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$.

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.
