BEST ACCESSORIES FOR YOUR TELESCOPE
From beating light pollution to superb visuals of the planets and galaxies, Celestron has everything you need for superb views of the night sky
Ultima Edge
These flat-field eyepieces are designed to provide an ultra-sharp, ultra-clear, crisp image from the centre all the way to the edge of the field of view. The Ultima Edge eyepiece features fully multicoated optics and a nine-element lens design, maximising light transmission. The Ultima Edge range – which includes 10mm, 15mm, 18mm, 24mm and 30mm for low and high-powered magnification – include a generous field of view, perfect for viewing planets, stars, deep-sky targets and the Moon’s surface. The 1.25” or 2” mounting barrel is internally threaded to accept standard 1.25” or 2” filters and adapters. It is compatible with 1.25” or 2” star diagonals and focusers. On the exterior of the eyepiece, you will find a uniquely designed moulded rubber grip ring for non-slip handling. Viewing through the Ultima Edge eyepiece is comfortable for both eyeglass wearers and non-eyeglass wearers alike, thanks to the folddown rubber eyecups and long eye relief.
E-lux
Get more light to your eye and enjoy the lowpower, wide-field views of Celestron’s E-lux 2” eyepieces, offered in focal lengths of 26mm, 32mm and 40mm. Designed to be used with any telescope with a 2” focuser, the Celestron E-lux eyepiece is a three-element, fully multi-coated Kellner design that offers a great magnification and field of view for viewing planets, stars, deepsky targets and the Moon’s surface. The E-Lux range has a main housing that is machined from high-grade aluminium with a black anodised outer surface. The internal surface of the mounting barrel has been machined with light dispersion threads that are painted matte black to cut down on internal reflections for a clear viewing experience.
Omni
Celestron Omni series eyepieces, which include focal lengths of 4mm, 6mm, 9mm, 12mm, 15mm, 32mm, 40mm and 56mm, offer a 50-degree apparent field of view, perfect for the Moon, planets and a plethora of deep-sky objects. The premium four-element optical set is finished with multiple layers of high-transmission coatings for clear, sharp images. The edges of the optics are blackened for increased contrast. The Omni eyepiece body is made of aluminium. A two-step anodising process results in a beautiful matte finish that resists reflections and glare. Each eyepiece in the Omni Series includes a black rubber eyecup. It can be left up or folded down for better observations while wearing eyeglasses. The longer barrelled 15mm, 32mm and 40mm eyepieces include a rubberised grip for non-slip handling during observing sessions. The insert barrel is threaded to accept 1.25” or 2” filters.
X-Cel LX
Celestron X-Cel LX series eyepieces offer a 60-degree apparent field of view, perfect for the Moon, the planets and a plethora of deep-sky objects. The premium six-element optical set is finished with multiple layers of high-transmission coatings for clear, sharp images. The edges of the optics are blackened for increased contrast. All seven X-Cel LX eyepieces – 2.3mm, 5mm, 7mm, 9mm, 12mm, 18mm and 25mm – sport 16mm of comfortable eye relief and are parfocal, which means you can switch out eyepieces within the series during observing sessions and little or no additional focusing will be required. Premium 3x and 2x Barlow lenses are included in the range.
The X-Cel LX eyepiece body is made of blackanodised aluminium. The pop-up eyecups make it easy to adjust the height for different users. Turn them in one direction to extend the length and the other direction to provide a flat surface, preferable to most eyeglass wearers.
Luminos
The Luminos series offer a wide 82-degree field of view in both high-power and low-power models, allowing you to make the most of your telescope whether you own a short, fast refractor or a Celestron EdgeHD telescope. The optical set consists of six or seven elements, depending on the model, and is fully multi-coated for crisp, sharp views. All six Luminos eyepieces – 7mm, 10mm, 15mm, 19mm, 23mm and 31mm – are parfocal, which means you can switch out eyepieces during observing sessions with little or no additional focusing required. A 2.5x Barlow lens is also included in the series. The Luminos eyepiece body is made of polished and anodised aluminium. A rubber grip runs around the equator of the eyepiece, giving you a secure grip and an easy method for raising and lowering the retractable eyecup. Simply twist the rubber grip to adjust the height of the eyecup. The insert barrel, either 1.25” or 2”, is threaded to accept filters.
