Description

Housed in a 2" barrel like the 35mm, the 27mm is lighter & smaller. It's perfect for any telescope size, type or speed, where a little more magnification is desired, yet still allows full field viewing with eyeglasses. For example, with the Tele Vue-85, it gives 22x and a true field of 2.9 degrees!

The Televue Wide-Field design was the starting point for the design of the Panoptic. A lens interface between the eyepiece and Barlow lens was added as a way to keep size, weight, and cost to a minimum while improving edge of field performance even further.

Standard on all Panoptics

  • multi-coatings
  • blackened lens edges
  • filter threads
  • rubber grip rings
  • cover for the eyeguard
  • an undercut in the barrel for extra locking security

Claire ★★★★★

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.

Matthew ★★★★★

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.

Nicholas ★★★★★

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.
