens you will get two further magnifications: 200x and 150x.

You can see that this Barlow lens is extraordinarily versatile. Two well-chosen eyepieces in combination with this Barlow lens will give you up to six different magnifications!

For image quality and contrast, out Barlow lens is fully multicoated. It has two lenses and therefore produces high quality images without additional false colour. Of course, the Barlow lens is made of metal, not plastic.

Due to the lense's large diameter you can use long focal length eyepieces, like our TS Super Plossl 25mm, without vignetting.

How to use the TS Barlow lens:

- 2x: Just put the Barlow lens into you telescope's focuser, then put the eyepiece into the Barlow lens.

- 1.5x: Unscrew the lower, black anodized part of the Barlow lens (the part holding the lenses) and screw it into the eyepiece like a filter.

Without the lens elements you can use the 1.25" body as an extension tube for 1.25" eyepieces!

As you can see, our TS Barlow lens is one of the most versatile units available.

Thus you turn a 20mm eyepiece (with its inherent comfortable view) into a 6.7mm eyepiece.

Because of the large lens diameter you can combine this Barlow lens with all 1.25" eyepieces without vignetting. The lenses are fully multicoated. There will be no distortion near the edge of the field of view - a common problem with cheaper Barlow lenses.

TS ED Barlow 2x - 2" Version

TS2-2fach.jpg (12523 Byte)

TS Barlow 2" with 1.25" adaptor - the Barlow lens can be used with 1.25" and 2" eyepieces

TS ED Barlow 2x - 2" Version

This is the 2" counterpart of our famed 1.25", 2x/1.5x TS Barlow lens. It is well made both in design and craftmanship. Both lenses are fully multicoated for best-possible contrast and transmission. The lenses have a diameter of 37mm, thus you can even use 2" wide angle eyepieces without vignetting.

Further uses:

- With a 2" extension tube - 50mm - you will attain a magnification of 2.7x compared to an eyepiece without the Barlow lens. That way you turn a 30mm wide angle eyepiece into an 11mm wide angle eyepiece with comfortable eye relief.

- Remove the black anodized lens cell from the Barlow lens and screw it directly into your eyepiece to attain a magnification of 1.5x.

Our TOP recommendation for digital imaging - maximum useful field of view with 1.25" and 2"



TS Superview Family:
2" Superviews: 42mm and 30mm focal length ...... 1.25" Superviews: 40mm and 32mm focal length



42mm TS Superview with rubber eyeguard removed to reveal the thread for camera connection.

TS Super View eyepieces were designed for optimum photographical performance with digital compact cameras.

We offer the following models:

1.25" ......................... TS SuperView ................ with 40mm and 32mm focal length
2" ............................... TS SuperView ................ with 42mm and 30mm focal length



Properties of the TS SuperView Eyepieces:

--- good quality, multi-coated eyepieces with blackened lens edges

--- variable eye relief - for optimum viewing performance you can extend the eyeguard until you have reached the perfect viewing position.

--- designed for eyepiece projection with compact digital cameras or SLR cameras. No eyepiece projection tube is necessary. We offer adaptations for most common digital cameras.
For SLR cameras magnification is controlled with the slide-tube of the eyepiece body.

--- the ideal interface between your digital camera and the telescope.

--- well suited for projection in telescopes with tight back focus. No adaptor that uses up additional optical length is needed.

The oversized eye lens of the Super View eyepieces allows for a comfortable viewing position and offers a large illuminated field for eyepiece projection. Visually the major advantage of these eyepieces is the adjustable eye relief. Every observer, be it with or without eyeglasses, will always find the optimum observing distance.



Projection with a normal 40mm eyepiece



Projection with the Superview 40mm eyepiece

The comparative images on the left show why the Superview is so well suited for projection withcompact digital cameras.

The field illumination is determined by the lens diameter of the eyepiece compared with that of the camera, as well as the distance between eyepiece and camera.

The Superview eyepieces are optimized for maximum illumination.
