The Tele Vue Panoptic 41mm eyepiece is a big brother to the 24mm Panoptic (largest 1.25″ field). With its 46mm field stop, the 41mm Panoptic delivers the largest 2″ field possible. An adjustable and removable screw-type top allows quick, comfortable eye positioning. The scalloped shape gives a positive grip.

Concept: Using my Wide-Field design as a starting point, I looked to bring Nagler-like performance to the 60+° field class with the Panoptic series. The idea of a lens to “interface” between the eyepiece and Barlow struck me as the proper way to keep size, weight and cost to a minimum while improving edge of field performance even further. I later developed this idea into the Powermates. — Al Nagler
