My Review
2010-03-16This eyepiece from Celestron made the experience with my telescope a lot better it's easier to focus or zoom out without switching eyepieces every single time, I highly recommend this product.
Not bad for the price but......
2010-02-28I purchased this for my Nexstar 6se based on the price and Celestron name. For general viewing this is a good zoom eye piece for the price. I used it to zoom into the moon and Saturn and both worked fairly well. One thing I noticed with this unit is that when you zoom you had to adjust your alignment on the object you were viewing and sometimes I had to refocus. I didn't mind those as the adjustment was not very much. The one thing I didn't like was the zoom control. I found it annoying at times to do the actual zoom with the way the zoom is setup. The zoom wasn't smooth and I often had to grab the eye piece with two hands with one hand to hold the eye piece and the other to turn the zoom. For me that was annoying so in the end I returned the eye piece and plan to instead look for a more refined piece rather then going for the cheaper Celestron.
Buen Buscador.
2010-01-31Un buen lente, para iniciar, te ayudara a aprender a encontrar objetos sin dificultades, aunque no tiene la mejor claridad lo recomiendo ampliamente para explorar el espacio.
Nice for my Astromaster 130
2009-09-08I bought one and it is fitting good for my Celestron 130 Astromaster. A little refocusing if move zoom in-out extremely. Image is sharp and clear, very confortable, large field of view. Personal, I like it. By the way, I saw the moons of Jupiter this year through zoom eyepiece ! I can saw also two colour bands of Jupiter, in town light polution. Jupiter scale like a pea.
Works well even on an inexpensive telescope.
2009-04-24I bought this for my modest Meade 90mm refractor, and it works very well. I find it to be about as clear as the medicore stock Meade eyepieces I own. It will not be as good as premium eyepieces though. For the price, I think this zoom eyepiece was a good buy. It takes the place of several separate eyepieces. If you using a higher end telescope, you may want to look at a higher end zoom eyepiece such as the Baader Hyperion.

Camera basics: shutter-speed, aperture and ISO
In this article, I’ll introduce you to the basic elements that you can use to control exposure in your shooting. If you have a digital SLR, there will be a way to set all of these controls on your camera, but since they differ between manufacturers and models, you’ll need to refer to your camera’s manual to find out exactly how to change them.
All cameras, whether an ancient film camera, or a more modern digital, work in pretty much the same way. Photographs are taken by letting light fall onto a light-sensitive medium, which records the image. Traditionally, this has been film, but more recently, it tends to be a digital sensor. The more light that falls onto the film or sensor, the lighter the image.
Put simply, a camera consists of a light-tight box that stores a light-sensitive device (either a film or a digital sensor), a lens that magnifies and focuses the image onto that light-sensitive device through a hole in the box (called the aperture) , and a shutter that opens ...
Audio & Video Connections Guide
" For a list of all the ways technology has failed to improve the quality of life, please press three." - Alice Kahn
This quote is certainly applicable to consumer electronics. From the very first commercially produced radios to the latest in high-definition television technology, the manner in which the components used to deliver our news, music, movies and entertainment are interconnected seems to have escaped logic. For both the newcomer and the old hand alike, connecting equipment in the most efficient and effective manner can be a painful chore. It is hoped this article will improve your background knowledge concerning potential A/V system connection schemes and where each is most appropriate. The next time you find yourself in a "connectivity quandary" perhaps the ideas shared here will help you to quickly solve the riddle of which wire goes where and why!
