TeleVue Eyepiece Panoptic 41mm 2" (14238)

TeleVue Panoptic 41 mm 2" Eyepiece (Model 14238)

The TeleVue Panoptic 41 mm eyepiece delivers a wide and immersive viewing experience with a 68° apparent field of view and excellent image sharpness. Designed for deep-sky observers, it provides bright, high-contrast views even when used with fast Newtonian telescopes around f/5. The Panoptic series is recognized as one of the leading wide-field eyepiece lines, offering premium optical quality at a more accessible price compared to ultra-wide alternatives.

With its generous 68° field of view, the Panoptic 41 mm is particularly well suited for sweeping large star fields, nebulae, and extended galaxies. The wide field allows observers to see expansive celestial objects comfortably within a single view. When used with Dobsonian telescopes, the broad field also reduces the need for frequent manual adjustments, as objects remain visible longer. The human eye can perceive nearly the entire field without significant movement, contributing to a relaxed and natural viewing experience.

The overall image sharpness across the field is outstanding, with strong contrast and well-corrected star images from center to edge. With 27 mm of eye relief, this eyepiece is especially comfortable and well suited for observers who wear glasses. Its smooth and forgiving viewing behavior ensures enjoyable observations for both beginners and experienced astronomers.
