I recently purchased the Celestron Xcel LX Series 25mm lens for my Celestron 8 SE telescope, and I couldn't be more pleased with the quality and performance I received, especially considering the reasonable price point.
The difference in quality between the Xcel LX Series lens and the ones that came with my telescope is immediately noticeable. The Xcel LX lens provides a significant upgrade in terms of clarity, sharpness, and overall viewing experience. The images are crisp, and the details of celestial objects are much more defined compared to the stock lenses.
The construction of the Xcel LX lens is impressive. The build feels sturdy, and the materials used are of high quality. The eyepiece is comfortable to use, and the adjustable eye relief is a great feature, allowing for a personalized and comfortable viewing experience, especially during extended observation sessions.
One of the standout features of the Xcel LX Series is the wide field of view it offers. It enhances the immersive feeling of observing celestial objects, making it easier to locate and appreciate a broader area of the night sky. This is particularly beneficial for celestial navigation and observing larger astronomical phenomena.
The 25mm focal length is versatile, providing a good balance between magnification and field of view. It's suitable for observing a variety of celestial objects, from the moon and planets to deep-sky objects like nebulae and galaxies.
In summary, the Celestron Xcel LX Series 25mm lens is an excellent investment for anyone looking to enhance the performance of their Celestron 8 SE telescope. The improved optics, solid construction, and reasonable price make it a standout choice for amateur astronomers seeking a quality eyepiece. I highly recommend the Celestron Xcel LX Series to fellow enthusiasts looking to take their stargazing experience to the next level.

Celestron X-Cel LX Series Eyepiece - 1.25-Inch 5mm
Description:
Celestron X-Cel LX series eyepieces offer a 60º apparent field of view, perfect for the Moon, the planets, and a plethora of deep-sky objects. The premium six-element optical set is finished with multiple layers of high-transmission coatings for clear, sharp images. The edges of the optics are blackened for increased contrast. All seven X-Cel LX eyepieces sport 16mm of comfortable eye relief, and are parfocal, which means you can switch out eyepieces within the series during observing sessions and little or no additional focusing will be required. The X-Cel LX eyepiece body is made of black-anodized aluminum. The pop-up eyecups make it easy to adjust the height for different users. Turn them in one direction to extend the length, and the other direction to provide a flat surface, preferable to most eyeglass wearers. A threaded rubber grip around the center of the eyepiece barrel offers secure handling, even in moist conditions or with heavy gloves on.
Features:
- X-Cel LX eyepieces, optimized for planetary viewing, offer a 60° field of view through a six-element fully multi-coated lens system
- Pop-up rubber eyeguards provide comfort and increase contrast. Raise and lower with a simple twist.
- A treaded rubber grip offers a no-slip grip, even with gloves on
- 1.25” barrels are threaded to accept filters

Finally! An eyepiece for glasses wearers.
First off, let me start this review by saying, for an eyepiece made in China, this thing feels very well built. It's solid in your hand, actually weighs a good bit for an eyepiece. The view is incredibly clear, and the field of view is very wide. This is great for viewing large swaths of the sky at a time, not so good for small targets like planets. This is more of a nebula/star cluster eyepiece. It is a plossl design, so there are two doublet lenses inside. It added no extra chromatic abberation, so it's perfect for reflector and Cassegrain telescopes that don't produce CA on their own. On my 102mm refractor, the views were great, but because that scope is an achromat, there was chromatic abberation, but not from the eyepiece. For under $50, I can't see why you wouldn't buy one of these if you're on a budget. Eye relief is about an inch, so you don't have to hold your eye on the glass for once.

Looking at the stars at night, nothing beats a good time with a telescope. The Moon, in particular, is my favorite astronomic object to look at...
Recently, I got a Newtonian Reflective Telescope from a buddy of mine but all of the eyepieces he had were the kind that you need to have your eye almost touching the eyepiece. So I wanted a brighter and easier-t-use eye piece. This is it!
It's definitely beginner friendly and the 40mm size made for wonderfully bright images. Also makes it much easier (it's still tricky) to take photos of the Moon with a phone.
Not for gazing at the rings of Saturn, but perfect for staring at the Moon.
