There is also a separate dioptre adjuster for you to be able to bring both the star and the crosshairs into focus simultaneously. Bright high-contrast views with a 40-degree apparent field of view and 11 mm eye relief,comfortable eye relief. Reticle eyepiece comes with dual crosshair - really clean view for you to observe your target, filter thread provided. Excellent for accurate polar and go-to alignment, and for centering guide stars for astrophotography. High quality 12.5mm focal length Plossl eyepiece with red LED-illuminated double-line crosshair reticle.

Dirt between lens and reticle glass!

I bought this so we could quickly align our 50mm hydroscope and main telescope. It's raining, so I only had a quick look at the goods. The lens is mounted in a threaded eyepiece in front of a reticle. It will be great for precise focus. I found 4-5 pieces of dirt between the lens and the crosshairs! The eyepiece unscrews completely so it's easy to manipulate, but it's disappointing.

Pros
  • Excellent for precise polar and initial alignment and centering reference stars for astrophotography.
Cons
  • Obsolete
