What would the image magnification be if used on a Celestron 127Q PowerSeeker? (Equivalent to mm of a lens)
605355
Guessing you meant 127EQ?? Not familiar with 127Q, but for a 1M focal length, would be about the same field of view as a 6mm eyepiece. About 150-175 x. Probably a pretty good match for the 127 EQ. Do you already have the scope? Do you have a 4mm eyepiece? Assuming it is 127 EQ, it will be a little more stable and crisp than the 4mm that comes with a 127EQ

The user guide says that the "field of view is fairly small. It is approximately equivalent to the field of view through the telescope when looking through a typical (i.e. not wide-field) 5mm focal length eyepiece." So maybe 200x ?

The digital camera is software driven from a computer attached by a USB cable. The software has a zoom function that varies the magnification greatly. I don't know the maximum magnification possible with the camera.

Joyce, there's nothing listed on the magnifier itself. I'm fairly certain it's about 3x magnification, with a "spot"of about 5x. Hope this helps.

1.75x. Working distance is around 6-12". You'd never do that with a 5x magnification.

I can't tell exactly for sure from the internet and I don't own this scope. But if your eyepieces for this scope are 1.25 inch diameter then this barlow lens will fit your scope. This scope does seem like a low power scope with theoretical maxmimum magnification of 165X, but understand your desire to view objects at double the magnification that your eyepieces provide. You could also opt for a 4mm eyepiece assuming that fits your scope that will also increase your magnifcation to 400mm/4mm = 100 power, which may be cheaper than the barlow lens and meet your objective. I think celestron sells 4mm eyepieces you just have to make sure you get the right diameter eyepiece, again it seems like your scope takes 1.25 inch eyepieces but I can't be entirely sure with the time I have availabe to investigate this inquiry. Good luck and happy viewing.

Im not exactly sure but one thing I know for sure is you will need a reducer. This camera will magnify the image the same way a 5mm lens would. The big question you want to know before you buy this is if your telescope can move the camera close enough to the focal plane.

No. This goes in place of your eyepiece. This device is the equivalent of a 7mm eyepiece, which will already result in high magnification images. If you want to go further in, as many people do, then something like a 2.5X barlow lens should be employed. That's the next thing I'm going to acquire. I'm thinking that Jupiter with a 2.5X barlow will nearly fill the 640x480 frame size on my Celestron 8", with enough room to keep the image tracked. The frame stacking software, Registax is where the magic occurs. The videos you take of planets from this thing will not wow you, but after stacking they should.

As per previous answer it is just standard adapter for a camera specific T ring so you can attach camera to telescope that has 1.25 eyepiece It will not give more "strength" (I assume you mean magnification).

I have Celestron 102GT from Costco. I couple the t-ring with Celestron T-adapter 93625. I have several eye pieces. Most of them are too long, get in the way of the camera's reflective mirror. So, what I did was not to use any eye piece and removed the erect image diagonal-45 piece. In other words, I mounted the camera with T-ring and T-adapter directly to the main tube of my telescope. I was able to focus the moon that way. Remember to put the camera at manual and adjust the focus directly on the telescope.

I believe that is the maximum capacity according to Celestron. Really depends on your goals. If you're interested in imaging esp deep space then probably would consider a more robust platform. Remember that once you add a camera, filter wheel, guide scope etc you will be over the weight limit. For deep space imaging in particular I don't think it's a good idea to press the edge of weight capacity. You will most likely be disappointed. However, if you are looking to do solar system work or just visual observations then that's a different story. You're not going to require spot on tracking/guiding for that application. In that case I think you will be OK except you will still need probably a couple of extra counterweights. I think they are around 11 pounds each or so and they only give you 1 so you will need a couple more most likely. Hope that helps Clear skies! Dave

I have not measured out any area to view with the scope, so I can not be certain. As the mount for this device is not particularly great I usually end up putting the plastic ring around what I intend to view & zoom in to focus. Is it possible to take 1 cm2 shots with it, likely yes though you will have to experiment with focal lengths to get the magnification & field of view that you want. This device is more of a toy than a piece of lab equipment mainly due to the iffy base & the magnification dial's placement. If something more lab grade that is what you are looking for I recommend a more typical microscope such as this one: http://www.amazon.com/iOptron-ST-80-Digital-Microscope/dp/B0032VFC84/ref=fs_patw_1 It has higher magnification, a backlight, & multiple objective lenses. I hope this was helpful.

The magnification depends on the eyepiece used. This is a low end telescope, so image quality deteriorates at higher magnification (shorter focal length eyepiece) The maker claims 300X magnification using the supplied 3x Barlow; I find that claim laughable. Keep in mind that, as with any Astronomical Telescope, the image will be inverted (upside down, left to right reversed) unless you use an erecting diagonal.

If the 130 can accommodate 2" eyepieces they should work fine..I use mine with my 11" Celestron SCT and have been please with the quality of the optics. Since the 130 is a reflector, it doesn't make sense to use the diagonal but the eyepieces will make viewing much easier and the kit is probably less expensive that the eyepieces and filters would be separately. (a call to Celestron is probably a good idea)

Don't know but I would strongly recommend the Celestron 10X42 Outland binoculars instead of the 8X42. The extra magnification with the wide 42° field of view is worth.

Cannot tell specifically. If you want large magnification, you need to insert the object inside the clear plastic area. It is not even half of stated zoom otherwise. It does a decent job for the price.

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 agree that even though the specs say 200x the Celestron people say magnification depends on the size of the monitor. Aside from that, the stand is so flimsy, and the power control dial so stiff that it is nearly impossible to bring something into focus at the highest power. If I had it to do over again I would spend more money on a much better setup. This is just a frustrating toy.
