      I’m thinking about getting a 35 mm panoptic eyepiece for my Orion xt8 dobsonian.

      Any thoughts or insight are appreciated.

        panoptics are great eps. andromeda galaxy and m42 would look sweet in that!

          Colin, it would be a great eyepiece, but it is not small.  You may need to put some wait on the back to balance the scope.

            Thanks for the insight, I actually think I’ll get the 41mm panoptic for my first addition.

            And I see it weighs just over 2 lbs. so I’m pretty sure you’re right about the counterweight.
