After meticulous engineering, the Tele Vue Big Paracorr Type-2 emerges as a pinnacle accessory for 3" focusers, designed to elevate the performance of Newtonian reflecting telescopes. This paramount optical corrector is the solution to coma, an aberration that causes stars to appear with blurry, comet-like tails radiating from the center of the field. The Big Paracorr Type-2 is specifically crafted to combat this effect, ensuring the sharpest and most pristine visual experience across the entire field of view.The Tele Vue Big Paracorr Type-2 is a testament to the brand's commitment to excellence, seamlessly integrating with the revolutionary 82-degree Nagler and 100+ degree Ethos eyepieces. This combination unlocks the potential for expansive, flat, and impeccably corrected visual fields, propelling your "spacewalk" observing sessions to celestial heights. With the Big Paracorr Type-2, the clarity of star images is significantly enhanced on all telescope f-ratios down to f/3, without introducing any false color or spherical aberration. This means that even at the edges of the field, objects like the M-13 cluster remain sharply resolved, drifting serenely across your view without the need for constant repositioning.Ease of use is at the heart of the Big Paracorr Type-2 design. It effortlessly slides into your focuser in the same manner as a Barlow lens, while a mild 15% Barlow effect ingeniously extends the focus outward to minimize in-travel. This corrector is not only optimized for Tele Vue eyepieces, including Plossls, Radians, Panoptics, Naglers, Ethos, and Delos, but also maintains compatibility with other eyepiece brands.For visual use, the Big Paracorr Type-2 can accommodate both 2" and 1¼" eyepieces. The 1¼" eyepieces utilize a special low-profile adapter, ensuring a secure and precise fit. Additionally, the corrector is threaded to accept 2" filters, further enhancing its versatility.The Paracorr Type 2 optical assembly is also available in a specialized adapter housing created by Starlight Instruments for their Feather Touch focusers, negating the need for a tunable top and optimizing eyepiece positioning. Some Dobsonian telescope manufacturers have even integrated this advanced corrector as a standard feature with the Feather Touch focuser.Astrophotographers will find the Big Paracorr Type-2 equally indispensable. By detaching the lens assembly from the Tunable Top, the corrector can be adapted for use with DSLR and CCD cameras, requiring only the appropriate threaded accessory tubes and camera mounts for connection.In summary, the Tele Vue Big Paracorr Type-2 for 3" focusers is an essential upgrade for astronomers and astrophotographers alike, designed to deliver the ultimate in sharpness and clarity for an unrivaled observational experience.

Enhance your visual and imaging experience with the VIP-2010 Paracorr Type-2, a revolutionary product designed for both visual and imaging use. First introduced in 2010, this innovative model is engineered to transform an f/3 mirror to perform like an f/12 mirror, even without a Paracorr. The VIP-2010 Paracorr Type-2 is essentially diffraction-limited across the field, making it a game-changer for the latest generation of f/3-f/4 "ladder-less" Dobs. This product not only makes these Dobs possible but also elevates their performance in terms of convenience, field-of-view, and optical perfection, especially when paired with top-quality mirrors. One of the standout features of the Paracorr Type 2 is its ability to separate the optical assembly from the Tunable Top. This unique feature allows it to be used in conjunction with Tele Vue imaging system components, making it compatible with both SLR and CCD cameras. To ensure optimal performance and minimize field vignetting, APS size formats with a 27mm diameter are recommended. The VIP-2010 Paracorr Type-2 is particularly ideal for mirrors as fast as f/3, making it a versatile addition to any professional or amateur photographer's toolkit. In summary, the VIP-2010 Paracorr Type-2 is a cutting-edge solution for those seeking to enhance their visual and imaging capabilities, offering unparalleled convenience and optical perfection.

Introducing Tunable Top for the BIG Paracorr Type-2 The 2" Tunable Top with 1 1/4" Adapter (model #ATT-2125) is the tunable top from the standard Tele Vue 2" Paracorr Type-2. It permits positioning all eyepieces for optimum coma correction. For use on the BIG Paracorr Type-2, the "VISA" (Visual / Imaging System Adapter), is required. A 3" Tunable Top is not required since secondary mirror size limits maximum exit pupil diameter to around 7mm. Therefore, the widest true field eyepiece choice with an f/3 (f/3.45 when used with Paracorr) is Tele Vue's own 21mm Ethos, which delivers a 6.1mm exit pupil at f/3.45. Installation Attach the Tunable Top by unscrewing the Stop Flange from the top of the BIG Paracorr Type-2 and replacing it with the "VISA" adapter. Then screw on the Tunable Top. Tighten the Tunable Top snuggly. Use For 2" Eyepieces: • Make sure eyepiece lock screws (A) are loosened • Remove 1 1/4" adapter • Slip 2" eyepiece into the Paracorr • Tighten eyepiece lock screws (A) To adjust for eyepiece position: • Slightly loosen the height adjustment lock knob (B) that clamps on the slot •Push the screw (B) to adjust the height of the eyepiece, following the guidelines in the eyepiece position chart below •Tighten the height adjustment lock knob (B)For 1 1/4" Eyepieces: • Slip the 2" to 1 1/4" reducing adapter into the Tunable Top and tighten lock screws (A) • Place the eyepiece in the adapter and tighten the lock screw (C) • Follow the adjustment procedures outlined above in step 4 Note Focus the telescope after properly setting the eyepiece position. Do not accidentally use the tuning feature for focusing. The easiest method for finding optimal correction for other brand eyepieces is to first establish the focus position with a Tele Vue eyepiece at its known Paracorr setting. Then insert your other eyepiece and use the tunable top until focus has been reached. Note the mark on the Paracorr body for the setting. Use your telescope focuser to tweak the focus if necessary

While the Panoptic 35mm Wide Angle 2" Eyepiece boasts an impressive 68-degree field of view, it's the largest true field and ample eye relief that truly sets it apart, making it an ideal choice for eyeglass wearers. This eyepiece, when paired with a Paracorr, spectacularly corrects the coma of an f/4.5 Newtonian, delivering sharp star clusters even at the extreme edge of the field. The Panoptic series by Tele Vue elevates the wide-field concept to Nagler-like performance levels, marking a significant advancement over any other eyepiece within its 68-degree field class. As with all Panoptics, expect standard features such as multi-coatings for enhanced image clarity, blackened lens edges to reduce light scattering, filter threads for added versatility, and rubber grip rings for secure handling. The construction of the Panoptic 35mm Wide Angle 2" Eyepiece is nothing short of exemplary, with thoughtful details like a cover for the eyeguard and an undercut in the barrel for extra locking security. To help you quickly identify it among other eyepieces, it features a double identifying ring, a unique characteristic of all Panoptics. This eyepiece is more than just a tool; it's a gateway to the cosmos, offering unparalleled viewing experiences for astronomy enthusiasts.
