Omegon Panorama II 15mm 2" Eyepiece 100°
Step Into the Universe – Not Just Look At It
Imagine looking through your telescope and feeling like you're floating in space rather than peering through a narrow tube. The Omegon Panorama II 100° ultra-wide angle eyepiece doesn't just show you the sky – it immerses you in it. With a breathtaking 100-degree apparent field of view, the edges of your vision nearly disappear, creating a window into the cosmos that feels limitless.
See 300% More Sky
Standard eyepieces are like looking through a tunnel. Even typical wide-angle eyepieces at 70° can feel restrictive. The Panorama II changes everything:
Compared to classic Plössl eyepieces: You see up to 300% more sky in a single view
Compared to 70° wide-angles: Double the visible area
The result? Entire star clusters fit in one field. Large nebulae reveal their full structure. Star-hopping between celestial landmarks becomes effortless and intuitive.
Exceptional Optical Performance
A wide field means nothing if the image quality suffers. The Panorama II delivers outstanding sharpness edge-to-edge, even in fast telescopes:
8-element optical design: Sophisticated construction that maintains sharpness across the entire 100° field
Fully Multi-Coated (FMC): Every air-to-glass surface treated with multiple anti-reflection layers for maximum light transmission and contrast
Blackened lens edges: Enhanced contrast by eliminating internal reflections
Fast telescope compatible: Excellent performance down to f/4.5, usable even at f/4 – where many eyepieces show severe edge softness
What You'll Experience
Deep-Sky Objects: The Orion Nebula fills your view with intricate detail. The Andromeda Galaxy stretches across the field in its full glory. Open clusters like the Pleiades fit entirely in frame with stars remaining sharp to the edges.
Planetary Observation: Jupiter's cloud bands and zones show excellent contrast and detail. Saturn floats in a sea of stars, its ring system crisp and well-defined. High contrast reveals subtle features other eyepieces miss.
Star-Hopping Navigation: The immersive field makes finding objects a joy rather than a chore. You see enough surrounding stars to easily navigate between targets, making the Panorama II perfect for manual telescope operation.
Built for Real-World Observing
Waterproof Construction: While not designed for underwater use, the sealed design protects against moisture and dust. Clean the eyepiece without worry – no liquids will penetrate the optical assembly. Your investment stays pristine for years.
Comfortable Eye Relief: The 15mm model offers 20mm of eye relief, making it comfortable for eyeglass wearers. The twist-up eyecup adjusts to your preference, whether you observe with or without glasses.
Substantial Yet Manageable: At 600g, this eyepiece has the heft of quality optics without being unwieldy. The robust aluminum body feels solid and inspires confidence.
Professional Features
Parfocal Design: All Panorama II eyepieces are parfocal with each other – swap between focal lengths without refocusing. This makes eyepiece changes quick and seamless during observing sessions.
Standard 2" Barrel: Fits all 2" focusers and diagonals. The precision-machined barrel ensures secure, wobble-free mounting.
Threaded for Filters: 2" filter threads allow you to add nebula filters, light pollution filters, or color filters to enhance your observations.
Twist-Up Eyecup: Adjustable eyecup positions perfectly for your viewing comfort
The Complete Panorama II Series
The 15mm focal length is part of a carefully designed series:
• 21mm (2") – Widest true field views
• 15mm (2") – Versatile mid-range power
• 10mm (1.25") – Higher magnification deep-sky
• 5mm (1.25") – Planetary detail with wide comfort
All models share the same exceptional optical quality and 100° apparent field.
Who Will Love This Eyepiece?
Deep-sky enthusiasts who want to see nebulae and galaxies in their full context
Star party hosts looking to create "wow" moments for public viewers
Fast Newtonian owners (f/5 to f/4) seeking eyepieces that actually work well with their telescopes
Observers who wear glasses and need comfortable eye relief
Anyone tired of narrow fields who wants a more immersive astronomical experience
Upgrade Your Telescope's Potential
Your telescope's optical tube is only half the equation. The eyepiece is where you actually experience the view, where light gathered by your aperture transforms into the images you see. A premium eyepiece like the Panorama II can reveal capabilities in your telescope you didn't know existed.
The difference between looking through a standard eyepiece and the Panorama II is like comparing a small window to a panoramic skylight. Same telescope, dramatically different experience.
