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.
