Tele Vue engineered this long focal length DeLite Series 18.2mm Eyepiece to produce a low magnification on most OTAs, and be as sharp and clear as their venerable Delos line, but smaller and more lightweight. The eyepiece features fully multi-coated optics that maximize light transmission and improve color and contrast across its entire wide 62° field of view. An exceptionally-long 20mm eye relief allows users to back off the eyecup for a more comfortable viewing experience with a greatly reduced risk of interfering vibrations caused by accidental contact with the eyepiece lens. The eyepiece is outfitted with their proprietary locking eyeguard which lets you set the eye relief in the perfect position whether you wear glasses or not. This DeLite has a barrel diameter of 1.25" to fit into the most common size focusers and accessories, and is parfocal with all Tele Vue Group 'B' eyepieces, allowing you to change compatible eyepieces without having to refocus - saving time and limiting vibrations.

Q: 2. Does 4X powermate, 2 , fits in to SCT rear cell adopter(2 ) or directly in to SCT rear cell(I have 8 SCT). In other words how do I hook up this 2 powermate to rear of 8 SCT.Second Question: I have a cannon DSLR with T ring and 2 adopter. Does this works with this?.

A: 1) The bare end of the 4x Powermate barrel does slide into the 2 adapter that screws onto the SCT rear cell.You'll need to make sure the 4x Powermate is firmly secured into the 2 adapter since the 4x Powemate is a bit heavy (especially with the camera attached!).2) No, the camera cannot be attached to the 4x Powermate by simply using a 2 adapter and Canon T-Ring.To place an SLR camera onto the 4x Powermate (unfortunately) another adapter is necessary, which is the TeleVue 4x Powermate T-Ring.The 4x Powermate has to be partially disassembled then the Televue 4x Powermate T-Ring gets screwed onto the 4x Powermate. Then, the Canon T-Ring is screwed onto the 4x Powermate T-Ring. Then the camera can be attached to the Canon T-Ring.
