The Celestron X-Cel LX 2.3mm is a 1.25-inch eyepiece optimised for planetary observation, whose short focal length brings out the fine details of the Moon and the planets. Its six-element, fully multi-coated optics and 60-degree apparent field of view also make it suitable for viewing many deep-sky objects.

Adjustable eye protection and a secure grip

The swivelling rubber eye shield can be raised or lowered to a flat position, allowing its height to be adjusted to suit different viewers and those who wear spectacles. The grooved rubber surface in the centre of the frame ensures a secure grip in damp conditions and when wearing thick gloves.
