Eyepieces

The 40mm low power Omni eyepiece is a 4 -element premium symmetrical Plossl optical design. Features include blackened lens edges to minimize internal reflection and maximize contrast, multi-layer coating group on each lens surface to maximize light transmission and contrast, and each Omni goes through a two-step anodizing process to prevent reflection from the top eyepiece barrel, unlike most other manufactures who use reflective surfaces.

The newly enhanced X-Cel LX eyepiece series is what you've been waiting for in a high quality eyepiece for planetary viewing.  With a brand new sleek, robust design and a twist-up eye guard, these eyepieces are especially designed for comfort and ease of use.  They also have a wide 60° field of view and 6-element fully multi-coated optics for magnificent wide field performance.  X-Cel LX eyepieces are parfocal and require little to no focusing when changing from low to high power.

The 5mm 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° apparent field of view, and a large 25mm clear aperture the X-Cel is one of the most comfortable eyepieces to use.

The 6mm high power 1 1/4" E-Lux eyepiece is a 4-element Plössl with features that maximize it's performance at a very economical price.

Features of this series include fully coated lenses (every air to glass surface is coated with anti-reflective coatings), eyepiece cups to reduce stray light, and each model is threaded for use with eyepiece filters.

 Celestron offers these premium eyepieces at affordable prices, yet they're among the best designed and corrected eyepieces available. They're multicoated (not just fully coated) for enhanced contrast and all are threaded to accept Celestron colored eyepiece filters.

In a recent Sky & Telescope review, Celestron's Plössl eyepieces were rated as top ranking, and found to outperform many similar, but more expensive eyepieces. An exceptional value! Performance rivals the LV eyepieces.
