Baader Micro Guide eyepiece with Log-Pot illuminator

Please note: Our micro-guide eyepiece, which has been in production for 35 years, will probably no longer be produced. Reciprocally with the development of astro-electronics, the demand for this eyepiece has decreased over the decades to very small numbers. Only very few observers nowadays still measure with the eye or show their students how to measure at the eyepiece and even fewer perform manual guiding with such a high quality eyepiece. Therefore, production can only be resumed if there is a significant demand. If you are seriously interested in this eyepiece, we would be grateful if you would sign up at our Micro Guide notification list despite its unavailability. It may take up to one year until we will finally notify you, in case the number of interested parties would justify a new production. Thank you for your patience and interest in this unique eyepiece. The amount of such inquiries will tell us in the end, if we may start production again (at higher price though).

In the meantime we may direct your attention to the  Polaris I – Measuring- and Guiding-Eyepiece 25mm, T-2, illuminated (#2954325 , € 111,- ) shown here. If combined with a 2x or 2.25x barlow it will likewise attain ~ 12.5 x focal length, albeit without the measuring but just a guiding recticle. At any rate, the viewing behaiour is much better then, compared to a Plossl 10 mm design. If the Polaris I – Measuring and Guiding-Eyepiece should have too long a focal length for your application, then you can of course change the focal length by using a suitable Barlow lens, or you can decide to use the Celestron CrossAim Reticle Eyepiece 12,5mm (#820459).
