Celestron Luminos 10 mm eyepiece Telescope 1.2 cm Black Blue Orange Silver

The Celestron Luminos 10 mm eyepiece is a high-performance optical accessory designed to elevate your astronomical observations. Featuring a wide 82-degree apparent field of view, this eyepiece provides an immersive stargazing experience, allowing you to take in more of the night sky at once. Its sophisticated optical design, consisting of multiple fully multi-coated elements, ensures that the images you see are crisp, sharp, and rich in contrast. Housed in a durable, polished, and anodized aluminum body, this eyepiece is built to withstand the rigors of frequent use while maintaining a sleek, professional appearance.

Advantages

One of the primary benefits of the Luminos 10 mm eyepiece is its parfocal design, which allows you to switch between different eyepieces in the series with minimal or no refocusing required, saving you valuable time during observation sessions. The inclusion of a rubber grip around the center of the body provides a secure hold, even in cold conditions, and doubles as a mechanism for adjusting the retractable eyecup. This ergonomic feature ensures comfortable viewing for both eyeglass wearers and those observing without glasses. Furthermore, the barrel is threaded to accept standard astronomical filters, offering versatility for planetary and deep-sky imaging or visual observation.

Suitable for

• Amateur and professional astronomical observation
• Use with short, fast refractor telescopes
• Use with Celestron EdgeHD telescopes
• Planetary and deep-sky object viewing

This eyepiece may not be suitable for telescopes with very small focusers that cannot accommodate the physical size or weight of the Luminos series. Additionally, users with specific vision requirements might find the 82-degree field of view overwhelming if they are accustomed to narrower, traditional designs.

Key specifications

• Focal length: 10 mm
• Apparent field of view: 82 degrees
• Optical construction: Multi-coated elements
• Body material: Polished and anodized aluminum
• Eyecup: Retractable with adjustable height
• Filter compatibility: Threaded for standard filters
• Design: Parfocal

To use the Celestron Luminos 10 mm eyepiece, simply insert the barrel into your telescope's focuser and secure it with the locking screw. Once seated, you can adjust the height of the retractable eyecup by twisting the rubber grip until you find the most comfortable position for your eye. If you wish to enhance contrast or reduce glare when viewing the Moon or planets, screw your preferred 1.25-inch filter into the threaded end of the barrel before insertion.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your telescope focuser is compatible with the eyepiece barrel size
• Verify that the weight of the eyepiece is balanced for your specific telescope mount
• Consider if the 82-degree field of view meets your specific observational needs

Usage recommendations

For the best results, keep the optical surfaces clean using a dedicated lens cleaning kit and store the eyepiece in a dry, dust-free environment when not in use to maintain the integrity of the multi-coatings.
