I 1.25 y Celestron 40 1784 has a red filter

J 1.25 y Meade 25 1932 illuminated reticle
Note: The focus positions are only valid if the eyepiece is fully inserted into the holder (for the 1.25" eyepieces, this means fully inserted into the adapter, which is full inserted into the eyepiece holder).

As mentioned above, the eyepiece must be fully inserted into the holder for the focus values to be accurate. To do this, loosen the thumbscrew, and slide the filter all the way in. Then retighten the thumbscrew (hand tight, but tight enough that the filter doesn't fall out). Cake.
