TeleVue Eyepiece Panoptic 24mm 1.25" (14241)

TeleVue Panoptic 24 mm 1.25" Eyepiece (Model 14241)

The TeleVue Panoptic 24 mm eyepiece delivers an impressive wide-angle viewing experience with a 68° apparent field of view and outstanding image sharpness. Designed for both casual and experienced observers, it provides high-contrast, well-corrected views even in fast Newtonian telescopes around f/5. The Panoptic series is widely regarded as one of the top-performing wide-field eyepiece lines available, offering excellent optical quality at a more accessible price point compared to premium ultra-wide models.

With its 68° field of view, the Panoptic 24 mm is ideal for deep-sky observation, allowing extended objects such as nebulae and star clusters to be viewed comfortably within a single field. In Dobsonian telescopes, the generous field makes manual tracking easier, as objects remain visible longer before repositioning is necessary. The field can be seen almost entirely without moving the eye, as the human eye naturally covers about 65° when looking straight ahead.

The eyepiece offers excellent overall sharpness across the field and a smooth, comfortable viewing experience. With 15 mm of eye relief, it can be used comfortably by many observers, including some who wear glasses. Its forgiving viewing behavior makes it suitable for both beginners and experienced astronomers.
