[NGC 1502]

It's a 40mm 1.25" fitting Plossl. These Celestron Plossls were sold by David Hinds in the 90s, and had a complete range from very low to high power. I'm fairly sure that they were commonly rebadged with differing brand names.

A 40mm 1.25" fitting plossl will show the same amount of sky as a 32mm, (although at a lower magnification) due to the constraints of the 1.25" barrel.
