About Tele Vue…
TeleVue Optics and the name Al Nagler go hand in hand in the international astronomy and birding community. Their revolutionary telescope and eyepiece designs have been in production since 1977, and with their refracting telescopes for photo visual applications in birding, panoramic observing, and astronomy are beyond compare. In 1982 the first telescope offered by TeleVue was introduced to the public and by 1983 Al Nagler had visualized the perfect telescope – a refractor – the choice of professional visual astronomers. In his Company 7 interview, Mr. Nagler states: “I… still love telescopes as both hobby and business. I have worked on eyepieces, telescopes and viewing devices with two major goals: to make astronomy as easy and versatile as possible to encourage, rather than discourage, newcomers, and secondly, to provide a visual experience as close to a “space walk” as possible by obtaining the widest, sharpest, highest contrast views. I am deeply gratified that my work has enhanced the pleasure and growth of the hobby. I think amateur astronomy is the best hobby in the universe.”
