There seems to be conflicting reviews about the use of the barlow with a Celestron 70az. Will this work or is it for the 90 only? Thanks!

It would work fine with a 70AZ (it fits as it is 1.25) but I wouldn't go too high in magnification with only a 70mm aperture.
215758
Yes. The one issue this kit has with the 70AZ is that the doubling lens arrangement cannot fit properly directly into the focusing tube. Not a problem if you are using the diagonal but if you wanted to use the doubling lens for photography with the camera connected to the doubling lens tube (without the diagonal) it won't work (will work on the 90Z though).

Really I do not know ... works for my C90mm but if your scope has eye piece 1.25" I think it will work. Do not expect too much of a quality but the set is worth the money you are going to pay for ! again check if your eye piece dimension is 1.25" then it will work ! good luck !

Ask what kind of reasons are those ....HI HIHI ! if you are not too far from California City California I will lend you mine !

It can be used with a 2x or 3x barlow to get higher magnification of the planets. May be harder to focus and harder to keep the image centered unless you have good tracking. Experiment! Ernest.

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.

It will work with any standard 1.25 inch eyepiece adapter or focuser, but i second the previous answer regarding tracking. I suggest downloading Stellarium (free planetarium software) and entering your telescope and the sensor specs into the telescopes plugins so you can see what the field of view would be in you 80 mm, and how quickly objects move out of that field of view. If it's too small, and you don't have mount that is tracking the sky, you might end up just being frustrated.

You can put a Celestron 93230 8 to 24mm 1.25 Zoom Eyepiece in there and it works.I did it today works great can zoom until there is no vignetting.

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.

I can't tell exactly for sure from the internet and I don't own this scope. But if your eyepieces for this scope are 1.25 inch diameter then this barlow lens will fit your scope. This scope does seem like a low power scope with theoretical maxmimum magnification of 165X, but understand your desire to view objects at double the magnification that your eyepieces provide. You could also opt for a 4mm eyepiece assuming that fits your scope that will also increase your magnifcation to 400mm/4mm = 100 power, which may be cheaper than the barlow lens and meet your objective. I think celestron sells 4mm eyepieces you just have to make sure you get the right diameter eyepiece, again it seems like your scope takes 1.25 inch eyepieces but I can't be entirely sure with the time I have availabe to investigate this inquiry. Good luck and happy viewing.

Yes. It will work just fine. Any 1.25" diameter Barlow will work in the indicated Refractor.

Get the celestron powertank (dont forget to charge it once a month), i also bought the celestron eyepiece set, great set and a good case with it. Also use the two star align, three atar doesnt work, and google for how to set it up as you must put the alignment stars in the middle of the eyepiece then move it left down up right (as the star looks in the eye piece), then click to set it as an alignment star. It will then track all night usually after one quick up movement once aligned. It is a brilliant scope, good luck!

I'm pretty sure they are the same...the X2 "Shorty" Barlow...def worth it. The XT8 is a GREAT telescope.

I do not know.... I suggest you contact Celestron tech services for this question. After thinking about it, I think you can do it....Sorry for the weak answer...

I know I have a celestron 4se computerized and it worked beautifully. It's a little difficult for the settings to get color but once you do, you will be amazed.

There is no aperture listed. The one I purchased is model # 93691... I would go with what Celestron claims. It fits into the 1.25" eyepiece holder with no problems.

All you need is a 1.25 Camera T-Adapter AND T-Ring. Celestron makes these, you should see it in the "customers who bought this item also bought" section. If not, look for Celestron 1.25-inch Camera T-Adapter and you should find it. Don't forget the T-Ring. The items are: Celestron 93625 Universal 1.25-inch Camera T-Adapter Celestron 93419 T-Ring for 35 mm Canon EOS Camera (Black) I bought one and it works well for my Canon Rebel (an old XTi). It works well, but it can be challenging to look through the view finder while pointing the telescope up. There are some adapters that are actually T-shaped that allow some light to go through at a 90 angle so you can focus using an eyepiece at a more comfortable angle. I'm at a loss for what they're called right now, sorry. Also, you can't zoom (in or out) with this adapter. There are additional pieces you can use to adjust the power slightly. This is important because I discovered the moon and sun to be too large when I use the camera hooked up straight to the camera.

If you don't exceed the magnification appropriate to the sky conditions, yes.Barlow and any good eyepiece from 32 down to 6 mm should be usable IF sky clear and steady. A Barlow plus 6 mm will result in magnification of 400 times in the XT8. That is the most power I could use and only on really bright objects. The Barlow is more useful to me with double- digit eyepieces, boosting the power of a 10,for instance, while keeping the bigger easier to see glass.A barlowed 10 gives 240x in a 1200mm long scope like the XT8.I sold my XT8 to buy a bigger scope but the XT8 is an excellent one.

If you're referring to the Orion 80mm tabletop refractor scope, that accepts 1.25 inch eyepieces then yes it should. Since the camera is akin to a 5mm eyepiece and the focal length of the Orion 80mm tabletop is 350mm, the camera will produce a 70 power image. Which is what the stock 10mm eyepiece combined with 2X barlow would produce. This camera should only work on brighter objects, such as the moon, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn perhaps. I'm not sure how tracking objects would work with such a scope, I use and equatorial mount. Anyways should work. I prefer the steady pics smartphone adapter for my astro-photography however, but that is me.

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!
