Takahashi 12.5mm LE eyepiece (1.25in) for sale!
Excellent condition with original Tak box for just $150 postage included to anywhere in Australia
This is a quality eyepiece that has given me hours of viewing pleasure.
It has to go to fund my new foray into DSLR imaging.
Payment by Paypal or direct Bank Transfer only. Sorry no pickups.
Some blurb/testimonials on these from the AEC web-site
There are several types of eyepieces in the market. Some look very good; some have long eye-relief; some are sharp; some are cheap; some are expensive! However, when it comes to the highest contrast, maximum sharpness, high light transmission, good eye-relief and the best colour rendition, the Takahashi "LE" and "HI-LE" eyepieces have no rivals!
Below are a few comments from an expert amateur astronomer, who wrote a three-page test report on the Takahashi "LE" oculars.
Under test the LE Series oculars provided:
* Increased light transmission through the eyepiece. In other words all the LE oculars provide a brighter image;
* Increase in contrast in every case;
* Sharper images in every case;
* Increase resolution in every case.
The LE series improved every object throughout all the focal length ranges, and in comparison to both standard Plossl field of view and wide-field oculars. This is in brightness, contrast, image resolution and detail of bright and faint objects!
I warmly recommend the LE series to all keen amateur and professional astronomy viewers, as they are simply superior!

I cannot forget when, about two years ago, I had trouble splitting the double star Antares with my Takahashi "FS-102" FL refractor, using five different well-known 7.5mm oculars. I started thinking that the said refractor wasn't as good as I thought. Eventually, it dawned upon me that may be I wasn't using the best oculars for the job. However, all my worries disappeared as soon as looked through an LE 7.5mm ED ocular, which fortunately I had still in stock. Antares' green companion, 7th-magnitude star, was there in all its glory!
