Celestron 93431 10 mm Luminos Eyepiece, Silver/Black

When I first bought my telescope the shop and other astronomers said, get good eyepieces as when you upgrade kit your eyepieces tend to stay with you. Added to the fact that when you look through cheap optics you will be doing the glorious heaven a injustice.I have the 7mm, 10mm, 19mm and 31mm Luminos's that I use on my Celestron Edge 8 HD and now I have the 15mm. I can honestly say that I'm not disappointed with any of them.The build quality is excellent and being of aluminium/alloy construction so they are a bit more hefty than many other eyepieces, especially Plossls and cheap eyepieces.I get no issues with clarity almost all the way across the FOV with just slight abberations at the edges.Looking through these EP's is like looking into a bucket rather than the spyhole feeling with Plossls. The 80+ degree FOV is truly amazing and you have to look around inside the eyepiece to see everything.There is a retractable eyecup if you wear spectacles and the whole range of Luminos EP's are Parfocal, which means when swapping between EP's you virtually haven't got to refocus.A word of warning the 31mm is mahoosive. It's the size of a cola can and weighs in at over 1Kg!!

Good delivery, good service. Great product

Celestron luminos 10mm eyepiece.Build quality is excellent.Good weight to this and has a rubber hand grip.It has a nice feature where an eyecup is hidden and a twist of the barrel and out it comes great idea.I was a little disappointed that it did not come with a storage case at the price it is.Nice lens cap for protection.Would recommend this to the serious astronomer.

I had head that an expensive eye piece would make all the difference to my viewing - but did not really believe it until I bought this EP - clarity is so much better than the standard EP's - can clearly see the bands and some of the turbulence. Bode's nebula clearly visible. This was using an 8" SCT scope. I am looking forward to the winter months when I will really be able to test it's quality. Might be asking santa for the 32mm EP...

Purchased this EP from Amazon , it arrived and had clearly been used before which wasn't a good start . Amazon accepted this and gave a discount that I accepted . Now ,onto the EP . It's big , no , it's huge and it weighs 1.3 kgs !!! Please make sure your scope can cope with this weight as I'm sure balance will be a problem for some . Build quality is excellent with a big rubber ring around the centre which doubles as the twist up mechanism for the eyecup . I had to extend the eyecup to its fullest to have the best views . Now onto the view . I found them to be excellent, on the whole but at the edges the field of view seemed to brighten somewhat which was a bit off-putting . Also the view didn't seem entirely flat . Having said that , the viewing area was breathtaking and the 82 degrees of viewing angle is fantastic. I used this EP in my Nexstar 8se.

I love this eye piece for seeing the moon crater, it's such a wide view for the 1.25 fitting. You get a lot closer with this 10mm but have a view much similar in width as if you where using a 15mm for example. I love that it does lose it's sharpness and the rubber eyepiece adjustment is great because I use glasses but sometime i prefer not to. Make sure you use a moon filter because you will need it, try not to cheap out because you will use sharpness, i found out the hard way. I can't what till the planets come around again. Good luck in your viewing, clear skies x

Excellent and high quality eyepiece. I bought the Celestron HD Edge 11 inch and the eyepiece you're provided with is rather generic and not good for planetary details (although great for viewing the moon.) This 10mm is much better

Just meh, I thought it would be a great piece to have. But it’s really average considering it’s nearly a 300 euro piece.
