Does anybody know how this eyepeice compares to the TeleVue 24mm Panoptic in terms of performance, light transmission, sharpness, etc?

The Explore Scientific is a superb eyepiece. Even light transmission, tack sharp images right up to the edge of the field. Furthermore the FOV and eyecup to block out any outside light are a great asset. I can't compare to the TeleVue because I never used one. I'm sure the differences are extremely minor, except for the price difference!

Do you all actually test every eyepiece in a meter of water for 30 minutes?

Yes, each eyepiece is tested exactly as stated – at least 30 minutes in 1 meter of water.

I am ordering an 8" Orion Intelliscope which comes with 1.25 eyepiece..........will I need an adapter ring to use the 2" ?

The 8" Orion Intelliscope comes with a 2" crayford style focuser. It has a 1.25 adapter. Have fun-good scope.
