Clear Skies
A 2-inch 35mm Panoptic can work really well in small achromats. The combination is great for sweeping views of the Milky Way from a dark sky site, especially with larger 120mm apertures. Field curvature can be removed by using a TSFLAT2 flattener.

This approach was discussed in a recent episode of The Actual Astronomy Podcast, namely episode #483 -- Affordable Wide-Field Astronomy with Brian Ventrudo
