Celestron X-Cel LX 7mm 60° Eyepiece 1.25″
The Celestron X-Cel LX 7mm eyepiece represents a high-quality optical component designed for serious astronomy enthusiasts and beginning observers alike. This innovative eyepiece with a 1.25″ barrel diameter offers a 7mm focal length, which is ideal for observing planets, double stars, and other astronomical objects requiring higher magnification. The **60° apparent field of view** provides comfortable and wide viewing of observed objects, while the 16mm eye relief ensures comfortable observation even during extended telescope sessions.
Premium Optical Performance
The X-Cel LX series represents an excellent compromise between price and performance in the field of telescopic eyepieces. The eyepiece construction utilizes modern optical elements with quality coatings that minimize light loss and ensure sharp, high-contrast images across the entire field of view. The ergonomic design with rubber eyecup provides maximum comfort during observation while protecting against stray light. The eyepiece is compatible with all telescopes featuring 1.25″ focusers, making it a universal accessory for a wide range of astronomical instruments.
Ideal for Planetary Observation
Thanks to its **7mm focal length, this eyepiece** is an excellent choice for observing planets in our Solar System. Jupiter and its moons, Saturn's rings, Venus phases, or surface features on Mars - all can be observed with significantly better detail than with eyepieces commonly supplied with telescopes. The eyepiece also proves effective when observing double stars, where higher magnification helps separate close stellar pairs, and when studying lunar craters and other surface features of our closest celestial neighbor.
