  • Immersive 68° field delivers expansive edge-to-edge views
  • Six-element optics produce high-contrast images with minimal distortion

19 mm 68° Panoptic eyepiece

The Tele Vue Panoptic 19 mm delivers a 68° apparent field of view for immersive wide-angle astronomy and terrestrial observing. Six lens elements with multi-coatings and blackened edges provide high contrast and minimal distortion across the field. A 1.25" barrel fits most focusers and the eyepiece is parfocal with 15 mm and smaller Plossls and Naglers.

Installation and common issues

Slip the 1.25" barrel into the focuser and secure it with the locking screw; the undercut groove adds extra holding power. Rubber grip rings make insertion and removal easier, especially with cold hands. The only frequent annoyance is forgetting to remove the eyeguard cover before viewing, which blocks the full 68° field until taken off.

Capacity and headroom

The 19 mm focal length suits mid-power deep-sky and planetary work, and the 13 mm eye relief allows comfortable viewing with or without glasses. It pairs perfectly with the Bino Vue for binocular observing. Observers needing higher magnification or a wider true field will require shorter or longer focal-length eyepieces respectively.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the eyepiece is performing correctly once installed?

You should see a sharp 68° field with high contrast from centre to edge, and the 13 mm eye relief should allow comfortable viewing with or without glasses.

What comes in the box and what must I purchase separately?

The eyepiece includes a dust cover for the eyeguard, rubber grip rings and built-in filter threads; any filters or a Barlow lens would be separate purchases.

Which focal length suits mid-power use with my existing 15 mm Plossl or Nagler?

The 19 mm model is parfocal with the 15 mm and smaller Plossls and Naglers, so you can swap between them without refocusing.
