Product Description
If you are looking for an eyepiece that excels for planetary viewing, then Celestron's X-Cel offers the unique features you are looking for. A 6-element fully multi-coated optical design, the X-Cel utilizes extra low dispersion (ED) glass on its most highly curved surfaces, to minimize chromatic aberration that can hinder sharp planetary views. With a wide 55 apparent field of view, and a large 25mm clear aperture the X-Cel is one of the most comfortable eyepieces to use. Every X-Cel eyepiece is parfocal with each other, meaning little or no focusing is needed when changing from low to high power. The X-Cel comes with soft rubber eyecups and a durable plastic case. In addition, if you are an eyeglass wearer, you will enjoy the 20mm eye relief available on each of the X-Cel focal lengths. Threaded barrels accept 1-1/4" Celestron thread-in filters.

 Great eye relief for a 5mm lens July 7, 2008
I am rating this lens five stars because it has great eye relief for a short lens along with a quality build and good images. I think one would be hard pressed to find a better lens any where near the price range of this one. Keep it up Celestron!
 Does not seems to be what I've expected!!! March 15, 2007

Nice looking, its heavy, but at a glance coatings look like not well distributed on lens surface. Images of venus and saturn very blur and hazy.
I tried this eyepiece in a well collimated reflector telescope (orion spaceprobe 130) in which other eyepieces work very well.
Not Good.
