Agena 1.25" Wireless Illuminated Reticle Eyepiece with Focusable Crosshair - 12.5mm
Good Value for Very Basic Use
OK. First, it must be said that the one I received is not an Agena logoed product. Mine is labeled Starguider(R). Agena's own is probably better built, and costs about 3 times as much. I'm not giving it 5 stars, or even 4 because of the lo...

Meade 1.25" Wireless Illuminated Reticle Astrometric Eyepiece - MA 12mm # 07069
High Quality For Astrometrics
Solid piece of kit for the advanced user. Excellent instructions for a variety of apps. Note that the dual crosshairs are off-center for guiding use; not for polar alignment. Illumination is very adjustable. A fine astrometric instrument.

Meade 1.25" Wireless Illuminated Reticle Astrometric Eyepiece - MA 12mm # 07069
Essential reticle for alignment
The reticle etching is beautiful, and useful for making astrometric measurements. It gets more use as a nice, illuminated source of cross hairs when I am performing alignment. It's difficult to get a cap to stay on the eyecup, but that's n...

Agena 1.25" Cheshire Collimating Eyepiece for Refractors
Short Cheshire collimating eyepiece
I bought this item to work with a short range magnifier as a refractor collimation tool. It works well for this application.

Great for the price
I relied on multiple reviews from various sources before making this purchase. I bought it strictly to help align my SkyQuest Intelliscope and it helps do that very well. It's easy to use, and I do like the double illuminated cross hairs. One of...

This Cheshire Collimating Eyepiece was very simple to use ... a very bright image even with a small LED flashlight. I thought that the reflections might be difficult to interpret, but they were quite sharp, and I was able to accurately align my 7&quo...

Agena 1.25" Wireless Illuminated Reticle Eyepiece with Focusable Dual Crosshair - 20mm
Exactly What I Hoped For!
I was very pleased with the robust, solid feel of this eyepiece and the reticle mechanism. No cheap plastic parts...it feels and performs as a well engineered and constructed product.

Agena 1.25" Wireless Illuminated Reticle Eyepiece with Focusable Dual Crosshair - 20mm
Superb alignment eyepiece!
With dual, focusable and illuminated reticles, you would be hard-pressed not to get a perfect alignment on any star of your choosing.
I de-focus and put the "blob" in the box...perfect center alignment !

Agena 1.25" Wireless Illuminated Reticle Eyepiece with Focusable Crosshair - 12.5mm
Woks well!
I use the reticle for aligning my 15” Dobson. With the double line cross hair and illumination (which is easy to regulate at low intensity), it performs as advertised.

Fits perfectly on my Stellarvue EP. Illuminates very nicely at the lowest setting. Makes my 3 star alignments much easier and more accurate.

Agena 1.25" Wireless Illuminated Reticle Eyepiece with Focusable Single Crosshair - 24mm
1.25", 24mm Illuminated Reticle Focasable Eyepiece
Once I remembered it had a focus it looks great. When out of focus the red reticle can be quite wide. I like the wide field of view in the 24mm. Very clear view.
