The saxon 12.5mm Plossl Eyepiece with illuminated reticle is ideal for people struggle to align their telescope at night. The laser-etched reticle pattern is a dual cross-hair, and the cross-hair focusing mechanism makes this eyepiece ideal if you wear eyeglasses but want to use this eyepiece with or without them. The crosshairs can be focused simply by turning the uppermost knurled ring on the eyepiece in either direction.

With a 40 degree field of view and mid-power magnification, this eyepiece provides a wide area with which to drift align your mount, calibrate finder scopes, manually guide, or center objects prior to attaching a camera to your scope for astrophotography.

With an adjustable illuminator, observers are able to illuminate the reticle just enough to see it clearly while not degrading night vision. This adjustable illuminated reticle eyepiece is a must-have for visual observers and astrophotographers alike. Illuminator requires 3 LR44 batteries (included).
