I am buying this telescope! I notice under accessories that additional lenses are available! Will the Plossi 9.7 series 4000 be compatible &amp; OK

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.

Celestron has a list on their site. Check the mount you have, not the telescope.

I can't directly answer your question; however, my NextStar 8 SE and all of the things that go with it (extra eyepieces, lights, etc.) except for the tripod, easily fit in the case. I can answer your question directly, if you get the dimensions of both telescopes, it should be easy to figure out if the scope that you're interested and will fit. Hope this helps.

1.25 celestron accessory kit with 5 lenses from 6mm to 32mm. 2x barlow lense. moon and colord filters. think its $125, but necessary. reasonableand works great with my meade. and oh, they shipped me the wrong model , which wasn't the biggest deal, but would've been a major issue to exchange, so I kept the ng-60 which came in a box marked ng-70. make sure to check the mm by the eyepiece to confirm u get or got the right tube. nice scope. be gentle, and good luck.

As an adapter, this is nothing but a stand which will assist you for holding any camera if there is a screw at the bottom of your camera. So, yes, it will support ANY camera which doesn't have extending lenses. I even have my SLR mounted in this WITHOUT the lenses as there is no space for any extending lenses. Evaluate whether you will actually need this and take a call. Which brand and model of telescope are you using?

I was looking at a T4i a couple of days ago, to upgrade my cameras and it appeared to me it will work. You do have to remove the existing eyepiece frame first, but it simply slips off with no problem. I found the eyepiece is a must have as it blocks out side light and movement that distracts while shooting. Enjoy!

I assume you are asking about the orion scope vs the celestron scope? I've no experience with the orion st, there's a comparison on cloudy nights' user forum. There is a lot of info there. I beive that is where I found a write up on what to expect from various size optics and focal lengths. I'm still happy with the astromaster. It has pretty good optics, but as many people have pointed out, the mount is a little flimsy.

What you see, and two Lens a 10mm & 20mm and software with some fun things on it. Will get you started and go from there. I was able to attach it t9 my camera tripod as well which made it easier for viewing.But over all I am happy with it as my first telescope.

Did you get satisfactory answer? I have the same issue of not being able to focus.[edit] It looks like Cavalier Guy has the correct answer, but I did not understand it when I first read it; and the Celestron site also says this: " the 93640 inserts in to 1.25 focusers The built-in barlow lens can be removed and some telescopes will not focus properly without barlow.From what I've learned, this is key.. the addition of the barlow lens allows the image to be focused on the camera sensor.The 93625 (which is what i've been trying to use) does not include the barlow lens element.

I would recommend maybe one or two higher quality lenses, I purchased the extra lenses as well that came with the moon filter, finderscope and the skyX planetarium software by Celestron. All these have come in handy @ one time or another. The Grandkids are still enjoying the telescope when they come tour place in the country.

SKK, I'm not sure how to help you??I ordered the telescope for the science teacher at school I've NEVER used the telescope I don't know if the science used it with her students? My suggestion would be call or write the manufacturer. Check your instruction booklet if there's one??I just volunteering at a school and have access to Amazon that teachers don't have, I'm live out side of the US in a poor third world country! Hope you can get your problem answered?

You can use most of the Meade additional parts. I purchased the moon filter, and additional lenses/eyepieces are available as well as add-ons for cameras, etc.

A camera adapter as well as individual adapters for Nikon, Canon DSLR, etc are listed as options for this telescope on the web site. So I assume it's possible. But I don't have those adapters, never tried them, so I can not give you more info.

If you are going to be a serious skywatcher/ stargazer, I would upgrade to a better telescope for sure. But if you bought the celestron firstscope for your children or grandchildren, just to get them interested in the universe around us, I would replace the lenses. Celestron may replace the broken lenses for you
