Hello. Thank you for your videos!! I’m a total beginner ... I have a sky watcher 130 with mini az mount. It’s has a 1.25 lens mount, I have quickly learnt this is to small to look through for any length of time!! Can I put a 2 in lens , a monitor or even hook up my iPhone and use that for viewing?? Any thoughts please🙏🏼🙏🏼

I'm new too. They sell phone mounts that let you adjust the camera lens over your eye piece for viewing, which I plan on doing. They also sell mini cameras that hook up to your laptop, allowing you to view on the screen.

Hi, great video as I'd been considering a zoom lens. I just purchased a Celestron CN-6 and it came with a 20mm plossl, last night I viewed Jupiter for the first time which appeared around 2mm in size, and was bright white. In order to see some detail such as cloud belts what eye piece would you recommend?
@granthiggins6690

Sounds like a focusing problem, perhaps. I have Televue eyepieces from 15mm to 32mm and a 2x barlow and a 8LS Meade scope and can get nice details. I also have a Meade 90 refracter scope and get very clear seeing of Jupiter. So sounds like focus not focal lenght. Or you have an eyepiece assembled on a Monday. Woo! Just noticed you posted this seven years ago. Did you work it out?

After watching a few videos on eyepieces, I figured the prices would be really high. Doesn't seem like they cost much relative to other telescope accessories. I thought it would be like a camera; the lenses can cost as much or more than the camera itself

Hi ! I am new to telescope , and I have question regarding the eye pieces and the focal length of telescope , so is that any limit to put any eye pieces on the shorter length scope ? I mean like I have own a 450mm focul length , and I wonder how big is the power eye pieces that I can use on it , I search around on youtube and didn't find any of it , hope to have answer here for it , and sorry for my bad English , Thanks

Hi there, and thanks for posting. The aperture of your instrument is the essential factor for legislating the maximum useful magnification. Assuming your telescope to be 80mm; multiply this figure by 2 to give a theoretical maximum magnification of 160x (any increase will give you a dimmer, larger-scale image with no additional detail). Now divide the focal length of 450 by 160 to get 2.81. This result would indicate 'theoretically' that an eyepiece focal length of 2.81mm would deliver views of the maximum magnification of 160x. But 2.81mm it not a standard size, so a 2.5mm or 3mm is more readily available. But unless the eyepiece is reassuringly expensive, I would avoid looking for either - especially if your scope is a modest achromatic refractor. Settle instead for a good inexpensive 6mm Plössl and a two element Barlow. If you buy a 2.5mm or 3mm it's likely you will hardly ever use it. On rare occasions that you do, you'll spend most of the time studying the floating debris inside your eyeball (everybody has this, even if you are young) as the exit pupil - the diameter of the beam of light exiting the eyepiece - will be about half a millimetre (80/160 = 0.5mm) and this is not the route to happy viewing! If your scope is larger or smaller than 80mm, just substitute the correct aperture and redo the above math. If you want to see some of this in more detail have a look at our back catalogue video: Top 5 tips for improving planetary views with your telescope: kzitem.info/news/bejne/qqWY4GGIg3OTgn4. I hope this helps. KR RJD A&NTV

If it's the very basic 10mm eyepiece supplied with your telescope, then very definitely upgrade. But, carefully think about what you are looking at most often with your telescope, what your telescope is capable of using effectively and what you hope to get out of the upgrade.

What is the differences between a 2X and 3X Barlow... Do I use is with a 3 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm, or 8 mm eye piece??? Why would I buy a 9 mm or 10 mm eye piece??? I actually, want to see Jupiter, Saturn, and other stuff...
@iviajorjacobs9829

+Lip stick A 9 or 10 id say is actually one of the best eyepiece sizes for planets. You can see Jupiter and its moons as well as an amazing view of Saturn. 3 5 6 and 8 are to only be used when the seeing conditions are near perfect which they are not most of the time. If you are interested in more than just solar system views, then get anywhere from 24 to 40mm eyepiece as the lower magnification lets you see the bigger, fainter, more distant objects much better than a higher magnification. For seeing smaller dso such as planerary nebula, smaller star clusters, and some galaxies I would recommend anywhere from a 14mm to 20mm with a wide field of view. I just ordered an explore scientific 14mm 82 degree fov and am planning on getting the siriuss 32mm plossl soon as well.

Lip stick No problem. You can use a barlow if you have a 2x that means double the magnification of any eyepiece, so if you have a 10 and the seeing conditions are good enough you can put that on your barlow and it will be equivalent to a 5mm eyepiece. Also keep in mind that the more magnification, the fainter the object will be, so if you are having trouble seeing the cloud band on jupiter because of the brightness, then go to a higher magnification or if a nebula is too dim, change to a lower magnification. I also recommend eyepieces with a high fov. Check out explore scientific or if you are on a tight budget the orion expanse series.
