Is the eyepiece fixed or can it be swapped out? Thank you.

The eyepiece mount actually incorporates two mount systems. the included eyepiece mounts with a threaded ring to insure a rugged waterproof attachment. However, after removing the threaded eyepiece, you'll find that it also has a STANDARD 1.25" tube to accept standard telescope eyepieces of your choice. The available selection of standard 1.25" eyepieces is boundless. Note that when using a standard eyepiece, you will be giving up that rugged and waterproof feature.

The eyepiece can be removed but I have not investigated the availability of other eyepieces. John Cullom

The eye piece is a separate piece. I remove it everytime after I am done using it. I imagine it could be swapped out.

It is basically just an eyepiece replacement. That said it crops the field of view (a lot). I found resolution modest and the software unacceptable. I returned the item.

Yes mine did this... very annoying.. there is no fix... it almost appears as if the telescope handle was installed upside down the groves are not deep enough or the release lever is defective. . I send it back to get a replacement the next day. hope the replacement works ok..

Paul, thank you. From the specs alone, I agree, but I think there must be some significant difference between the two sets. The only thing I can see from the specs is something about the eyepiece adjustment.

These filters DO fit, as the 127EQ (I have one myself) has 1.25" eyepeices. The kicker though, is that our eye pieces do NOT have any threads (the eyepieces that come with the set). I've been told by Celestron to hold the filter between my eye and the eyepiece. Sigh. Best thing to fix that...get a different and better eyepiece.

I ordered one and had the same issues with changing the eyecup. After many failures I went to a local camera shop. The guy at the counter squeezed the frame at the three o'clock and nine o'clock position and moved the frame straight up. The eyecup change after that was easy. The install procedure was just reversed. Enjoy.

Swapping the lens is very simple. I always keep the lens in the supplied box and attach (snap in) when using.Beware that you are getting what you pay for. The OptiVisor is a significant improvement for a little more money.

there is a knurled ring between the eyepiece and the magnification adjustment ring. it may be hard to turn but that is the focus ring.

There's an insert for 1.25" which can be removed for 2" eyepieces. Also, the telescope only comes with a couple of 1.25"...or at least that was the case when I purchased.

there is no way that I am aware of to change the lens system. it is all self contained.I have had very good luck with mine as is. I hope this helps answer your question

The optics are top notch but the glue on the rubber eye pieces failed which did cause it to spin freely. I have spoken to Vortex and was told it's been fixed.

Sorry, I don't know where you can replace that. My problem was with the rubber switch which eventually fell inside the housing and when I tried to remove the lens cap, it ended up breaking as it is apparently not removable. One down, one to go.

RCE, Here is the link to address your answer, it will assist you in getting your eyepiece back together: http://www.celestron.com/support/knowledgebase?article=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.celestron.com%2Fc3%2Fsupport3%2Findex.php%3F_m%3Dknowledgebase%26_a%3Dviewarticle%26kbarticleid%3D2393%26group%3Diframe&title;=I+%E2%80%9Caccidentally%E2%80%9D+took+apart+my+Celestron+20+mm+erect+image+eyepiece.+How+do+I+put+it+back+together%3F

I have never had an eyepiece come off inadvertently, but I can say the DK-21M seemed very tightly adherring when I installed it. I have since given the camera to my son and have not heard of any problems from him eitherr.

No, there is not. As long as you're gentle the position will remain the same when switching eyepieces. The springs that hold the tube to the base do a good job of keeping it in place, but still movable. There is a bolt that you can tighten or loosen to control the amount of resistance to spinning.

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.
