Product Description

The Alstar 12.5mm Plossl Telescope Eyepiece is ideally suited for guiding astrophotos when used in off-axis guiders or guide scopes.

The extremely fine, double crosshairs make tracking the guide star much straightforward for you. Instead of having to cover the star, as with single crosshairs, you can keep it precisely positioned in the centre of the eyepiece.

Any deviation from this position is noticed immediately, and in time to be able to react. The eyepiece has a red LED light source for illuminating the crosshairs.

There is also a separate dioptre adjuster for you to be able to bring both the star and the crosshairs into focus simultaneously
