Eyepieces - Like telescopes, eyepieces come in a variety of designs. And, with the advent of different eyepieces, Celestron also has a variety of designs each with its own advantages and disadvantages. For the 1-1 /4" barrel diameter there are four different eyepiece designs available.

•SMA - The SMA design is an improved version of the Kellner eyepiece. SMA’s are very good, economical, general purpose eyepieces. Available in focal lengths of 6mm, 10mm, 12mm, and 25mm.

•Plossl - Plossl eyepieces have a 4-element lens designed for low-to-high power observing. The Plossls offer razor sharp views across the entire field, even at the edges! In the 1-1 /4" barrel diameter, they are available in the following focal lengths: 6.3mm, 7.5mm, 10mm, 12.5mm, 17mm, 20mm, 26mm, 32mm, and 40mm.

•Ultima - Ultima is not really a design, but a trade name for our 5-element, wide field eyepieces. In the 1-1/4" barrel diameter, they are available in the following focal lengths: 5mm, 7.5mm, 12.5mm, 18mm, 24mm, 30mm, 35mm, and 42mm. These eyepieces are all parfocal. The 35mm Ultima gives the widest possible field of view with a 1-1 /4" diagonal and is ideal for use with the Reducer/Corrector.

•Lanthanum Eyepieces (LV Series) - Lanthanum is a unique rare earth glass used in one of the field lenses of this new eyepiece. The Lanthanum glass reduces aberrations to a minimum. All are fully multicoated and have an astounding 20mm of eye relief— perfect for eyeglass wearers! In the 1-1/4" barrel diameter, they are available in the following focal lengths: 2.5mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 9mm, 10mm, 12mm, 15mm, 20mm and 25mm. Also available is an LV Zoom Eyepiece with the focal length range of 8 to 24 mm.

In addition to the previously mentioned, there is also a deluxe compact zoom ocular (#93306) that has a variable focal length of 6.5 to 18mm.

Finderscopes - Finderscopes are used to help you locate objects in the main telescope. The larger the finderscope, the more you will see, making it easier to locate objects. One option for finders is the illuminated Polaris 7x50 Finder (#93785-8P).It comes with the bracket, finderscope, and illuminator. There is also a Quick Release Finder bracket (#51149-A)which allows you to easily remove and replace the finderscope without losing alignment. The Quick Release Bracket is only available for the 9x50 and 7x50 Finderscopes.

Another tool for finding objects in the sky is the Star Pointer (#51630). The Star Pointer is different from a finderscope in that you can use both eyes when pointing the telescope at an object. A partially reflective surface projects the image of an LED illuminated pinpoint into the line of sight. Just align the illuminated pinpoint with the object you are interested in and the object will be
