The Tele Vue Panoptic Eyepiece series offers the best in telescopic viewing. These lower-power, wide-field eyepieces are a meaningful advance over any eyepiece in the 68-degree field class. The Panoptic's six-element, four-group optical design offers sharp, high-contrast images. Excellent color correction keeps the images true, and fully multi-coated optics provide optimum light allowance for a clearer, brighter view. With Panoptics, you are sure to get the most out of your telescope.
Panoptic 41mm
The 41mm Panoptic eyepiece is a big brother to the 24mm Panoptic (largest 1.25" field). With its 46mm field stop, the 41mm Panoptic delivers the largest 2" field possible. An adjustable and removable screw-type top allows quick, comfortable eye positioning. The scalloped shape gives a positive grip.
Panoptic 35mm
The 35mm has a large true field with plenty of eye relief for eyeglass wearers. When combined with a Paracorr to correct the coma of an f/4.5 Newtonian, performance is spectacular across the 68 degree field. Imagine, sharp star clusters at the extreme edge of the field along with a 6.8mm exit pupil!
Panoptic 27mm
Housed in a 2" barrel like the 35mm, the 27mm is lighter & smaller. It's perfect for any telescope size, type or speed, where a little more magnification is desired, yet still allows full field viewing with eyeglasses. For example, with the Tele Vue-102, it gives 33x and a true field of 2 degrees!
Panoptic 24mm
This Sky & Telescope “Hot Product for 2003” is designed to produce the largest true field possible in a 1-1/4" eyepiece. (Its 27mm field stop is the same as the 32mm Tele Vue Plössl). The higher power darkens the sky background while the greater magnification yields more details on extended objects. Further, its light weight (1/2 lb.), comfortable 15mm eye relief, and tapered top instantly make the 24mm Panoptic the ideal eyepiece for getting the maximum field for binocular viewers.
Panoptic 19mm
Size, weight and performance make the 19mm an ideal mid power chioce. Ideal "soul-mate" to Bino Vue. Parfocal with 15mm and other smaller Plössls and Naglers.
Panoptic 15mm
With comfortable eye relief and sharp 68 degree field, this 1 1/4" eyepiece is a good, modest priced alternative to a 16mm Nagler Type 5.
