who stocks Celestron X cel lx

[Sandraj]

FLO are out of stock of the 7 and 9mm, anyone know who else sells them please.

[nightfisher]

I think Harrison scopes stock them

[Zuben Elgenubi]

365astronomy have the 7mm in stock, but not the 9mm.

Rother Valley Optics also sell them. You need to email them to check whether they are in stock.

Amazon flog xcel, various sizes. ;-) Just to add one thing... the difference between 7 and 9mm is very insignificant to be honest, to buy both would be a bit of overkill. The higher the power levels you go the harder it will be to keep the object in place unless you have a goto, just wanted to save you a few quid. With the dob you would actually get some beautiful wider views with a moderate size, I use a 40mm on some things and seriously to catch that much sky is jaw dropping. Consider the 9mm, and maybe a 12 or 15mm and then a 25mm and one larger, say 32 or 40mm. you will cover the whole scenario then.

Thanks for the tip, maybe I will get a 12mm instead of one of the others.

I can recommend Rother valley Optics, I've used them a couple of times, very good service.

In slight disagreement the 7mm and 9mm sound close but they are something like 23% different and that is the change in magnification that you will see.

If the 7mm gave 100x then the 9mm would give 78x, which to me is a fair change.

Your scope is 1200mm, so a 7mm gives 171x, a 9mm would give 133x, that seems a reasonable change and certainly one that you should notice. Just because they sound close that does not mean the effct is negliable, go work out the change for a 5mm tne a 4mm eyepiece. Less change in focal length then 7 to 9 but a bigger change in magnification terms.

Sherwood photography do them for a very good price also
