Tele Vue Panoptic 41mm 2 inch oculair

The Tele Vue Panoptic 41mm 2" Eyepiece delivers an immersive 68° apparent field of view with exceptional edge-to-edge sharpness, making it a top choice for wide-field deep-sky observation. Designed for 2" focusers, this eyepiece offers generous 27mm eye relief and a parfocal design that simplifies switching between Tele Vue eyepieces without refocusing.

Advantages
