will this work good for the orion xt8 classic?

Yes, as long as you are buying a new xt8 classic that comes with the 1.25" adapter for it's 2" focuser as part of it's accessories. Happy stargazing!

It will work well with any telescope with 1.25-inch lenses. According to the specifications for the Orion XT8 Classic, this will work. http://www.telescope.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=102005&gclid;=CJDj45mbnL0CFfNxOgodQRMA_g

I don't see why not. I use mine all the time with my Orion 130ST. The Barlow lens should work on pretty much any reflector or refractor for that matter. It slips into the eyepiece socket on the scope and then your regular eyepiece fits into the Barlow. It does make the lens stand out from the scope another inch, but just rotate the scope on its mount to get a comfortable view. BTW, I've been so impressed with this lens that I also ordered a 5X Barlow to see if I can really bring Saturn in. Good viewing and Happy St. Patrick's Day!

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.

Yes...I have the xt8 with this finder scope and I love it. However, I also use a green laser held against the base of the finder scope mount for very very good quick approximation...and honestly that technique seems to be easier and more effective than using any scope.

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.

You need 2 things, a T ring for whichever DSLR you have and an adapter to fix the T ring to the telescope. Heres a link for the universal adapter, but you'll have to find a T ring that fits your camera. Orion 1.25-Inch Variable Universal Camera Adapter

You will need a 0.965"-to-1.25" Orion Telescope Eyepiece Adapter to make this work. The cost is $22.99 plus tax and shipping.

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.

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.

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.

You bet, just use the correct box per Orion's specs (page 21 for this amp) - http://www.directeddealers.com/manuals/OG/Orion/GHCCA102%202008-11MLweb2.pdf

I think they will not fit in the barrel of the Universal Adapter, only 1.25 inch eyepieces that has nearly the same diameter in both ends. Here´s the specificacions offered in the Orion wep page: "Since the Universal Camera Adapter features an inside diameter of 38.6mm, you can insert any 1.25" telescope eyepiece that has an outer housing diameter of 38.6mm or less". Hope this was helpful for you!

It may work but only for sirius not sirius/xm you have to call sirius they will help you find what you need make sure you get right cables some don't Match right do some research it a pain in the ass to find all the right parts you need look up PDF file for your model to start hope this helps

Yes I have an Orion skyquest 8 and the fit perfectly with the 2" to 1 1/4" adapter that came with the scope.

I am not familiar with the Orion 09798 StarBlast but I would suspect it does use the 1.25 inch eyepiece since most respectable telescopes do allow for that dimension. I bought mine for my Celestron 9.25 and I am very happy with it. Hope you are equally pleased.

Gerald, if this looks like your old power cord it probably will work. I have a Sirius Starmate 8 that I had to replace the power cord

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

They should work fine. Theses accessories are for any telescope that uses 1.25 inch diagonals or eyepieces. I've used them on an 8SE and my current Nexstar 11 GPS without issue. The eyepieces aren't of the highest quality but will do for general viewing.
