Tele Vue 17mm 100-Degree Eyepiece:
$575.00
This is a nearly $840 eyepiece that I am selling for $575. Why so low? As you can see in the second photo, the field lens isn't completely clean. Please note that these spots are cosmetic and do not at all affect the view. Experienced amateur astronomers know this. Heck, a Schmidt-Cassegrain's corrector plate can have a crack across it and most people wouldn't notice while stargazing. Optics are funny like that. I have three pairs of affordable premium binoculars (two Swaros and a Zeiss), and one of them (the Swarovski CL Pocket) has similar spots on its objective lenses, yet the optics are still outstanding.
Sorry for the long explanation, but I'm an honest seller, and this is an expensive item, even at $575. Otherwise, I'd be listing this eyepiece for $700.
