Celestron 93230 8 to 24mm 1.25 Zoom Eyepiece

Nice for astrophotography

The view is sharp out to the edge in my XT8G, and the zoom works well (although it's not quite parfocal - be prepared to adjust your focus a bit after you zoom) but the FOV is pretty narrow - especially at the 24mm setting. I'm just starting to try photography with it using my Canon EOS 1000D, and even though I'm new to astrophotography I'm already getting decent images and learning a lot. There's some vignetting when using a t-ring, the EOS and this eyepiece - I've ordered some M42 extension rings and will see if that helps with that and with image sizing. The built-in threads on the Celestron 8-24mm zoom eyepiece makes it a good tool for Newtonian owners who want to use their DSLR camera with their telescope.Read full review

Nice zoom eyepiece 8 to 24mm

Nice zoom eyepiece 8 to 24mm.
It's a convenient way to zoom in to see better features.
Works great on the moon and planets.
It has some weight to it but not as bad as you may think.
I use it with my Nexstar 5i and it gives nice views.Read full review

awesome. would buy again and recommend to anyone.

Im new to backyard astronomy and bought a used scope with no eyepieces. I got this one along with some other plossls... This thing blows away the competition. Way better than the omni. Worth the money you spend on these things and am switching to use x-cels for all my viewing needs going forward. The FOV is amazing and the zoom is so easy to use. Its a heavy piece so it may not work in smaller scopes with cheap mounts. Read full review

Excellant!

The kit is mint condition as advertised!
New in fact.
It is a great edition for my 6" Celestron Newtonian. The eyepieces are good and the filters open a new door(window). 😄
The case is sturdy, keeps everything together and relatively safe.
I would by from again.Read full review

Well worth having in your eyepiece arsenal !

Works as stated, very happy. Eliminates the need for many of my eyepieces. I use it with my Astromaster 130EQ w/ a Ecel 2X Barlow. Seen the rings of Saturn, Jupiter, extreme close ups of the Moons surface, then pan out from 8 to 24mm without refocusing.Read full review

nice addition to my scope.

planets are much easier to find at the wide end (24mm) and then can be zoomed in at the 8mm setting.
very useful with long focal length telescopes.

Celestron eyepiece

The adjustable Celestron eyepiece seems to work just fine. I am using it for terrestrial viewing not astronomical so I can’t come in on how good it would be for that use however use in a spotting scope is fine.Read full review

Celestron zoom eyepiece

Awesome instrument! with this zoom eyepiece there’ll be no need of that many eyepieces that come in different sizes.
*Comfortable, and the optics are really clear!

Great addition!!

I've been hesitant to buy a zoom eyepiece but this one absolutely great all the way from 8mm to 24mm. Couple this with a good 2x Barlow and what you can see will shock you

Great product

Perfect for casual viewing. I was looking for a few more eyepieces to complete my set then I saw these. Takes the place of 3 or more individual eyepieces.
