If I use a T adapter would I be able to keep the magnification eye piece on?

This camera does not require a T adapter, this camera fits into a 1.25 inch eyepiece holder. Not sure what you're asking.

I'm not sure i understand. The T-adapter provides threads to attach a standard camera body to the telescope, but unless the adapter is also a barlow lens, there is no magnifying lens in that configuration. The orion USB eyepiece fits into the standard 1.25 focuser, where an eyepiece would be. If you want magnification (which you will need to get the most out of the pixels), a barlow lens is most appropriate/easiest way to do this. The orion eyepiece won't fit into a t-adapter.

The adapter will physically match up if the camera release tab is removed. However, the focus correction will not work with 1970,s Tamron lenses. The item did not work for my purpose.

No problem! However, I have lost 2 adapters already. They easily come off when you're not paying attention. I also change lenses underwater with no problems at all.

That isn't how this is designed to be used. This just threads into the T Ring for prime focus. For what you are wanting to do you most likely need a zoom eye from Celestron that has the T Thread built in under the eye relief for example http://www.amazon.com/Celestron-93230-24mm-1-25-Eyepiece/dp/B0007UQNV8/ref=sr_sp-atf_title_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1371435550&sr=8-1&keywords=93230 .

The T-adapter has the same fitting on the camera side as your lens and the other side is a 1.25 inch tube. Push the tube into the eyepiece hole of the telescope (or the camera port - I never use that because it puts too much weight on the end of the OTA). The T-adapter must be chosen for your model of camera.

There's kind of a notch on the back, right below where the triangle is pointing to. In that notch is a silver tab. That tab has to be pressed down, or moved to the side. That will lift the tiny metal cylinder that locks into the lens and holds the adapter into the lens. I have a few different types of adapters, and they're all a little tricky to get off. But once you understand the concept of lifting that tiny cylinder up, it's not too hard to figure out how to remove them.

No, a scope would fit. As far as being strong enough for the scope to hold zero it is not. Good for only a magnifier.

If you have a t-adaper it will probably be usable, but you might be better off getting a shorter lens and a 1.4 or 2.0 converter.

I think it would work, light is direct and magnification is generous. With the adjustable neck you have quite a lot of control.

Hi, it does have magnification, but through the included software (via download). It's a digital zoom. So you do lose some quality. To attach, you need to remove the existing eye piece. There is a very small screw holding it. Unscrew that and then pull out. For my microscope, I did not need any of the included adapters. Note installation may be different if you have a different model microscope. Hope this helps.

Yes. If you're not using iron sights, then the regular mount will also work and will also have room for a 3X magnifier.

Absolutely. There are two screws that attach the base of the magnifier body to the mount, simply reverse the tube. When mounted this way, you squeeze the button rearward with a finger and flick the magnifier to the right with your thumb. I actually find this method easier than the standard push-thumb claw grip over the top, and reset is even easier. It sounds weird to anyone who is used to the usual way, but it takes about thirty seconds to adapt. I like this much better.

No. The headband fits higher than my glasses, and the magnifying lenses are quite a bit further out than my glasses. The presence of the extra set of (glasses) lenses no doubt changes the focal point a bit, but that just means you'd hold something a little closer or a little further away to achieve focus. They are very nice magnifiers, with a good, bright LED light that you can adjust to shine directly on the subject at hand.

From my experience, it depends more on the camera than other things. If the lens barrel of the camera extends when the camera turns on, the adapter may not work very well. Maximum theorectical distance between the tripod mount screw and eyepiece lens is about 2 1/2 inches.

Yes, the adapter is called a T-Mount and should have been included with the original purchase. (I don't recall seeing one advertised without this mount included but it is certainly possible.) The t-mount screws onto the lens and then mounts to the camera.

Hello. If you intend to mount a DSLR camera to your telescope using this T adapter, then yes, you will need the T Ring that is applicable to your camera make/model. If you are not mounting a camera to your telescope, then no T ring is needed.

Sorry, just noticed this question. No, I have never used a magnifier. My sight is set one slot back from fully forward and there is just enough room for my flip down rear BUS to clear it. Hope that helps.
