The world’s finest commercially available illuminated reticle.

Excellent accessory for aligning my LX90 telescope.I use my 32mm eyepiece to place the align star in the center of the field and then I use this eyepiece to center the star. This weekend after alignment my telescope placed all of my target objects in the center of the field. I viewed Jupiter, Neptune, Uranus, Andromeda Galaxy and much more.

looks good at the first glance. I would have hoped for a somewhat nicer packaging as it only comes in a plastic bag without an ezecap on the side where you look in. probably good quality but would have excpected nicer packaging for 80$.

2.0 out of 5 stars Very difficult to align set screws, February 17, 2010

This might be a great item for the very well experienced, but the item is very difficult to recenter if you move any of the set screws the smallest amount. I inadvertently tightened a thumb screw when I replaced the batteries. I have never been able to accurately realign the center target, and $90 is going in the trash. I cannot see any reason to have such a wide range of adjustments possible on an eyepiece used to center for initial alignment to begin with. Additionally, there was so much lubricant on the recitile frame, a tiny amount smeared when moving the adjustment screws. There is now a distortion when illuminated. I am switching to an Orion with a fixed rectile.
