Hello All
Would someone be able to explain to me not so much the specification differences (i.e. 68 v 82 fov or 19mm v 27mm ER etc) but the relative Pro's and Con's of these apparently two closely competing eyepieces both made by Televue.
I have attempted to research this issue myself via various sites available on the WWW and to paraphrase the various issues some describe it as:
A) The 41mm Panoptic is the 'poor-mans' substitute for the 31 Nagler. Thus, the Panoptic does about 90% of what the Nagler can at a much cheaper price -OR -
B) Due to various design features the 41mm Panoptic excells and is more suited to reflectors (eg SCTs) whereas the 31 Nagler is best in refractors -OR -
C) The 41 Panoptic will provide a brighter (light through-put), sharper image with a slightly larger fov (at a lower magnification) whereas the Nagler will give a more immersive view with slightly better contrast (due to its magnification)
I would welcome any input anyone might have concerning the relative merits of these two eyepieces
