what is the megapixels for the telescope?

The telescope itself does not add megapixels, it just makes the phone capture an image from farther away. It zooms approximately 20 feet.

It enlarges x12 the image the megapixels depends on the camera and it's settings.

Absolutely not. The focus is not crystal clear and the image is not bright enough for stars. Also, the zoom feature requires refocusing throughout the magnification range which is very frustration.

I would say no. The focal length won't let you get enough magnification to get good pictures of distant nebula or things like that. I'd recommend something a little bigger like a 8 inch. Plus you'd probably want something with a motor drive so you can have long exposures, without distorted images.

my unit is a 20x100x70 with a 20x zoom capability. I am well pleased with the clarity of the objects that the optics provide. It is a matter of opinion regarding the amount of area you want to focus. The only thing I suggest is a hefty tripod to hold it steady for any long periods of time. Do not get a camera tripod for it is not stable enough with this type of unit.

I've done some amateur stargazing, even built a telescope. Most astronomy authorities recommend a 7 x 50 set of binoculars. The higher the power, the more shaky the image is unless you use a tripod. And 7x50's aren't too, too big; they're still a manageable size for watching a football game, for instance. Google 'binoculars for astronomy' and you'll get lots of advice.

Yes, that is it. I bought it and it screws into your telescope and the camera attaches to it. It essentially turns your telescope into a big lens.

That is the resolution of the main (rear) camera. It is equivalent to 5 megapixels.

I don't do terrestrial viewing other than to align the guide scope, so I can't say what qualifies for good. The image does look nice though. Magnification is great on this thing; on truly clear days I can get 250x. The images are upright.

As I understand the tradeoff, the 10x42 L model uses superior optical glass and because of this, images seen through it are virtually free of chromatic aberration ("purple fringing") and also devoid of ghost images when viewing bright objects at night such as the Moon and Jupiter. On the other hand the 15x50 model, whose optics are again of very high quality, but not quite as high as the 10x42L's, gives you a larger image size--each object is larger because magnification is 50 percent greater. This makes the choice difficult, even a toss-up. For a thoughtful comparison of the different Canon binoculars, go to www.garyseronik.com. Gary is an associate editor of Sky and Telescope magazine and he is an expert on binocular observing--has a book on the subject in fact.

Its a really fast wide field achromat refractor with lots of false color on bright objects like jupiter. Great for wide field deep space views. If you have scope and want to try astrophotography go ccd black and white on camera and LRGB filters. and a good processing and stacking software. that would be your best chance to get a decent image.

Hello, I would say the images for me are the same as I have the basic eyepieces and two sets of as you need two sets for the bino viewers but what I like is the eye relief that you get when looking through them and a almost 3d effect like you get when looking through binoculars. If you can afford it I would highly recomend it, not for just yourself but for other viewers as well. I have a Celestron 8SE and looking at Saturn, Jupiter, the moon, well its pretty awesome. My plan is to do astrophotography, if I was really into eyepieces I would go with the two inch and some nice Nagler eyepieces. Hope this helps, Good luck and dark skies.

The eyepieces are 10mm and 20mm. The 10 gives a 30x and the 20 gives 15x magnification.

49" long x 16" wide x 17" highIf you are curious about the height, you can go to the orion website and on the learning videos they have a picture. BTW, this telescope is awesome!

Hi Steven, Wish I could be more helpful, but I have never tried to use a camera with a telescope. I suggest you call Orion and ask for Tech Support. The number is (800) 676-1343. Hope you're able to get an answer to your question. Cordially, Joe Romaninsky

That I don't know. You would need to ask Orion, at http://www.telescope.com.
