Televue EP Question

Hi, I have an older Televue 24mm WF, purchased quite a few years ago. It has very nice views, and I use it quite a bit. I was wondering if anyone had some info on this EP. Is it a plossel? Is it a pre-cursor to the Nagler or Radian? Is it a 60 degree?

Is it worth changing to a 24mm Panoptic- or should I stay with this. I read so much about the "space walk" "porthole" experience that I am curious.

Thanks for your opinions,

Ivan

I have the 24 and have used it for years. A great eyepiece. To supplement it I skipped the Panoptics, which I hear are a bit better, and went directly to a 20 Nagler2 with its 82 degree field, a great eyepiece unfortunately now out of production. But I am also very happy with the 24 which is much lighter and hence very convenient on smaller socpes.

If the weather ever clears, we can do a side-by-side comparison with my 27mm Pan in the Obsession...
