Celestron X-Cel LX 5mm eyepiece

The Celestron X-Cel LX 5mm is a short-focal-length eyepiece that provides high magnification for a telescope and is particularly suitable for observing details on the Moon and the planets. The 60-degree apparent field of view is also sufficient for observing many deep-sky objects. Take a look at our other products too accessories for astronomical telescopes.

Adjustable eyecup for different viewers

The rubber funnel, which is raised by turning, can be adjusted to suit the wearer: turning it in one direction makes it longer, whilst turning it in the other direction lowers it to a flat position, which suits most spectacle wearers. The funnel also blocks side light and improves contrast.

Changing the eyepiece without refocusing

All seven X-Cel LX eyepieces in the series are parfocal. When changing eyepieces within the series during observation, the focus requires little or no adjustment.
