      Pretty good, it's a keeper for me

      Posted by Richard Zore on 24th Aug 2023

      I picked this up to replace the failed illuminator I received with the Chinese made Orion 12.5mm cross hair EP years ago. I was hoping the threads would be an exact match, but I can only screw the light in about 2 threads. But that turned out to be enough. It works well and I'm very happy with it. Because of the slight thread mismatch I gave it four stars, but I would buy it again.

      Works!

      Works exactly as advertised to make crosshairs visible in the finder even if the sky is very dark.

      D1002 Illuminator

      Posted by Jim Bahn on 24th Jul 2023

      Works great. Not a perfect fit with my celestron EP but it fits well enough and works better than the other manufacturer's illuminator

      Great Illuminator

      Posted by John Lohavichan on 25th Oct 2022

      I modified this illuminator to work on my old celestron sct finder. It worked great just by popping out the old bulb in the housing and attaching this new illuminator to the old housing. This new unit is very solidly made.

      SV Eyepiece Illuminator model EI002

      Posted by Mark Komsa on 29th Aug 2022

      This item is all machined aluminum and well made. It looks nice. My only issue is that it appears that the battery is not user replaceable. No instructions came with this item. I could not unscrew the knurled part as it was extremely tight. Mark: Thank you for your input. I have placed instructions on the web page showing how and where to open the illuminator to replace the batteries. Thanks again for your comments. Vic Maris

      Illuminator

      Posted by Michael L McDermott on 6th Jan 2022

      I had a Meade 9mm double cross bull-eyed eyepiece that the illuminator quit working. I purchased this one and it fit perfectly into my existing eyepiece! It even came with the batteries, you can't go wrong with purchasing this.
