How to Use Telescopes : Telescope Eyepieces

[gibs9105343]

could i make a kiddie telescope stronger by adding a stronger lense ????

[paulosham1]

Just what I was looking for, thanks.

[The1Skinsfan]

What would be the purpose of lowering you're magnification, also are there any smaller lenses aviable than the one that came with my telescope.

[rocket9244]

DAMN Ads!!!

[jamesbondaygee]

Nice, but doesn't really explain the inner workings of these lenses. We need diagrams to illustrate these points.

[jamesbondaygee]

The Volt Sucks! It's just a gas car!

[IAMMATSUDA]

@Zenziba95 spy on neighbours :)

[ddacanay09]

things get dimmer and less clear as the magnification goes up! so its better to use a lower magnification in viewing or looking an object in the sky

[natethegreat821]

Why is the camera so far away..... wtf

[windinhishair10]

@natethegreat821 so you can use your scope to see it up close lol

[Zenziba95]

wtf u gonna do with 55mm?

[Universound57]

@Zenziba95 lower magnification ...26mm - 55mm are great for viewing deep sky objects such as galaxies and nebula, as well as a great somewhat panoramic view of stars. very amazing to see, i recommend the televue panotopic 35 mm

[Napoleontas]

i dont understand why if you have a wider field of view with a lower magnification that will make the eye piece expensive, well after all you can use no telescope at all and have the wider view that you can get with no zoom at all...

I had 2 pieces in my telescope the one with the greatest zoom was smaller, i tried to look at Jupiter and with the lowest zoom i could see only a bright ball like a star, i with the greatest zoom that was something but i needed still more

[vibol03]

one of the things i learned today!

(length of the focal length of the telescope) ÷ ( length of the focal length of the eyepiece) = magnification!!!!

[atlasdaddy]

Thank you for the info. Very helpful for purchasing my next eyepiece.

[jellepieters]

when you get really high ....

[gregohks]

@jellepieters ahahhha

[MrFlyingscotsman1]

Fucking Adversiblalbla!

[leoncolombo]

Very helpful, thank you.

[vallev99]

i have a telescope but i cant see a thing through it!!! how do i see something!!??please

[SuperGKproductions]

@vallev99 ye im having the same problem its real annoyin

[fordpwrXR8]

@SuperGKproductions get a star map....just look for Jupiter ...you can not miss it!!

[shantikiran1000]

hey i have a 360x50 mm telescope.. how to use it to see the solar objects? plz help...

[Jules7892]

@shantikiran1000 This is Astro-Photographer Jules V. shantikiran1000 you will NEVER get 360x, The maximum your Telescope will ever get is 60x per inch of Aperture or your 50mm. Achromatic Objective is 2inches(50mm.) 2inchesx 60x=120x ultimate Maximum Magnification NOT 360x!!

[SoumyaSumitra]

How far can i see with a FL 300mm of Objective and FL 15mm Plossl eyepiece Telescope?

[AkiThePirate]

@SoumyaSumitra You should be able to see Jupiter quite nicely.

It's in the south-east(Northern hemisphere) at about 2am.

[Nighthawke70]

I can see his eyepieces are Celestrons. I own a six pack of their brand including a set of filters in a metal case. Very nice and an excellent investment. Often times you'll run into cheap eyepieces with most telescope outfits outside of the thousand dollar range reflectors or large SCT's

[mwalke36]

This is excellent information for a beginner like me. Thanks

[crzyshine]

Dude..that looks like Arkansas....thanks for the info.

[Vijster1]

thanks for the stuff about the barlow lens, but what about the thing that is called the erecting eyepice????

[monkeyboy4746]

@Vijster1 They are used with refractors to allow a "right-side up" image for terrestrial viewing.

[chuananrock]

is 'edu-science' brand of telescope a gd starter telescope? thks

[starsoffyre]

@chuananrock, edu-science telescopes are no more than just toys that advertise based on magnification and not aperture. I used to have one when I was 9. Apparently, the image quality is bad and the tripod caused the stars to move away as soon as you center it.

[JImbolenaDobX]

Thank you for showing me how to use a Barlow lens. I have been given a telescope with no instructions and wasn't sure how it fitted together - I do now thanks.

[Driver599]

I know you did not mention variable barlow lens but are the 2-3 variable any good and would you recomend them or are they low quality.
