| This metal body adjustable brightness red LED (light emitting diode) illuminator was used in the Celestron 10mm Plössl crosshair reticle guiding eyepiece (and most other manufacturers’ illuminated reticles that use an illuminator with an 8mm nosepiece). It is available here as a replacement for a broken, lost, or stolen illuminator from such an eyepiece.
The illuminator has a combined on/off switch and variable brightness control at one end. The other end has a male threaded nosepiece to fit illuminated reticles with a standard 8mm female thread illuminator port. Two LR-44 type camera batteries (supplied) will power the illuminator for many hours of use.
Please note: While the manufacturer normally supplies batteries at no cost with this product as a convenience, the battery charge or useful life is not guaranteed. The batteries may arrive with their charge depleted or very low. In such a case, you will have to purchase replacement batteries locally, as battery life is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty. |
