Celestron Zoom Eyepiece - 8-24 mm - 1.25"

The Celestron Zoom Eyepiece - 8-24 mm - 1.25" is a versatile eyepiece designed for telescopes[1]. It offers a focal length range of 8mm to 24mm, allowing for different levels of magnification[1]. The eyepiece has a variable field of view between 40 to 60 degrees. This means that as the focal length is adjusted, the field of view will also change.

The Celestron Zoom Eyepiece - 8-24 mm - 1.25" is compatible with telescopes that accept 1.25" eyepieces. This makes it a suitable choice for a wide range of telescopes with a 1.25" focuser or diagonal.

Using a zoom eyepiece like this allows for convenient and quick adjustments to the magnification level without needing to switch between multiple eyepieces. It can be particularly useful for observing different celestial objects, including planets, the Moon, star clusters, and other deep-sky objects.

The Celestron Zoom Eyepiece - 8-24 mm - 1.25" allows you to choose from a variety of magnifications in a flash! Simply grip the rubberized barrel and turn it slowly while looking through the eyepiece, and then pick the best power for the object you are observing. Alternatively, you can use the lowest magnification (24mm) to find an object and center 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.

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.
