Description
An excellent premium-quality low power wide field 2″ eyepiece for the serious deep space explorer. The 27mm Panoptic, for example, will give you a 0.92 degree field at 74x with abig 17.5″ f/4.5 Dobsonian. That’s almost two lunar diameters and is ideal for observing large emission and reflection nebulas and nebula remnants.
While it’s particularly well-suited for use with Dobsonians (it provides a huge 6mm exit pupil for rich field observing on an f/4.5 scope), it can provide “picture window onto space” images with any telescope type that can use a 2″ eyepiece. With 16mm of usable eye relief, the 27mm Panoptic can be used by eyeglass wearers with almost no vignetting of the field of view. The 27mm Panoptic would be a welcome addition to any serious eyepiece collection.
It weighs a substantial 18 ounces, so you may have to do a little scope rebalancing when you use it with some low friction Dobsonians.
