Re: 24mm 68-deg Eyepiece Shootout

I have a friend with a 24mm Panoptic and we side by side tested versus my 22mm Panoptic. After an hour or we gave up and declared them identical for any purpose we could determine. We used his 10 inch f/5 Newtonian and my Nexstar 11 SCT. We viewed open clusters, double stars and galaxies and never saw any difference in field of view or edge sharpness. They are both excellent eyepieces.

Clear skies;
