If my instuctor is asking that we get a 600x magnification, can I still purchase this one? Or are the specifics neccessary?

It does not come with a 60x objective lense so you cannot achieve 600x magnification. It can do 1000x. You could also buy a 60x objective separately.

Oh no darling. This one takes a magnifier with the instructions. It arrives pre-threaded, and I suggest you take well lit photos of this with the panel open to see how its threaded. This way you can refer to them rather than the instructions, as one of the illustrations is slightly inaccurate. There is a learning curve to this, but if you are patient and follow the instructions along with your photos, you should be fine. The mistakes I've made are from the threads getting hung up at the spools. Attention to detail is a must with operating one of these, and double check the steps. This must be threaded in a specific order, or it won't work. It does work well, but takes some acclimation. Don't get discouraged. If I had the money, I would have bought a Bernina (made by Juki), or something that is easier to thread. I don't use it enough to warrant a thousand, or two, dollar investment. I got this one at a black friday deal.

I personally do not own a magnifier for my M-21, but I do know that Meprolight makes a 3x magnifier and I have come across discussions with pictures demonstrating other brands of magnifiers working with the M-21.

Dear Bruce, At the moment we do not have a sensor mirror with a higher magnification than 5X. We do however appreciate your feedback and I will pass this along to the team. We hope that our products can continue to serve you well for the years ahead. Best, simplehuman

Not from the manufacturer (Crosman/CenterPoint). Another brand magnifier MIGHT work but you would actually have to buy/borrow and mount it to see if it lined up with this one.

15x magnification min and 40x magnification max. My low-budget binoculars are 10x magnification and the image is much crisper and seemed to be as magnified as the scope. I would not suggest this scope...

No. This goes in place of your eyepiece. This device is the equivalent of a 7mm eyepiece, which will already result in high magnification images. If you want to go further in, as many people do, then something like a 2.5X barlow lens should be employed. That's the next thing I'm going to acquire. I'm thinking that Jupiter with a 2.5X barlow will nearly fill the 640x480 frame size on my Celestron 8", with enough room to keep the image tracked. The frame stacking software, Registax is where the magic occurs. The videos you take of planets from this thing will not wow you, but after stacking they should.

Ryan, thank you for contacting Orion Telescopes and Binoculars. In order to get to 180x magnification, you would need a 6.9mm eyepiece. I hope this has been helpful.

Hello :) The large mirror surface has no magnification at all. The small mirror that can be swung (for lack of a better word. I'm super tired) forward has I believe 10x magnification. I'll double check. If I'm wrong I will let you know right away as I'm going to check now.

Yes, however, I wouldn't recommend purchasing this item. The magnifying effect of the eyepiece is so modest, almost negligible.

Depends on what MM eyepiece you are going to purchase. Anything below a 9MM would most likely not give you a focused view. The 90 GT is a 910 focal length telescope and pushing the magnification past 100X will definitely (Unless you have perfect seeing, darkness, and transparency.) be difficult to focus and define. If you go with a 9MM , 12MM or a 18MM Xcel eyepiece you will have no problems using these with the 90 GT.

Yes, enough magnification to perfrom an autoscope examI am a physician so I can use, plus recommend to patientsI wish though it would accept easier the tips from Welch Allyn

One retailer cautions this with respect to the SightMark magnifiers: "Not suggested for use with SM13005, SM13006, SM13041, or SM14000 due to minor ghosting." We have not noticed this, and no other sources have mentioned it. The more expensive upgrades (14002 NS and 14003 with laser sight) were being suggested and sold by this retailer.

Hello Joy, The magnification of this product is 2X. Complete information about it can be found at the following URL: http://www.opticsplanet.com/carson-magnifold-lighted-magnifier-mj50.html If you need more magnification, try the more compact 5X magnification "Carson 5x MiniBrite LED Lighted Slide-Out Aspheric Magnifier with Protective Sleeve (PO-55)" Also sold by Amazon. I own both of them and use them both of them everyday, and they are each extremely useful! I hope this is helpful to you! Matt K

The useful magnification is about 140x for astronomical purposes. Beyond this you're going to get fuzzy images. Don't be fooled by extravagant claims.
