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.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Features<\/h3>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>60 degree apparent field of view<\/li>\n\n\n<li>16 mm eye relief, also usable with glasses<\/li>\n\n\n<li>6 fully multi-coated lenses in 4 groups<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Removable eye shell<\/li>\n\n\n<li>1.25 inch vatting met filterdraad<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Paraphotographic with the other X-Cel LX eyepieces: after changing them, you hardly need to refocus<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Compatibility<\/h3>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fits any 1.25-inch focuser or zenith mirror.
