Will this fit a Meade model RB-60 telescope D=60mm F=700?I need eyepiece and need to know what to get. I would like to not spend a lot. Thank you

Yes. It should work with your RB-60 scope. I just looked at the owners manual on the Meade website and it says it uses 1.25" lenses. Here a link to Meade's website:http://www.meade.com/downloads/manuals/refractor-manuals/Meade-RB60.pdf

It looks like the 1.25 inch Diagonal Prism should fit... From what I have seen it seems to be one of the smallest... You definitely wouldn't want to get a larger one. Hope this helps...

Indeed, the diagonal mentioned will fit your Meade RB60. That said, this is not an eyepiece - this is a diagonal. This diagnal is designed to redirect the light path from the telescope's lenses to your eyepiece so that the viewing position is comfortable for you. However, it is not an eyepiece (generally used to change the telescope's magnification). I hope this helps.

I don't know, but mine is for an 8" Mirror telescope. In the past I have contacted Meade via email. I am sure they can help you find out what size you need.

jmich; Like you, I certainly was not trying to be glib. I just did not encounter the problem you did. I do have one idea, though: The scope comes with two eyepieces. One of the eyepieces is useful, but the other one I found useless. The target could not be centered or even seen. Hope this helps.J

Thank you for your response Darrell, this discussion board seems pretty much dead so I thought I would never get answered, but I did, and a great answer at that.I've been thinking about buying the Orion XT4.5 now, I'm aware the image will not be as great as the 8 inch but I'll still be able to see Saturn right? Would this be better than a refractor telescope? Sorry for all the questions! No more questions after this, I promise.

Mine works well with the Orion 15x70, so yours should be fine in terms of size. However I am not familiar with where the screw fits on the Celestron. Advise you to compare the two binoculars. You can always return it if it doesn't work.

It will not. Only eyepieces that are just a little over 1.25 inch in diameter at their widest point d ofit, usually those are plossl types. Also the maximum overall height is a little over 2 inches so usually plossl shorter than 20 mm focal length fit. Good news is that plossl are cheap even the really high quality higher grade are in the vicinity of $40 - $60 an the regular ones are in the $20s. Even regular plossl paired with a good camera will give you very good results. I ve achieved excellent detail on Jupiter with the regular Celestron Plossl set.

We absolutly enjoy using the Meade 20218, however i'm not sure what other lenses will work. For the price, great telescope!

I'm sorry I can't be of much help as I am not familiar with your camera. As far as eyepiece, you should not need one. You place your magnifying device in the upper portion, and attach your camera to the lower. I was able to get my camera lens right up to my magnifying device. Although, I only had a cheap monoscope. Haven't tried it out with spotting scopes, but it does allow for many styles and shapes of cameras, I feel.

I cannot, but I can give you my perspective on the StarMax 90 mm by Orion. It is small, portable, and clear, but I wear glasses, and it is hard to see through with the 10x eyepiece. I think all of the small scopes will be. I wish I had spent the extra $100 and bought the 6" Dobsonian mounted reflector, but I wanted to use this during the day for spotting animals from a distance. I gave this as a present to my wife who hasn't worked with the telescope yet, and she may have different opinions. I did get her the camera mount, polar lens, and an extra eye piece that doubles the magnification. I think that you'll find that both are probably one in the same IMO. I do like the table top mount that the Orion has. I think once the weather warms we will be able to give a more thorough opinion. I think I will end up getting the reflector with the Dobsonian mount the color CCD eyepiece from Orion, and a few extras. If you have room I'd suggest the 6" reflector, or this http://www.telescope.com/Orion-XT45-Dobsonian-Telescope-amp-Beginner-Barlow-Kit/p/102027.uts . I feel that we may outgrow the Starmax 90, but I think the 4.5 or 6 with Dobsonian would well used for the lifetime of star gazing.

That will depend on your telescope focal length and your eyepiece focal length. In my case, I use two of this to focus with my orion 120mm and 8mm eyepiece.

I bought the moon filter at 1.25 but it is too small. The eyepiece is 1 5/8". When I put the moon filter into the eyepiece, unless I am doing it incorrectly, it does not sit in the center of the eyepiece (eyepiece too big for the 1.25 filter).

Yes Kenneth. Buy an adapter for use 1.25 inch eyepieces and filter into telescope focuser. Here this one: 2"-to-1.25" Orion Telescope Eyepiece Adapter

I am looking at the picture of the back of the 750 on the B and H site. The eyepiece is square, and very likely identical to the one one the D7100 which we have. So yes, most likely. It takes a while for the Hoodman specs to catch up with the newest camera version. I say likely because I don't have a 750 to test &lt;groan&gt;.

I could not get my Celestron XCel series 2X Barlow to focus. It was way beyond the focuser's travel and others have noted this but apparently Orion's Shorty 2X Barlow will work with this telescope as well as GSO 2x barlow from Agena AstroProducts. The useful magnification on this telescope is 200X but that is probably counting on optimum conditions. For planetary views with average conditions with a 100mm telescope, magnification of 100X to 120X are probably expected to be the clearest.

The magnification is found by dividing the focal length of the objective lens (400mm) by the focal length of the eyepiece. The telescope comes with two eyepiece lenses, 4mm and 20mm, so with the first one should have a magnification of 100x and with the second,20x. I am not making any comment on the quality of the image produced here.Brian Oliver.Brian Oliver.

I'd start with a good 2X Barlow lens. It doubles the mag of all your other eyepieces...

It will fit most microscopes after you take the eyepiece out, personally I would not waste the money on it as the software that comes with it is really a sad affair. The image you get on the computer is only about 3" square that makes finding focus very difficult. I would have returned it but kept it to long. I am presently using a 16mp point and shot camera with a home made adapter that is getting beautifully focused images under all powers of magnification. Good luck
