About the Antares 10mm Illuminated Reticle Eyepiece

A reticle eyepiece puts a lit crosshair in the field of view, so a star can be held precisely centred. That makes it useful for manual guiding during long-exposure photography, for polar alignment and drift alignment, and for centring objects when aligning a GoTo mount or a finder. This one has a double-crosshair reticle, with two parallel lines in each direction, so the guide star sits in a small box rather than being hidden behind a single line.

This eyepiece is a Japanese-made example from Antares' earlier range and is no longer part of Antares' current line-up.
