The Tack-Sharp, Long Eye-Relief 68 degree Field Eyepiece
Concept: Using my Wide-Field design as a starting point, I looked to bring Nagler-like
performance to the 60 degree+ field class with the Panoptic series. The idea of a lens to
"interface" between the eyepiece and Barlow struck me as the proper way to keep size, weight and
cost to a minimum while improving edge of field performance even further. I later developed this
idea into the Powermates. -Al Nagler
With the Panoptic series, Tele Vue has taken the Wide-Field concept to Nagler-like performance
levels - A meaningful advance over any eyepiece in its 68 degree field class.
