  Telescope Eyepieces, Barlows

Eyepiece Adapters

Virtually all telescopes use one of two different sizes of draw tubes - .965" diameters - generally found on smaller, less-expensive telescopes.  1.25"  diameter - generally found on more powerful and expensive telescopes.  You can easily check to see which you have by measuring the diameter of the eyepiece or the tube it fits into.  The two adapters listed below let you use accessories with either size. 

Eyepiece Adapter .965 to 1.25
Hybrid diagonal mirror has .965" telescope input end and 1.25" outlet end so that 1.25" eyepieces can be used.

Eyepieces

Eyepiece Eyepiece
20mm Huygens Eyepiece 4mm Ramsden Eyepiece
NOTE: to determine the magnification each eyepiece will produce, divide the focal length of the the telescope (check catalog description) by the focal length of the eyepiece.  For example, if your telescope has a focal length of 500mm and if you use it with a  4mm focal length, the magnification will be 500 divided by 4, or 125, which means 125 power magnification.
