Hey #astronomers ! What are your thoughts about Tele Vue re-releasing their famous 24mm Panoptic eyepiece but now without undercuts? It also appears production has shifted from Taiwan to Japan. If you have an existing 24mm Pan with the undercuts, would you consider buying the new one? If you were holding off, does the lack of an undercut encourage you to buy one? Note, Tele Vue's new range of Type 7 Naglers are also sans-undercut!

Personally, I've never had a problem with undercuts, and all my Tele Vue eyepieces have them. But I don't own the 24mm Panoptic. The fact it has no undercut has no influence on whether I'd buy one or not. How about you?

It was a bit cloudy earlier, but just stepped outside and seen Jupiter and Mars, bright as buttons. Orion and the Southern Cross are clearly visible and the Milky Way is sitting above our house 😃.

Close to Orion was Sirius, which was brighter than Jupiter tonight, and I learned that a bright, blue coloured star near Sirius is called Mirzam. 🙂
