The Tele Vue 24mm Panoptic is a much smaller and lighter eyepiece and offers maximum true field in the 1.25” barrel at 68 deg apparent field. It is useful in your kit if you have any telescopes that are 1.25” only. It complements the TV-60 refractor nicely for example. The 24 Pan is also parfocal with the Type 6 Naglers, DeLites, and most Delos, some Ethos and 19 Pan.

The Tele Vue 22mm Type 4 Nagler has of course the 82 deg apparent field and a wider field stop diameter than the 24 Pan and therefore larger true field. It is a 2” eyepiece and pairs with a Paracorr nicely in a Newtonian for a very clean view. It is a relatively heavy eyepiece at 3x that of the 24 Pan. The 22NT4 complements the 31mm Type 5 Nagler nicely should you have one of these.
