djpaul Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Hi Everyone Would a TeleVue 35mm Panoptic be a good choice for my SW 120ED ? It would only give me 25x Mag. Im after an EP that gives me a wide view of the skies without breaking the bank too hard Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedledee Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) You'd get a nice 2.6 degree true field with the 35 Pan That would nicely frame some bigger star clusters. It would be good for the Andromeda galaxy and scanning the Milky Way Edited October 30, 2015 by Tweedledee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedledee Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 The SW Panaview, Aero or ES 68 degree eyepiece would give you a very similar view for a cheaper price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djpaul Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 Hi Peter Do you know if they are sharp to the edge of field? Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedledee Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Have a read at this... http://www.scopereviews.com/page4.html The Panoptics are probably a little sharper toward the edge than the cheaper alternatives but all those mentioned should give good crisp views. The Panoptics are probably double the cost of the others, but you won't think they are twice as good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djpaul Posted November 4, 2015 Author Share Posted November 4, 2015 Hi Ron Glad to hear you rate the S.W 32mm panaview. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAZ Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I have the 26mm and the 38mm Panaview. I really get on with them, they work just right for me, the 38mm gives me a cracking view of the Veil Nebula with a 2" UHC in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
