I have an old sears 60mm equatorial refractor telescope Will this work if I buy 1.25 to .965 adaptor and what eyepiece will work for seascape viewing

I am using this adapter on an old orange tube Celestron 90 and it works. As far as the lens goes I can not help you on that other than you just added a couple of inches to the focus tube. The larger aperture lens I have worked fine, the smaller ones have not. The same has held true for the brand. Celestron lens have worked better than my Meade ones. The last problem is the actual focusing of the scope, with some of the lens the focuser is at its limit and I can not go any further and I have an out of focus image. So the answer is that the adapter works, but there are limitations.

Celestine has its own adapter specific to telescope devices so you might want to check on the Celestine site first. Outside of that a 1.25 inch standard eyepiece will work fine although my wide field of view 52mm erffle barely fits.

It should work with any telescope that accepts 1.25" eyepieces. However, a diagonal such as this is almost always *included* with the telescope, so unless you lost yours, there's no need to buy one.

Yes,The eyepiece is a standard 1.25 and is removable,any 1.25 eyepiece should fit this scope.

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.

Optica offers all adapters just ask them. They have outstanding customer service. This a great lens for shooting the moon but has no aprature ring so you need to set depth of field in your camera. This not a zoom but rather a fixed focus lens. I like mine but the moon after 750mm becomes to large to fit screen.

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.

There is no magnification with this T-Adapter is good for prime focus....where your camera is receiving light directly from the telescope...the "magnification" will be from the scope itself and no eyepieces...if you want magnification...you need a T adapter that will allow for use with a barlow lens...which is mainly used for planets...as deep sky objects are far too big

Yes, because it uses standard 1.25" astronomy eye pieces. Search telescope camera adapters for your specific camera

I went through the same thing and sellers don't seem to make it very apparent. Yes it does require an adapter. I looked at mine and I don't see a model number but it will depend on your eyepiece or camera. I would search "eyepiece adapter for..." Regards, Jeffrey

it will, though i have not bought the adapter from orion. i think an eye piece camera looks like a better way to go. i would contact orion if i were you, as they are quite helpful. good luck!

A 6mm eyepiece will give you about 75x magnification. I get better views of Jupiter in my scope with 4mm and 3.8mm eyepieces at about 115x. I don't like using a Barlow.

These eyepieces are 1 1/4 inch. And the Zhumell Dobs are designed to take 2-inch eyepieces and filters, but come standard with a 1.25-inch adapter so they should work.

I don't see why not if the 70EQ will accept 1.25" eyepieces, it should work.

Yes it will. This eye price will fit any telescope with a 1.25 eyepiece receptical.

Another thought: You may want to consider getting an equatorial wedge for your scope. That converts the alt-azimuth drive to an equatorial drive. Celestron sells one.

It will work just fine. You may want to invest in a quality eyepiece depending on what it comes with. I got the Celestron version and was mich happier when I put a plossl eyepiece in, but the Barlow fits any 1-1/4 inch
