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

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

    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.

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. :))

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!
