The time has come to sell one of my all time favourite eyepieces, my Televue 22mm Panoptic, to make way for a 20mm Nagler.
As many may be aware, this eyepiece is very highly regarded in the astronomical community. Steve Coe and Stephen O'Meara, both well regarded astronomical writers, have observed extensively with the 22 Panoptic, and consider it a wonderful medium to low power eyepiece.
Televue rather curiously discontinued production of this eyepiece a few years ago, and it has become something of a collector's piece since then.
Here is a recent thread from Cloudy Nights with various amateurs experiences in various scopes. The overall feeling is overwhelming praise for this humble gem:

I have attached a picture. It comes with original box, caps etc. Apart from the odd little screw mark, it is in pristine condition, the glass is perfect.
Currently Bintel is selling the 24 Panoptic at discount down from $499 to $399. I will sell my beloved 22 Panoptic to you, inclusive of postage, for $320. (NOTE - NOW REDUCED TO $280)
PM me if interested.
