Celestron X-Cel LX 5 mm Eyepiece (60°, 1.25 inch)

Celestron X-Cel LX 5 mm eyepiece

The Celestron X-Cel LX 5 mm is an eyepiece with a 60-degree apparent field of view and 16 mm eye relief, allowing you to see the entire image even with glasses. Six fully multi-coated lenses in four groups provide a clear and contrast-rich image. You can rotate the eyepiece to the distance that is comfortable for you.

For planets, the moon and double stars. With a telescope with a 1200 mm focal brandpoint or larger, 5 mm is only usable on nights with calm air. You can calculate the magnification by dividing the focal brandpoint of your telescope by 5: at 750 mm it is 150x, at 1200 mm 240x.
