Eyepiece Omegon Panorama II 5mm 100° 1.25″

Omegon Panorama II 5mm 100° eyepiece 1.25″

If you are looking for an eyepiece that will truly immerse you in the starry sky, the Omegon Panorama II 5mm eyepiece with a 100° field of view is exactly what you need. The Panorama II series from Omegon is among the most popular wide-angle eyepieces on the market, and this 5mm variant is an excellent choice for observing planets, the Moon, and deep-sky objects at high magnification with a supremely comfortable view.

Optical design and image quality

The eyepiece is built around a 9-element optical system with fully multi-coated surfaces on all optical elements. This delivers excellent contrast, high light transmission, and minimal scatter. A key strength of this eyepiece is its ability to maintain sharp images not only at the center but also at the edges of the field of view - even when used with fast telescopes at f/4. This is a truly exceptional quality for a 100° eyepiece, as many competing products suffer from significant aberrations toward the edges. The Omegon Panorama II handles this very well, which is especially appreciated by owners of Newtonians and Dobsonians with short focal ratios.

Comfort and usability

An eye relief of 13mm is an above-average value for a 5mm focal length eyepiece. Observers who wear glasses, or those who prefer not to press their eye tightly against the eyepiece, will find this particularly comfortable. The fold-down rubber eyecup allows easy adjustment of the eye distance - simply fold it up or down as needed. This wide-angle eyepiece with its 100° field of view creates a truly panoramic experience - as if you are floating in space with no frames or boundaries in sight.

Practical features

The Omegon Panorama II 5mm also considers the practical aspects of observing. The eyepiece is waterproof, so it can handle challenging conditions in the field - dew, light rain, and humidity are not a problem. The standard 1.25″ filter thread allows the use of Moon filters, UHC filters, or OIII filters for observing nebulae and galaxies. The compact body is made from quality materials and weighs 320g - solid and well-built, but not excessively heavy.

Compatibility

The Omegon Panorama II 5mm is an excellent choice for observers who want a planetary and lunar eyepiece with maximum field of view without compromising on image quality. It is suitable for telescopes with a wide range of focal ratios - from slower refractors to fast Newtonians from f/4 onwards. If you want to get the most out of your observing sessions and experience that unforgettable feeling of being "immersed" in the universe, this eyepiece will not disappoint.
