I saw one somewhere online. the little cutout in the batter compartment is for the power cord...You can get this battery holder that uses 2 batteries: http://cgi.ebay.com/Ownuser-Battery-Hand-Grip-Sony-Alpha-A55-A33-/290549144568?pt=Digital_Camera_Accessories&hash;=item43a6141bf8

Does anyone know where to find a 12 volt power supply for the Sony A55 DSLR to facilitate the use of the camera with a telescope in remote locations? I have found most everything else on Amazon but may be someone has found one some where else.

Search Amazon for T-Ring or T-mount adapter. Have a search on Google too. You have to buy one for specifically for the Minolta/Sony mount. I think Celestron do them themselves too.

As Daniel said, it will be compatible with any 1.25" eyepiece. Looking up NexStar 4SE, I see it comes with a 25mm focal length Plossl eyepiece. The X-Cel eyepiece you've asked about is also a 25mm, so you probably don't want to duplicate the focal lengths (unless you're looking for a little wider field of view). I think you'll want to get a shorter focal length - 18mm, 12mm, 9mm, etc - to get more magnification. Divide the focal length of the telescope by the FL of the eyepiece to get the magnification. In this case 1325mm / 25mm was giving you 53X. I have several of these eyepieces and like them. As Daniel said, it will be compatible with any 1.25" eyepiece.

I am sorry, but I simply don't know. I reccomend you contact Celestron and get their reccos. Brgds, Geo

Depends what you need the adapter to do. I have a Celestron Nextstar 5SE telescope and got the 93633-A to attach where the eyepiece of the telescope attaches to then attach the T-ring for my Nikon camera, which you have to purchase as well, to attach my camera to the 93633-A adapter.

I use the 3 and higher for imaging Planets, thet 2X can be used for doubling the power at the eyepiece. The 127 eq is a great scope you should have lots of fun. I had a C5 at one time loved it.

Hello Patty, Honestly I dont know. It might have to do with the total focal lenght, I ran into a problem with attaching a reducer then the diagonal then the bifocal then the eyepiece, and i could not focus properly. You best bet is to call Celestron on Monday, sorry I could not help more, Jim

It should fir on any newer Celestron telescope, however this pointer is Very Cheap (as told to me by Celestron customer service) and it will only last a short time and has other issues. You might want to consider upgrading to the Orion 7228 EZ Finder II Telescope Reflex Sight which is pretty good or a Telrad Finder which is the best and mounts on any scope with double stick tape. It's a little big, but do a computer search for telrads and you will see that almost everyone recommends them.

Yes. It will work. I've done it also with a cheap Celestron telescope. You may need a "C" adapter to fit your specific camera. Give it a try and see what you get!

Did you get satisfactory answer? I have the same issue of not being able to focus.[edit] It looks like Cavalier Guy has the correct answer, but I did not understand it when I first read it; and the Celestron site also says this: " the 93640 inserts in to 1.25 focusers The built-in barlow lens can be removed and some telescopes will not focus properly without barlow.From what I've learned, this is key.. the addition of the barlow lens allows the image to be focused on the camera sensor.The 93625 (which is what i've been trying to use) does not include the barlow lens element.

The CPC 1100 is a "go to" telescope. You can even run it off your computer and use a free program called Stellarium to navigate the night sky. If you are considering purchasing this telescope, make sure you pick up a JMI custom case for it. You should also get a power tank for it, since you will need one. You could also consider the AC adapter for it, if you are near an outlet with it. Also consider getting the Celestron StarSense. That device makes aligning your scope so much easier! You will also want to get 2" eye pieces for it. 1.25" is to small on this huge scope. Celestron has a nice 2" eyepiece kit you can get, that comes in a nice case. :) The CPC 1100 is a "go to" telescope.

I know that I got Celestron 1.25" plössi accessories kit works great with my Meade, so I'm no expert, but I think as long as the diameter is 1.25" then your good. Hope this helps you. I will say this, they sent me the wrong tube when I ordered and received a 60mm instead of the 70mm and I swore I'd never order a meade again because their customer service (meade directly) weren't accommodating and I never bothered exchanging it because of the hassle involved.

Depends on your scope mount type, but usually just plug it in to AUX port on the mount. I can't find your scope model on the Celestron website, but there is one that looks like yours and it does not have the AUX port on the mount. My remote has no AUX port and yours looks the same as mine, the port on the bottom of the remote is for connecting it to a computer, so that won't work for you with the GPS module.But, if you do have an AUX port that has another attachment plugged in, take it out, plug in the GPS module and then plug the one you took out in the front side if the GPS module.

Hello, how are you? I did some research on your question. So far I found this web site where you can get an adapter you can use to attach your camera to your telescope. If you buy one please let me know if it works or not. My email address is snban4@aol.com thanks and take care Sue Banks

I'm sorry, but that u do not know. Go to the celesta on website. The amazon site shows bugs under the scope, maybe that will give you a better idea. At 150x magnification it's pretty good. My guess is that it will work. Good luck and please post your review for the next guy..

These filters DO fit, as the 127EQ (I have one myself) has 1.25" eyepeices. The kicker though, is that our eye pieces do NOT have any threads (the eyepieces that come with the set). I've been told by Celestron to hold the filter between my eye and the eyepiece. Sigh.Best thing to fix that...get a different and better eyepiece.

That is a pretty vague query. I would consult your options page in your particular manual. But that said, I purchased this model for my Advanced VX since it was on the recommended list and regret it. Its current draw when slewing may exceed its output, possibly damaging my mount. I would highly suggest the 5 amp adapter (product #18780) for any Celestron computerized telescope. The safest rule of thumb is to always have a power supply that exceeds your demand in terms of amp output. It costs more, but to repair a damaged mount due to an inadequate power supply would be far greater.
