Celestron X-Cel LX 5mm Eyepiece – 1.25"

Ultra-High Power Eyepiece for Lunar and Planetary Detail

The Celestron X-Cel LX 5mm eyepiece is engineered for high-resolution views of the Moon, planets, and double stars—delivering the extreme magnification needed to study fine detail. Ideal for advanced astronomers and observers with long focal length telescopes, this premium eyepiece combines excellent optical performance with comfort-focused design.

Exceptional Optical Performance

• 5mm Focal Length – Maximum Magnification
  Perfect for close-up inspection of lunar craters, Saturn’s Cassini Division, or Jupiter’s atmospheric bands—when atmospheric seeing allows.

• Six-Element Optical Design
  Delivers bright, flat-field images with outstanding sharpness and contrast across the full 60° apparent field of view.

• Fully Multi-Coated Lenses
  Enhances light transmission and minimises reflections for crisp, high-contrast views, even at high magnifications.

• Blackened Lens Edges
  Reduces internal scatter and boosts contrast, especially useful during lunar or planetary viewing.

User-Friendly Features

• 60° Apparent Field of View
  Offers a wider, more immersive viewing experience than standard high-power Plössl eyepieces—ideal for tracking fast-moving objects.

• 16mm Long Eye Relief
  Provides comfortable viewing for both eyeglass wearers and non-eyeglass users—rare in such high-magnification eyepieces.

• Twist-Up Rubber Eyecup
  Adjusts smoothly to your preference—great for adapting to different observing styles or for sharing views with others.

• Knurled Rubber Grip Ring
  Ensures a secure hold, even with gloves or in damp conditions.

Compatible and Versatile

• 1.25” Standard Barrel
  Fits all 1.25” focusers and star diagonals.

• Filter Threaded
  Accepts standard 1.25” astronomy filters—use a Moon or planetary filter to further enhance contrast and surface detail.

• Parfocal with X-Cel LX Series
  Seamlessly switch between focal lengths in the X-Cel LX range with minimal need for refocusing.

Ideal For:

• Lunar and planetary detail at high magnification

• Double star splitting

• Telescopes with longer focal lengths (e.g., Maksutovs and SCTs)

• Advanced observers under steady seeing conditions

With its high-quality optics and user-centred design, the Celestron X-Cel LX 5mm Eyepiece is your go-to choice for ultra-high magnification performance. It combines clarity, comfort, and durability—allowing you to push your telescope to its visual limits.
