Hi Refet

I don't know whether 24mm would be better than 19mm. I really like my 24mm Pan. It is very well behaved and has good eye relief for my taste.

Had thought about buying a 19mm Pan, but the published eye relief of the 19mm Pan is shorter. Maybe I have longer than average eyelashes, but short eye relief eyepieces, I tend to get them gunked up with eyelash oil and have to clean them too often.

I read a couple of years ago that 19mm Pans would probably be discontinued by Televue. Dunno if that was unfounded rumor. If that is possible, then if you have some 19mm Pans and do not need the money out of them right away, then in the future if you keep them in mint condition perhaps they would appreciate in value? I don't know. Just wondering.

Hello, I am almost exclusively a binoviewer. I use 24mm Panoptics in my Denk II BV with Power X switch and obtained them after using the 19mm Panoptics. There is nothing wrong with the 19mm Pans, but with your power X switch you'll have a nice range which will include the widest field you can see in a 1.25 inch eyepiece with the 24mm Pans. The 24mm Panoptitcs I think would be the first choice and the 19mm version not far behind, but the difference is observable and worth the extra $. I have used this combination in refractors, SCTs, reflectors, Maks etc. Unless I get a Binoviewer with 2 inch eyepiece capability, I'll probably stick with my 24mm Pans.
