The Panoptic 24 mm produces very sharp pictures even if used on a fast f/4.5 telescope where only the very outer areas show slightly deformed stars. Using the eyepiece lets you enjoy pictures with rich contrast and a very comfortable field of view overlooking also bigger celestial objects.
The Panoptic 24mm is a terrific eyepiece
