Matching Telescope Eyepiece Lens For Maximum Viewing
Most quality telescopes require the use of an eyepiece as part of the magnification power of the telescope. If you have a telescope with a single eyepiece, you will want to investigate using one or two different ones for different purposes. The eyepiece telescope has this advantage of those that do not have a changeable eyepiece.
Not everyone changes an telescope eyepiece to increase the magnification, especially if wanting to view areas that are closer or they want a wider field of view. One reason to reduce the magnification may be to create a finder lens for your telescope to be able to find an object. With a strong eyepiece telescope, finding the moon through the normal magnification could be like trying to find it while looking through a straw.
Effective Fields Of View Also Changes
The true field of view, that is what you can see as an undistorted image can also be adjusted by changing the eyepiece on an eyepiece telescope. The field stop on an telescope eyepiece is the rotating ring that limits the field size. To find the true field of view, divide the field stop diameter by the telescope's focal length and then multiply by 57.3.
In order to obtain lower power viewing of large objects your eyepiece should deliver the widest possible field of view. A one and a quarter inch eyepiece would have a field stop of 27mm maximum. The maximum field stop on a two-inch eyepiece is about 46 mm.
A general rule of thumb with an telescope eyepiece is that choosing an eyepiece with shorter focal lengths and larger apparent field of view, bringing brighter, clearer images of objects including fainter stars.
Two things to consider when looking at news eyepieces could be a Barlow lens, which simply is a magnifier, which adds magnification power to the eyepiece telescope, and what is called eye relief.
Eye relief is the space between the lens and your eye and should have enough room for you to be able to wear your glasses, if needed, as well as to keep your eyelashes from brushing against the lens.

Rating: 0 Posted By: rts Views: 3 Replies: 0 I was looking for some basic moon filter, 2x Barow and couple of eye pieces (32mm etc.) and found that they are selling the entire kit with almost all eyepiece and filter combos for 100 bucks! A great value for any telescope owner. I’m sure, if I buy these things separately, I’ll have to shell out 300+ bucks (not that I will actually do that). You can use it with smaller telescopes like the Celestron Firstscope on Fatwallet few days back .. all the way to much bigger professional ones. Zhumell is a pretty solid company and has gotten a good reputation in the astronomy forms …Here are the details:The Zhumell 1.25 Inch Eyepiece-and-Filter Kit includes:- 4mm high-grade eyepiece- 6mm high-grade eyepiece- 12.5mm high-grade eyepiece- 32mm high-grade eyepiece- 2x Achromatic Barow Lens- #12 Yellow filter- #21 Orange filter- #23A Light Red filter- #56 Green filter- #82A Light Blue filter- Polarizing filters- Chrystalview Moon filter-…

The Lagrangian points (pronounced /lÃÃ^É¡rÃ`ËndÃ’iÃn/; also Lagrange points, L-points, or libration points), are the five positions in an orbital configuration where a small object affected only by gravity can theoretically be stationary relative to two larger objects (such as a satellite with respect to the Earth and Moon). The Lagrange points mark positions where the combined gravitational pull of the two large masses provides precisely the centripetal force required to rotate with them. They are analogous to geostationary orbits in that they allow an object to be in a “fixed” position in space rather than an orbit in which its relative position changes continuously.
Don’t let him fool you. He is a TOTAL denier. He’s annoyed at the Swan report because it points out that the preponderance of the evidence is not pointing his way.
this is not really true
2" eyepieces are a manufacturing invention, because it is easier to construct such eyepieces to obtain wide fields with low magnifications, that's all
it is just the same like 1" fit was changed in the 90's into 1.25" fit
Thanks for the great video
i just ordered this online like 5 minutes ago haha
Take care honey.. RT in a telescope lens,and all you want is friend.. i'll see you soon.. =)
Because the earth is between the moon and sun. So, the earth blocks out the sun's rays from hitting the moon.
Thanks for the info. The reason I ask is that I take my scope out for public viewing sometimes and my Ep’s get covered in eyelash grease. Distilled water does not seem to take this grease off. My Pentax SMC XW has an adjustable cap that will prevent someone with even the longest eyelashes from touching the lens, but it is too expensive to take to public outings. I did once, someone was talking in front of it and got spit on it. I am very picky about cleaning my optics.

go to and click on the customer support page, and then faqs, and the first one is on choosing one. they have some info on the various types. I have one, but it was rather more than what you want to spend. I did a search and Target has one for $150, and I've seen them at Walmart for $300. I suggest you do a little research first before you buy one. Also you might try to find one used on ebay. ( I tried to give you the whole link, but it wouldn't work.)
Their environment is the clue. Oils are liquid at room temperature i.e. they have a lower melting point so they don't become solid in the animal. If they did the animals' tissues would rupture.
Fats aren't solid at body temperature.
Don’t you know that it’s the best time to get the loans, which would make your dreams come true.
Don’t have a lot of money to buy a building? Worry no more, just because it is real to get the credit loans to solve such kind of problems. Thence get a bank loan to buy everything you want.
