Is the lens universal to all Orion telescopes?

This lens actually fits on the telescope's eyepiece not the telescope itself. Most decent telescopes of any brand use either a 1.25" or a 2" focuser assembly. Any 1.25" eyepiece that is threaded to accept filters should be able to use this particular Orion moon filter. For example, I use it on a Meade 1.25" eyepiece with an Orion telescope that has a 1.25" focuser. Users that have a telescope with a 2" focuser typically also use standard 1.25" eyepieces with an adapter ring. This lens can then be used on those eyepieces as well. For smaller telescopes, that gather less light, Orion makes a 25% transmission version so the moon will not appear too dark to the observer. If you have less than 4 to 6 inches of aperture, then consider going with the 25% version.

It should fir on any newer Celestron telescope, however this pointer is Very Cheap (as told to me by Celestron customer service) and it will only last a short time and has other issues. You might want to consider upgrading to the Orion 7228 EZ Finder II Telescope Reflex Sight which is pretty good or a Telrad Finder which is the best and mounts on any scope with double stick tape. It's a little big, but do a computer search for telrads and you will see that almost everyone recommends them.

Mine works well with the Orion 15x70, so yours should be fine in terms of size. However I am not familiar with where the screw fits on the Celestron. Advise you to compare the two binoculars. You can always return it if it doesn't work.

I don't see why not. I use mine all the time with my Orion 130ST. The Barlow lens should work on pretty much any reflector or refractor for that matter. It slips into the eyepiece socket on the scope and then your regular eyepiece fits into the Barlow. It does make the lens stand out from the scope another inch, but just rotate the scope on its mount to get a comfortable view. BTW, I've been so impressed with this lens that I also ordered a 5X Barlow to see if I can really bring Saturn in. Good viewing and Happy St. Patrick's Day!

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.

I can't answer your question about the Celestron Binoculars but can tell you that the diameter of the mounting tube on the Orion StarShoot is 1 1/4" and therefore is the same as a 1 1/4" telescope eypepiece. Sorry I couldn't help more.

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.

Yes, doesn't matter what lens you have. This follow focus really good for the price, very solid, no loose parts, at least i received a fine one.

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.

I as well did not receive a lot of information but I went online and learned everything. The telescope comes with an extra lense ( at least mine did). Go to www.orion.com and see what comes up.

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 forTech Support. The number is (800) 676-1343. Hope you're able to get an answer to your question.Cordially, Joe Romaninsky

If you want, I found this online, see if it helps?: http://www.telescope.com/Orion-StarShoot-USB-Eyepiece-Camera-II/p/102298.uts

Hey Iggy,Since I wrote, I did end up with the 8" Dobsonian Intelliscope. The answer is, the Orion scope is nicely balanced and with a little practice, you can get good at tracking objects by hand. With a 10mm eyepiece and 2X Barlow, which is a magnification of 240x on the 1200mm scope, you need to move the scope about every 20 seconds or so. You still need a motor driven mount if you plan on taking photographs, though.

Patty, Thank you for your inquiry. This telescope comes with a mount and is not compatible with other mounts. It is designed to sit on the ground and will locate and track objects for you. Sincerely, Orion Customer Service

Yes, definitively. But not with the standard lenses. The Sirius Plossi 10mm are good enough for interesting lunar views. Planets are still too small to really enjoy. But I bought 2x, 3x and 5x Barlow lenses and that is really good. A 3x Barlow with 10mm Plossi means 180x power. Nice views of Jupiter (Red Storm quite visible, atmosphere details as well) and Saturn (clearly defined rings). 5x Barlow with 10mm Plossi means 300x power. Good enough views (hard to focus without a 2-speed focuser, much more chromatic aberration). Furthermore, if at 180x it is already difficult to keep plante on view field (due to earth rotation movement), at 300x is almost impossible (unless you keep your eye on and keep adjusting position manually). For planets, a motorized mounting is mandatory. Also, at such high power, a usb camera plugged to a notebook would provide a much more effective way to see images (at notebook screen, obviously, not so "enjoyable" as a direct sight at ocular lens). I just bought a USB camera, as well as two astrophotography cameras, but have not yet opportunity to test. So, all in all: 1) for pleasant planetary views, with low cost, this Orion 120ST + 3x Barlow is really good 2) for formidable planetary views, consider upgrade either to a 100-to-120 APO Refractor or to a 160mm Reflector, with motorized mounting and good cams.

It comes with a single 25mm eyepiece, so to answer your question outright, "no". But the 25mm is sufficient for seeing moons around jupiter and the rings of saturn with little effort. You can easily see nebula and some star clusters on a 25mm. I bought the http://www.amazon.com/Orion-08890-1-25-Inch-Telescope-Accessory/dp/B0069VXRLS/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1398047491&sr=8-4&keywords=1.25+orion+eyepiece set to fill out and have a nice starter set. Hope this helps

Hi, I am not sure about old lenses, but this mounting works well for me to attach D300 & D3200 on my Orion telescope.
