Celestron X-Cel LX 5mm 1.25" Eyepiece

The Celestron X-Cel LX 5mm Eyepiece is a premium high-power telescope eyepiece designed for sharp lunar, planetary, and compact deep-sky observations. With its dedicated 5mm focal length, this high-precision astronomy accessory significantly boosts your telescope’s magnification, making it ideal for revealing fine surface details on the Moon, Saturn’s rings, and Jupiter’s atmospheric bands. For users seeking even greater magnification, pairing this eyepiece with a 2x Barlow lens delivers an effective 2.5mm focal length, offering exceptionally detailed, high-contrast planetary views.

Engineered as part of the Celestron X-Cel LX eyepiece series, this model features a six-element fully multi-coated optical design that provides enhanced brightness, superior contrast, and reduced chromatic aberration. Blackened lens edges further minimise internal reflections which ensures crisp, high-definition views across the entire field.

Built for durability and ease of use, the eyepiece features a robust black-anodised aluminium body with a non-slip rubber grip, delivering secure handling even in cold conditions. The twist-up eyecup design and 16mm eye relief ensure comfortable viewing for both eyeglass and non-eyeglass users. Its 1.25-inch barrel is threaded to accommodate all standard 1.25” telescope filters, providing added versatility for various observing conditions.

This 5mm X-Cel LX eyepiece is a reliable, high-performance choice for astronomers, retailers, and telescope dealers seeking a top-quality optical upgrade compatible with most major telescope brands.
