Overview
The Tele Vue DeLite 11mm is a well-regarded mid-focal-length eyepiece that earns its place in a serious observer's case. At 11mm, it lands in a useful sweet spot for planetary detail, globular clusters, and smaller nebulae, delivering enough magnification to resolve structure without pushing into uncomfortable territory on most mounts and skies. The 62-degree apparent field of view is not the widest available at this price tier, but it strikes a deliberate balance between immersive viewing and edge-to-edge sharpness.
Tele Vue's fully multi-coated optics keep contrast high and light transmission strong, which matters when you are pulling out detail in dim objects. The 20mm of eye relief is the real practical win here, especially for observers who wear glasses. The sliding eyeguard adjusts smoothly and stays put, and the Dioptrx compatibility lets you correct for astigmatism without your glasses altogether.
Build quality is consistent with what Tele Vue is known for, solid and made to last years of regular use. At $305, this is not an impulse purchase. But for observers who want a reliable, comfortable, optically honest eyepiece in the 11mm range, the DeLite delivers without compromise.

I was viewing the Moon through my Celestron C6 with this Tele Vue 11 mm Delite eyepiece and what a delight it was! At 136 X the craters & mountains were clear and sharp. Great quality and construction. Highly recommended!
Televue never disappoints. I will always be willing to pay for their quality over less expensive eyepieces--they are that good.
Ordered a pair for binoviewing, one came not parocal and slightly soft compared with the good one - uncommon from the past perfection one expects of Televue. Easy return process, minus prorated shipping. Thanks!
