Is it possible to use 1.25" eyepieces and filters? Really would like to get a LPR filter for sky viewing.

I bought the 1.25 kit to go with this. NONE of them fit. They are NOT interchangeable. Save yourself the trouble and don't bother ordering lenses

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

I bought the moon filter at 1.25 but it is too small. The eyepiece is 1 5/8". When I put the moon filter into the eyepiece, unless I am doing it incorrectly, it does not sit in the center of the eyepiece (eyepiece too big for the 1.25 filter).

the eye pcs come off and can be changed. I use it as a spotiing scope only so I dont know exactly what you mean

The aperture or the focal length of a scope have no bearing on the eyepiece used.They will work just fine on yours.

I have found there is really no proper way in how to focus the eyepieces. You just have to keep adjusting them, mess around with it until they are adjusted to your satisfaction. I wish I could help your more, but thats really all I can say.

When I purchased this telescope, it came with a 1.25" diagonal, and a 1.25" 40mm Plossel eyepiece. I strongly recommend you at least get the Celestron 2" eyepiece kit like I did. It is a great starter kit. I would advise against 1.25" eyepieces. With a telescope of this size and light gathering power, those are to small. You will also need to power it. To do this, you either need to get the AC power adapter from Celestron if you are going to be near an AC outlet, or the Celestron Power Tank like I did, for use in the field. Hope this helps. It is a fantastic telescope! I also got the new Celestron StarSense Auto Align camera, so the telescope is automatically aligned by it.

Kenneth, I have an Orion XT6 that has a 1.25" rack and piñon focuser. The Barlow works well as well as all eyepieces and filters.

I know that I got Celestron 1.25" plssi 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 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. Heres 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 should. The 1.25" barrel is the standard size. Check your eyepiece barrel diameter. Make sure it can take 1.25" tube.

Any 1.25 inch eyepiece should be compatible. A search indicates that series is 1.25", so yes. Should work fine.

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.

It is always better to keep the filter to the closest point from your eye. In this case, immediately below the eyepiece. Combining multiple filters may be useful to watch bright phases of moon and venus. For order sake, i would say Barlow, Filter, Eyepiece and Your Eye in order. The filters have thread which can help u screw and pile up. So Enjoy!!

The answer is NO! You can buy solar filters for the objective lenses, but not for the eyepieces.

This replaces your 1.25" eyepiece. It can still be used with a Barlow lens or focal reducer.

yes it can be used with any 1.25 telescope I use it on a 80eq a 4.5" and 10" dobsonian.

I got the "MULTI-ADAPTER MA5-4" from this website [ http://www.desertskyastro.com/Dovetails.html ] $25 plus $6 shipping. I have the scope attached to a Celeston CG-2 mount I got for around $120 on Ebay. It's fine for just viewing but I wouldn't recommend it for photography which I am not into. I highly recommend getting the double stacking filter if you haven't gotten it already...it's very much worth it. It greatly enhances the viewing experience.

Yes they will. 1.25 is the size eyepiece your telescope takes. This kit comes with 1.25 accessories. I bought this kit & love it.
