Celestron X-CEL 5mm

i have use two of this eyepiece with a baader binoviewer on a 150/750 refractor f5, the barril of the eyepiece is little too big, it provide sharp and clear views on the planets, but don't try to use it on the moon : it very dificult to keep your eye in the good position. finally, i send them back for change with vixen lvw 3.5... this vixen may be the besty choose for high power view of the moon : sharp edge to edge,very small color for a f5 view, little darker then celeston ploss or div ortho, but for a good deal. Conclusion :xcel 5 mm can be use only for planetary views, and be sure that you get an eypiece for the money you pay for ! nothing more.

Celestron X-CEL 5mm

I bought this eyepiece for $80 for high power viewing with long eye relief. Unfortunately I found it hard to position my eye, and often saw kidney-beaning. I returned the eyepiece for the celestron omni barlow and plossl instead. I love the new view! Clear, crisp and no distortion.
