Panoptic 68° Eyepiece | 27mm

Switching to this 27mm from my usual 25mm, the noticeably wider field of view is a game changer for scanning the Milky Way. It’s light enough that my small telescope’s focuser handles it without drooping.

I was worried this would be too heavy for my travel scope, but it's actually quite compact and balances well. The 68° field is noticeably wider than my old 50-degree eyepiece, making scanning much more immersive.

The 27mm is noticeably lighter than my other 2" eyepiece, which makes balancing the scope much easier. I'm getting sharp, crisp views of the moon with plenty of detail. This is a great middle-ground for when I want more magnification than the 35mm.
