TeleVue Panoptic Telescope Eyepieces
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 41mmThe 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 35mmThe 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 27mmHoused 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 24mmThis 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 19mmSize 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.
