Kevin ★★★★★

I’ve been using this for autoguiding and the crosshairs stay crisp even in dim light, which makes centering stars much faster. The 5mm focal length gives a nice high-power view, and the illuminated reticle doesn’t wash out faint stars. Definitely worth the upgrade from my old non-illuminated eyepiec

Andrew V. ★★★★★

The illuminated reticle is sharp and easy to focus, making guiding sessions much smoother. It snugs perfectly into the standard 1.25-inch focuser without any play.

Julian ★★★★★

Finally got this guiding eyepiece dialed in last night — the illumination is evenly lit across the whole reticle, no hot spots at all. The crosshairs stay sharp even at high power, which made centering my guide star a breeze.
