Warranty 5 years Telescope Eyepiece Formula To calculate the magnification and approximate actual field of view of this eyepiece on your telescope, enter the focal length of your telescope below and press the "Calculate" button. mm

You can use the calculator below to see just how wide the field will be with your particular telescope. For example, it will give you a 1.43 degree field at 48x with a 10" f/4.5 Dobsonian. This gives you over five and a half minutes of uninterrupted observing with such a scope while an object drifts from one side of the eyepiece’s flat field to the other. That’s plenty of time for multiple observers to look at the same object, or for you to absorb as much detail as possible, before having to reposition the scope.

An excellent eyepiece for observing galaxy clusters, framing emission nebulas with the black of space, observing the nebulosity around the Pleiades, etc. The 24mm Panoptic would be a welcome addition to any serious deep space observer’s eyepiece collection.
