Product Description

SOLD

This eyepiece was on display in our showroom. It was used less then a handful of times and is in perfect condition.

The 8mm high power X-Cel eyepiece is a 6-element fully multi-coated optical design, the X-Cel utilizes extra low dispersion (ED) glass on its most highly curved surfaces, to minimize chromatic aberration that can hinder sharp planetary views. With a wide 55 degree apparent field of view, and a large 25mm clear aperture the X-Cel is one of the most comfortable eyepieces to use.

Every X-Cel eyepiece is parfocal with each other, meaning little or no focusing is needed when changing from low to high power. The X-Cel comes with soft rubber eyecups and a durable plastic case. In addition, if you are an eyeglass wearer, you will enjoy the 20mm eye relief available on each of the X-Cel focal lengths.Threaded barrels accept 1-1/4" thread-in filters.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Eyepiece, but can't use filters, October 13, 2003

This review is from: Celestron X-CEL Series 1-1/4" 8mm Eyepiece (Electronics)

Close inspection of the threads on the eyepiece revealed no damage, however non of my filters (orion, baader) will screw on to the threads. I own a number of other Celestron eyepieces, and all of my filters fit them just fine.
The eyepiece itself is very nice. Wide fov, and good eye relief. Just forget about using a filter with it.
