Burgess Optical TMB Paragon 40 & 30 Eyepieces.

The TMB Paragon is the ultimate wide field eyepiece. The radical new design eliminates
almost all abberations, giving the observer a pristine view of the heavens. The coatings are the
best available, with ultra-high transmission, giving the observer clear, bright views of the
heavens.

The TMB Paragon eyepieces offer a 69 degree field of view with a tack sharp view and lots of
eye relief. Just what is needed for extended gazing at Deep Space Objects. And, just what
you would expect from a Thomas Back designed eyepiece.

Each TMB Paragon eyepiece has a serial number engraved on the barrel. The black anodized
all-aluminum body is light and good looking. The lettering is highly visible in red light.

Check out the construction and features:

Designed by Thomas Back of TMB Optics

Every Air to Glass surface has Multi Broadband coatings
All lens edges are blackened
Coatings have 99.98 to 99.99% transmission (less than 0.02% loss per surface)
Fully internally baffled
Internal spacers have flat anodizing and micro-baffless to reduce reflections.
Flexible two position eyecup
Apparant Field of View (AFOV) of 69o
True AFOV of 68o (meaning that there is virtually no magnification increase across the FOV)

To lower the eyecup, grasp the eyepiece in both hands with the thumbs together and
pressing down one side of the eyecup, slide the thumbs in opposite directions around the
eyecup while pressing the edge of the eyecup against the body of the EP. Before the thumbs
meet, the eyecup will snap into the down position. There is a distinct POP sound when the
eyecup snaps down.
