I have used it on the C8 and Meade 12, SCTs, and it works great with a 2x barlow on these scopes. I do not have a 3x. As far as the AstroMaster, I think the barlow would be too much power, JMO. I would try it with the zoom alone and see how it resolves at the lower fl range. I've had mixed results with the lower focal lengths on this ep. Of course, the higher seem better. I use this mainly as an indicator of the seeing conditions and the best fl for the object I'm observing. Then I usually change to that dedicated ep that fits the condition. It's hard to get a multipurpose ep to perform as well as a dedicated fixed fl one. However, again it does work pretty well on the higher fl. Hope that helps. WEK.

One more thing, unless you have excellent light collection, I'd be careful. Both of these lenses absorb some light, and at maximum magnification the image may be too dark.

Yes; but it must be properly aligned and firmly connected. I am not familiar with the AstroMaster AZ70 but, if it accepts 1.25 lenses it should work.

Laverne, Here are a couple of links to get you going and answer your questions: http://www.telescopes.com/images/pdf/CELE017.pdf http://telescopeobserver.com/review-of-celestron-127-eq-powerseeker-telescope/Take care & good luck.Robert

Hello Kamal, You will first need a Nikon t-ring and Celestron sells one and the part number is 93402. You will then need to purchase the Celestron Edge 8 t-adapter 93644. With this combo you can shoot the moon and do some short exposures of bright deep sky objects. For more serious work in photographing the deep sky you will want to purchase an autoguider and a separate guidescope and dovetail plate to work with this telescope. The Celestron part numbers are as follows: 94216, and 52309, as well as 93713. You will probably have to add an extra counterweight if you go that route and that is part number 94203. For planetary photography I would recommend Televue's 4x Powermate part number PMT-4201 along with their t-ring adapter for that amplifier which is part number PTR-4201. You will of coarse need the Nikon t-ring that I mentioned before to make it work with your camera. I hope that this was helpful! Best, Dave High Point Scientific

Technically, no. Not ALL 1.25" eyepieces will achieve infinity focus. Eyepieces from Celestron's X-Cel LX line can definitely do so, so do those from Pentax. There are probably other brands that would also work--just do some research. The following information comes directly from Celestron: " The Regal F-ED series spotters have a 1.25" eyepiece holder and the OEM-supplied zoom eyepiece is easily removed from the scope by a twist of a knurled ring. Because 1.25" barrel-diameter eyepieces are very widely available, you can use other eyepieces with your Regal. However, not all eyepieces will work with the scope because of the design of the internal focusing and 45-degree prism assemblies. This places the image plane for the spotter's objective at about the back of the knurled ring. So the Regals have a small back focus distance. Eyepieces that have long 1.25" nosepieces or barrels (with field lenses recessed about 1 inch or more) generally won't be able to achieve infinity focus with the Regal spotters. Nor will 1.25-inch- type T-adapters or Barlow lenses work with the scopes. The OEM zoom eyepiece has both a short nosepiece and its field lens at all magnifications is close to the end of the nosepiece tube. Eyepieces that will work with the Regal will have similar physical characteristics. As an example, most eyepieces of the Celestron X-Cel series have these characteristics and will work with the Regal F-ED series."

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.

It should as all but the cheapest telescopes use 1 1/4" eyepieces. Check your existing eyepiece to confirm as Celestron does not actually list the size.

This should work with any telescope that requires standard 1.25 inch eyepieces. They should also work with any telescope with 2 inch eyepieces, provided you purchase an adapter. I use them on an Orion Skyquest XT6 and have no issues.

From what I can tell, it does not appear to be compatible. The 1.25 inch kit by Celestron that contains the smaller cousins of these will surely work. This is a high quality set.

I googled it and what I found says "yes" The 18778 is suppose to work with all Celestron series.

I don't know, I have the Astromaster 130, but as long as it uses 1.25" eyepieces then you shouldn't have a problem.

I wouldn't, unless you have a really extravagant and solid and extremely heavy (and costly) tripod to give extreme stability to your telescope. And maybe not even then. This Barlow gets in really tight, and even a very slight breeze will knock it out of focus or cause vibrations if you use this coupled with a zoom. Tighter is not always better. I have a Celestron zoom and this Barlow as well. I use them both. But I don't use them together. Hope this helps. Great question!

Yes - it should work. 70 AZ has a 1.25" eyepiece, so these accessories should fit.

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.

I have a Celestron C90mm Spotting scope Focal length 1250mm the importance here is the eyepiece...if yours is 1.25" AstroMaster acc.will work. do not expect super quality but is nice to have it !

Yes, it will work. I use the 2x lens in my full size scope as well as in my Orion go-scope. As long as the celestron uses the same width lenses (which it appears it does) they should work fine. Mine works great in my travel scope.

Yes, these accessories will work with that telescope, but you might be better off spending the same money on two Celestron X-Cel LX eyepieces. The X-Cel LX are of higher quality and have longer eye relief, making them more comfortable to use. Consider the 9mm and 5mm, yielding 111x and 200x magnification, respectively.

Yes, but you will still need to buy the adapter (http://www.amazon.com/Celestron-93625-Universal-1-25-inch-T-Adapter/dp/B0000665V6/ref=pd_bxgy_p_text_y) if you are going to use it with a Celestron telescope.
