Only used it at home so far in my 66mm refractor. It's very sharp, and the 55º AFOV certainly has a nicer feel than 50º, although there is some angular magnification near the edges. The colour seems quite neutral. It's much better with the rubber eyeguard.

I've compared it a few times with my Panoptic 19mm. So far the Pan outperforms it slightly in all areas. But using a 66mm scope in a heavily light-polluted area is hardly a definitive test! If/when I get out with my Newtonian then I'll be able to make a better judgement.

What I'll say for now is that my impressions are very positive. I can certainly understand why there have been such glowing reviews of them.
