The Basics of Telescope Eyepieces
Ғылым және технология
A basic overview of eyepieces for beginner telescopes. I cover the eyepieces that come with many beginner telescopes, details on the different types of eyepieces, and general ideas about upgrading and buying new eyepieces.
Some of the eyepieces I discuss in this video:
Orion Sirius Plossls amzn.to/2LgZzhM
Celestron XCEL LX amzn.to/2L9tYOZ
Orion Stratus amzn.to/2rZTNZZ
Badder Hyperion amzn.to/2Lc3CvA
Televue Naglers amzn.to/2GxZhPO

Young man that information was absolutely fantastic. I've looked everywhere on here to try to find someone simple but yet precise and you are it. I am a new denture with a very inexpensive telescope it is a 700 mm by 40 mm and it came with a 25 mm IPS as well as a 10 mm IPS the same exact ones youwhen I remove my diagonal reflector I can't

@@jami6600 Young Man you don't need to Waste Your Hard Earned Money for a Nother Telescope. ALL You Need is a Descent Angle lense. Also you should get a 2x Barrel for around 20 and get 3 eyepieces a 15mm a 25mm and a 40 mm you can find them Almost New on OfferUp and Craiglist Total cost is around 30 to 50 no more than that. you should make sure you have the angel piece In the right direction
Almost the Bob Ross of telescopes. Very informative and calm. The right amount of information at the right pace.
Thanks Alan, just what I needed to hear! Hope all is well.
Very informative, thanks! I’m new to astronomy and guides like this are just what I need 👍
Wow this is great! Thank you!
Great video, helped me with exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.
Very informative and very well explained. Thank you Mr Hall!
Fantastic video! Thanks Allen. I thought you broke it down really well. Nice explanations, and you answered a lot of questions didn't know I had.
You answered my question in the first 90 seconds! Then answered some I didn't even think of. Thanks for posting!
Great video with lots of needed info for me. Im waiting for my first telescope to come and i was nervous about wasting time or money not knowing much about the lenses and centering the mirrors as im told ill need to do on occasion. Thanks for taking the time to explain things so clearly!
i agree with Joilly. Thank you for packing so much golden info into a concise lesson
Thank You Allan. After many tries I found a simple video that explain the different types of eyepieces in a very informative and interesting way .
Amazing explanation Allan. I've just got my first telescope and had no idea what a barlow/eyepiece was. Thanks man!
Cheers mate, after watching so many vids etc..on eye pieces i was totally confused as a newbie, your video answered all my questions and now i will go and get the correct eye pieces, once again thanks for the insightful vid!
Fantastic advice. Brilliant delivery from Allan too. You're a natural!!
Very well done. Just as a side note, I use a 55mm-2” eyepiece for a very wide field of view. A similar wide field can be obtained from a 40mm-1 1/4” eyepiece. Wide fields mean any planets will look small with very little detail, but extended objects like galaxies and wide nebulae will fill your field of view in dark skies. My choices for focal length are 55mm, 40mm, 24mm, and 16mm.
Gold. Thank you! Great advice for me. Can’t wait to upgrade my 25 and 10mm plossls that came with the scope.
Excellent advice and well explained basics of telescope eyepieces. I myself have a 30mm, 17mm, 12mm and a tele-extender. These handle cover everything. Nice job with the video.
Thanks for the great video. This information is exactly what I have been searching for!
Thank you Allan.. Your guidance on eye piece selection is precious..
Thank , thank you , I cannot thank you enough for clearing and answering my questions so freely.

Thank you Alan. Answered my questions, and educated me on lenses and my telescopes.
Thx for the explanation, finally a vid where I gain some understanding about my bresser reflection telescopes eyepieces :)
My goodness!!! What a wonderful video!!! It answered all of my questions. Thank you so much!!!
This is probably the most informative and complete video on KZread that I have ever seen. Kudos to you!
I have been looking for comparisons on 1.25 vs 2 inch eyepieces. Yours is the best. Thanks! 👍
Thanks a lot. It rarely happen people get to the point in an easy to understand way. This is the quality we are looking for :)
Very good info, exactly what I was looking for. And you make it so easy to understand. Thank you
This video was really straightforward and helpful. Just picked up my first real telescope today and got good info here. Thanks!
Jims with Legendary Auras Thanks for the video, Mr. Dad.
I have saved this video to watch again later. I have just bought a 12" Dob GoTo as my first Telescope, so the infor you have given here is gold. yes it came with two eyepieces as you say. I was thinking about what I would grauate to later on and what to avoid doing. but how is that mate, people are still watching your video from three years ago! cool stuff. cheers!! clear skies!
Useful information for me, thank you for making your video!
Great channel, very well explained. Basically, I’d go for a 15 mm and a 24 mm high end eyepieces + a high end barlow x2 and that’s quite enough for > 90% my needs
RIGHT ON TIME! I wear glasses and you helped me understand what I need to purchase.
Excellent, informative and well presented video Allan. :)) I have a Nexstar 130 telescope, and as a complete novice it has taken me 3 nights just to get the skyalign correct (I am based in the UK). I did not realise till today that I can increase the magnification of each eye piece, to further increase the accuracy of my sky align (I used a 25mm eye piece last night). Looking forward to doing this tonight, we are 29 degrees in the uk today with clear sky’s and zero wind. :))
Found this super helpful, i didnt know anything about the sizes. Thankyou :)
Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you
Great video. I’ve watched a few today and this one was my favorite. 👏
Thanks for all the useful, helpful information on eyepieces!

Thank you so much! Man is this a world of stuff to look into :)
Thank you for the info. I just picked up my second telescope. I am learning a lot but I really need to be able to explain this to my daughter's
thank you for your video, im not getting into this whole telescope stuff, since I got one as a gift for Christmas
This was very helpful! Thank you!
This is outstanding!!! My father ground his own mirrors & fabricated all of his telescopes, which I used as a kid. I grew up loving to look at the stars. But now, I only have a small Meade scope, with eyepieces that I got from a friend. I had no idea how use those - now I do! Thanks greatly for your video!!

Great Video and thanks for the advice
I like my wide-field eyepieces the best, too. Thanks for the post.

A really helpful video, thank you for sharing.
can tell you're trying to cover as much as possible, thanks for the video :)
Excellent tuition... Very much appreciated.
This is a GREAT video! Comprehensive & concise, this covered all the questions I had! :D I have an old Meade 4500 that I got when I was a kid & honestly I think I was too little at the time to appreciate & understand what a complex device I had been gifted. I still had fun with it, & saw some cool things, but it was a bit confusing for 10yr old me. Luckily, I'm older now & still have it (and it still works great!) so now I'm having fun learning about it all over again! Now I can go out, well informed, & buy my first set of eyepieces! Thank you so much!!
Really good video! Thanks for every information!
