Celestron Microguide 12.5mm
This is a very useful eyepiece for the double star observer. My only complaint is that the reticle seems to be awfully "busy", or too many scales to fit the space available.

The important scales are the protractor around the edge ,and the linear scale for measurement of separation between objects. With these two scales, it is possible to make precise measurements of double (or multiple) stars using the method of Teague.

This is a Japanese manufactured eyepiece, and the quality is very eveident. The well applied coatings eliminate any distracting flare or internal ghosting. Stellar images are very crisp, as is typical of an Orthoscopic e.p.

I recommend this eyepiece highly for double star observations.
