Celestron Ultima LX EP

[Pat Dunne]

I built up a set of Celestron Ultima LX EP's over the last twelve months and I am well please with 'em.

This started out last year when my local shop Astromomy Ireland in Dublin let me do a comparison test with an Ultima and Excel following a few evening of observations I plumbed for the Ultima.

And how does the beer can fare in the focuser? Sharp views?!

Ultimas don't often get a mention so it's nice to see a set of them

The views can be very refreshing

They're big'uns!

[M4lcs67]

Yeah they are big and chunky. Like the Baader Hyperions. I was very suprised when my first one arrived. Far, far bigger than the stock ep's that came with my scope. Got a 10mm Hyperion on order, so looking forward to giving that first light.

I had considered the Ultimas as well, but eventually went for the Baaders.

What's the weight of the 32mm? It looks a bit smaller than the others.
