TeleVue Eyepiece Panoptic 35mm 2" (14239)

TeleVue Panoptic 35 mm 2" Eyepiece (Model 14239)

The TeleVue Panoptic 35 mm eyepiece provides an impressive wide-angle viewing experience with a 68° apparent field of view and excellent image sharpness. Designed for deep-sky observers, it delivers high-contrast, well-corrected views even when used with fast Newtonian telescopes around f/5. The Panoptic series is widely regarded as one of the top performers in the wide-field category, offering premium optical quality at a more accessible price compared to ultra-wide designs.

With its generous 68° field of view, the Panoptic 35 mm is ideal for sweeping views of large nebulae, open clusters, and extended galaxies. The wide field makes it especially comfortable for use with Dobsonian telescopes, as objects remain in view longer before repositioning is required. The human eye can perceive nearly the entire field without significant movement, contributing to a relaxed and immersive observing experience.

The overall sharpness across the field is exceptional, with strong contrast and clear star images from center to edge. The 24 mm eye relief makes this eyepiece particularly comfortable to use, including for many observers who wear glasses. Its smooth and forgiving viewing behavior ensures enjoyable observations for both beginners and experienced astronomers.
