Celestron 93426 X-Cel LX Series - 1.25'' Eyepiece, 25 mm

Not used yet but good quality .

I purchased the 25mm through Amazon. Easy to use, not too fussy about eye position, good sharpness across field of view. I have never used really high end eyepieces so cannot compare to those but this is a step up from basic eyepieces and offers better field of view than plossls.I am using the X-Cel LXs in a C11 with a focal reducer attached i.e. 1800mm focal length and f6.3.I also have the 18mm, 12mm and 9mm versions of this eyepiece. The only issue I have is that the rubber ring at the top of the 12mm came off - this is a known issue with these eyepieces, caused in part by the cap being pretty tight. Was easily solved by gluing the rubber ring back on with superglue. The 25mm has had most use and the rubber ring has been fine on that. The lenses are advertised as parfocal i.e. requiring little or no refocusing when you swap from one focal length to another. I guess "little" is subjective but my set definitely require refocusing when swapped and more than just a little in my opinion.Despite these minor issues I am extremely happy with these lenses and the 25mm in particular.

Good clear views of the moon

The Celestron X-Cel LX 25mm Eyepiece is excellent and a great improvement, (especially for eyes comfort) on the 25mm eyepiece supplied with the telescope and gives a much wider viewing range.

Truly the best addition to my new telescope and interest in astronomy. Feels like quality from the moment you unbox it. Got a celestron 130 astromaster for Christmas and this was my 1st add-on.

I recently purchased the Celestron Xcel LX Series 25mm lens for my Celestron 8 SE telescope, and I couldn't be more pleased with the quality and performance I received, especially considering the reasonable price point.The difference in quality between the Xcel LX Series lens and the ones that came with my telescope is immediately noticeable. The Xcel LX lens provides a significant upgrade in terms of clarity, sharpness, and overall viewing experience.

It enhances the immersive feeling of observing celestial objects, making it easier to locate and appreciate a broader area of the night sky. This is particularly beneficial for celestial navigation and observing larger astronomical phenomena.The 25mm focal length is versatile, providing a good balance between magnification and field of view. It's suitable for observing a variety of celestial objects, from the moon and planets to deep-sky objects like nebulae and galaxies.In summary, the Celestron Xcel LX Series 25mm lens is an excellent investment for anyone looking to enhance the performance of their Celestron 8 SE telescope.

I highly recommend the Celestron Xcel LX Series to fellow enthusiasts looking to take their stargazing experience to the next level.

Funciona perfecto

Ho preso sia il 25 che 12 mm, sono davvero ben fatti, permettono una visione limpida e pulita e sopratutto apprezzo il campo visivo di 60°. Non ho riscontrato il problema che hanno avuto alcuni acquirente che segnalavano impurità all'interno dell'oculare.Mi sarebbe piaciuto che la custodia avesse avuto la serigrafia con indicato il modello, poco male l'ho scritto con il pennarello.Unica nota la canna non è dritta ma ha una scalanatura di tenuta, quindi passando da un oculare all'altro bisogna svitare bene le viti della diagonale per fare uscire l'oculare, rendendo l'operazione di cambio uculare più lenta.A parte questo devi dire che fanno la differenza rispetto agli oculari che avevo in dotazione con il mio Nexstar 127 SLT

Con el telescopio bien colimado el campo está correctamente definido hasta el borde sin apenas coma, la trasmisión de color es correcta. Comparado con el let 26mm 2" Skywatcher se gana en campo visual, nitidez, confort y es más ligero y al no tener que usar el adaptador de 2" desequilibra menos los telescopios cortos, en mi caso un Skywatcher 130 650 pds

Ottima fattura e lenti di qualità, alla prima prova "sul campo" mi ha entusiasmato e conquistato.Una resa ottimale a un prezzo tutto sommato non eccessivo. Il campo apparente è grandissimo, la luminosità eccezionale, la Nebulosa di Orione e vari ammassi globulari mi hanno emozionato, osservati col mio CPC800 e questo oculare.Spedizione Amazon puntuale e in imballo perfetto.Consigliatissimo!
