Vai al moduloThe TeleVue Panoptic 27mm brings the Nagler wide-angle concept into a more affordable price bracket: 6 optical elements, a 68° apparent field of view and a 2" barrel for low-power deep-sky observing. With a 30.5mm field stop and modest weight, it's the lightest and most compact of the 2" Panoptics — ideal when a bit more magnification than the 35mm is wanted, without giving up a very wide true field.
Al Nagler's design for an affordable wide-angle eyepiece
With the Panoptic series, Al Nagler set out to bring Nagler-like performance in the 60°+ field class at a lower cost. The idea of an "interface" lens between eyepiece and Barlow, born from this very project, later evolved into the TeleVue Powermates. The result is an eyepiece that offers much of the Nagler line's optical quality, at significantly less weight and bulk than the larger 2" models in the range.
Comfortable even for eyeglass wearers
With 19mm of eye relief, the Panoptic 27mm allows full-field observing even while wearing glasses. The entire Panoptic series is parfocal: switching eyepieces requires no refocusing.
Construction and compatibility
The 2" (50.8mm) barrel features filter threads for standard astronomy filters, a safety undercut groove and a rubber grip. The eyecup is fold-down. The proprietary TeleVue multi-layer coating and blackened lens edges ensure sharp, high-contrast images even on fast Newtonian telescopes down to f/5.

Who it's recommended for
