Your cart is empty. Celestron X-Cel LX series eyepieces offer a 60º apparent field of view perfect for the Moon the planets, and a plethora of deep-sky objects. The premium six element optical set is finished with multiple layers of high-transmission coatings for clear sharp images. The edges of the optics are blackened for increased contrast. All seven X-Cel LX eyepieces sport 16mm of comfortable eye relief, and are parfocal which means you can switch out eyepieces within the series during observing sessions and little or no additional focusing will be required.
The X-Cel LX eyepiece body is made of black-anodized aluminum. The pop-up eyecups make it easy to adjust the height for different users. Turn them in one direction to extend the length and the other direction to provide a flat surface preferable to most eyeglass wearers. A treaded rubber grip around the center of the eyepiece barrel offers secure handling even in moist conditions or with heavy gloves on. The 1.25” insert barrel is threaded to accept filters.

Love this eyepiece, lens quality is great definitely better than the ones my scope came with, easy to install and use, the lens is large in size and heavy, would recommend if using lenses provided with celestron’s scope.

It is not the 400 dollar eyepiece. However it is a good budget unit.

High quality EP all the way around. Great feel, etc. It might be too much power for the 8" reflector though. YMMV.

古い人間で、「アッベオルソ」以上の見え味のアイピースを知りませんでした。ところがところが・・・・子のアイピースはレンズ構成枚数が複雑なのに、透明感も素晴らしいうえ、ハイアイで使いやすいです。時代は変わったものです。（望遠鏡は自作20センチ長焦点ニュートン）

L'ho regalato alla mia ragazza per usarlo su un piccolo refrattore (Celestron Travelscope 70, apertura: 70mm, lunghezza focale: 400mm) su cui ha un ingrandimento effettivo di circa 58x.Appena scartato il regalo, pronti, via: siamo scesi in cortile per vedere quel che si poteva (la serata era un po' nuvolosa, eravamo in piena città a Torino e l'ora non era delle migliori).L'oculare risulta luminoso, per essere un 7mm, e per dare un'idea risulta poco meno luminoso del 10mm dato in dotazione col telescopio. Inoltre, è ben fatto e robusto (un po' pesante, ma sono comunque 6 lenti).Nonostante il telescopio sia acromatico e soffra di aberrazione, come si evince dalle foto l'obiettivo le riduce al minimo: nulla che non si possa rimuovere in un minuto con GIMP o Photoshop. Il campo è largo e inquadra totalmente la luna. Siamo riusciti a dare anche una sirciata in fretta e furia a Giove, u cui si vedono le bande e si apprezza molto la qualità superiore rispetto agli oculari dati in dotazione inizialmente.Le foto che vedete sono state scattate da un telefono montato con un adattatore e utilizzando una montatura parecchio instabile (quella data in dotazione al telescopio, sigh). Nonostante tutti gli inconvenienti della serata, riesce a catturare molti dettagli anche utilizzando lo zoom digitale del telefono che, essendo interpolante, fa abbastanza pena (il cratere Tycho che vedete in foto, si osserva molto meglio live!).Quindi, che dire per tirare le somme? Un buon obiettivo che per lei si è rivelato un regalo/investimento da non cambiare nel momento in cui passerà ad un telescopio più avanzato, che è solido e ben costruito e che è in grado di farsi apprezzare anche su attrezzature da principianti!

I'm a bit of a novice to all this but I bought this to give me a bit more detail. I have a 10mm eyepiece but the Field of View is so narrow that it makes it really hard to use. Having used this, I'm now looking to buy either a 5mm and / or replacement 10mm because the FoV is so good. Also, distance of eye from eye piece is good. My 10mm Prossl means i almost have to stick my eye IN the lense, whereas this gives me a bit more distance (eye to lense)

So I have the Powerseeker 114 EQ. It comes with the Standard 20mm and 4mm lens. Both are okay yet I wanted a mode sharper image of Jupiter and Venus. I live in the American South West. At 3,000 ft of elevation.Before I got this I consulted customer support from Celestron about my telescope and he recommended this lens and the X-Cel LX 5mm lens. I got this one now and it works really well. Quick tip get the 20 mm lens to help you find the object the swan it out with this lens to save your self time. Once that’s done you can do the minor adjustments needed to focus and see these distant objects like I have.Things to note my telescope is a Newtonian scope and has a focal length point of 900mm.Please consult celestron customer support before making a decision this will help you with the type of telescope you have

I was amazed at the difference a quality lens will make in viewing. Being a beginner in the stargazing field, I did not know what to expect and was very disappointed with the stock eyepieces that came with my telescope. . After upgrading to this eyepiece along with a 2x Barlow, I was pleasantly surprised to be able to “clearly” see the ring of Saturn. Well worth the price.

I guess you would consider the X-cel eye piece the 3rd tier offering from Celestron (2 up from the eye piece that comes with scope) and let me tell you what a diiference!!To start off with the build quality is vastly superior than that of the standard eye piece and there is a significant weight difference (X-cel the heavier). There is also a noticable size difference that Im sure has to do with whats held inside. The adjustablity is also a huge plus and it comes in its own sturdy container for storage.But what really matters is the perfromance and all I can say here is Wow! The field of view is significantly better. The images are crisper any clearer. Color seems more vibrant and light artifact at the edges of the eye piece seemed markedly reduced. All this for what I feel is a fairly reasonable price ($59.95 sale-%79.95 normal); especially when compairing them to Televue ($200+).Give this brand a shot you wont be disappointed.

I am a novice amateur astronomer so this will not be technical in any way.I bought this to replace a working but inadequate 4mm Orion Plössl eyepiece. The Celestron X-Cel LX 7mm eyepiece is very well built, easy to handle, and the optics are clear without any aparant distortions or defects. This eyepiece also provides very comfortable eye relief and I especially like the screw up eye cup. I am very happy to have added this eyepiece to my telescope accessory collection.
