Product Details

This is the same illuminator that we include with our popular Agena 20mm SWA Reticle Eyepiece. It is also offered separately as a replacement illuminator for many brands of reticle eyepieces on the market.

The adjustable brightness red LED (light emitting diode) illuminator features an all metal body with combination On/Off switch. It is threaded at one end to fit reticle eyepieces with a standard 8mm female threaded port (M8x0.75 thread specification). Requires two LR44 batteries (included). Weight = 1.1oz. Made in China.

This item has been tested to fit and work well with the following reticle eyepieces:

Agena 20mm SWA Wireless IRE (E-AG-SWA20IRE)
Antares 1.25" Illuminated Reticle Kellner Eyepiece - 10mm (# IRK10)
Antares 1.25" Illuminated Reticle Kellner Eyepiece - 27mm (# IRK27)
Astro-Tech 24mm Illuminated Centering Eyepiece (# AT24IL)
Celestron 1.25" Micro Guide Eyepiece - 12.5mm (# 94171)
Meade 1.25" Plossl Wireless IRE - 9mm (# 07068)
Meade 1.25" Wireless IRE - MA 12mm (# 07066)
Meade 1.25" Wireless IR Astrometric Eyepiece - MA 12mm (# 07069)
Meade 1.25" Plossl CCD Framing Eyepiece - 25mm (# 07568)
Orion 20mm Illuminated Centering Telescope Eyepiece (# 08239)

This illuminator may be used with the following items. It catches on only by a thread or two due to thread pitch differences, which is not ideal but will be adequate.

Agena 12.5mm Wireless IRE (E-AG-IRE12.5)
Celestron 50mm Right Angle Finder (# 93781)
Celestron CrossAim Reticle Eyepiece (# 93235)

If your reticle eyepiece is not listed above, then we cannot confirm whether this item will work for you or not.

Agena Cordless Illuminator for Reticle Eyepieces E-AG-CILL

I hunted this illuminator after misplacing mine for the Takahashi 11x70 finder. It fits perfectly and has a very smooth brightness control with an excellent range of brightness. The off click stop is precise and positive. Easy to replace LR44 batteries and very well constructed. Highly recommend this illuminator which was $90 less than the replacement Takahashi original

I own three of them

I am an instrument builder, my current project is a classic spectroscope. It required illumination of the cross hair reticle and a back light for the slit jaws. I looked around but when I found the Agena and the references to the tap drill and tap so I could install them anywhere they were needed I knew I had my illuminators. I also assembled a 25mm illuminated reticle eyepiece and simply purchased another Agena. They all work as advertised and I am quite satisfied with their performance.

Well lit.

A fine illuminator. I have a very nice reticle eyepiece (EP) that I needed an illuminator for, and several other illuminated EPs. I was able to take the other illuminators off and compare things and this one looked like the one that would fit. It does fit an illuminates perfectly well.

If you have one that looks like this, it might just have the right threads and be a good fit.

Agena reticle illuminator

Fits well in Orion 20mm Illuminated Centering Telescope Eyepiece (#08239). Doesn't fit Celestron (RACI) Illuminated Finder and Orion Illuminated Finder Scope witch I own (they are after all not in list of tested reticle eyepieces). Good quality build, feels solid. I'm very satisfied with the purchase.

Agena reticle illuminator

Works great. However, buyers should be aware that its not a perfect fit for ALL reticle units. But the construction is better than the illuminators that come with the stock illuminated reticles from Meade, Celestron & Orion. Happy with the product.
