The Celestron 8 - 24mm Zoom Eyepiece uses premium optics that are fully multi-coated for crisp, clear images. The folding eyecup lets you view with or without glasses, and the field of view (40 - 60°) works well for terrestrial observations as well as for views of the Moon, planets, and deep-sky objects.
The high quality Celestron 8mm - 24mm Zoom Eyepiece allows you to choose from a variety of magnifications with ease. Simply grip the rubberised barrel and turn it slowly while looking through the eyepiece, then pick the best power for the object you are observing. Alternatively, you can use the lowest magnification (24mm) to find an object and centre it in your field of view, and then increase the power until the desired view is achieved. It is fast and easy, and lets you examine any object at various magnifications without requiring you to physically change eyepieces.
T-Thread for Astrophotography
Below the rubber eyecup is a male T-thread which allows you to connect a DSLR camera using an appropriate T-Ring adapter. Simply connect your camera using the t-ring and start taking photos of the night sky!
