I owned a 10” dob y for 2 years and now have a Skywatcher 12” Goto dob
I’ve built up a collection of Televue eye pieces over 4 years and apart from the wow factor of the 21mm ethos my next favourite eye piece would be the 27mm Panoptic ,followed by the 17.3mm Delos
The 27mm Panoptic is a very versatile eye piece , plenty of eye relief , 68 degrees AFOV, good colour and contrast and no issue with kidney beaning, glare or aberration
I use it mainly for globular clusters, open clusters , the smaller Nebula with a Ultra High Contrast filter and the brighter galaxies

For your first Televue eye piece , the 27mm Panoptic is a great choice

NB: Forgot to mention that I observe under Bortle 3 skies

Clear Skies
