Review
Listed as a Sky and Telescope "Hot Product" when released, the 41mm Panoptic eyepiece is the big brother to the 24mm Panoptic (largest 1.25" field).
With its 46mm field stop, the 41mm Panoptic delivers the largest 2" field possible.
Because of its long focal length, it is brilliant in SCTs. It is ideal for observing large emission and reflection nebulae and Supernova remnants. The 19mm of eye relief means that eyeglass wearers can see the whole field of view with no vignetting. An adjustable and removable screw-type top allows quick, comfortable eye positioning. The scalloped shape gives a positive grip. It has a soft rubber eyecup for comfort which can be rolled down or left up.
