I'm leaning towards a Panoptic 24mm as I already have a tele vue Barlow that I could use with the 1.25 inch barrel it has. The 27mm has a 2 inch. I have a 30mm gso eyepiece that came with the scope and am leaning towards the 24mm that has a bit higher magnification.
Do many of you use Panoptics regularly that can give some feedback? I think the fov is ideal for my liking.
Thanks in advance, Tim.

Hi Tim. I have the 24mm Panoptic, bought it in 2022 as my first ever Televue eyepiece. My scope is a Saxon 10 inch f4.7 dob. You will definitely love it, 68° AFOV with great contrast and image sharpness! It is among my most used eyepieces.
I have acquired a taste for Televue and APM Skyrover 100° eyepieces, absolutely incredible and not just because of the wide field of view. The contrast and sharpness is next level! Televue eyepieces are the top of the heap and you can't go wrong with them.
