Telscope eye piece

posted by priest3 on Jan 01, 2008


I am looking for an eye piece for an inexpensive Vivitar telescope, probably a very basic model, which doesn't appear to have a model name or number on it. Daught brought it home from a friend but it didn't have the eye piece(s). Do you know how and where I can get them?

Eyepieces are for the most part interchangeable. Your scope will have a focuser on it in one of 3 diameters. 2", 1.25", and the rare .965". Most inexpensive scope will use a 1.25" eyepiece. 2" focusers are usually found on more expensive scopes used for astrophotography due to the increased field of view with the larger diameter. Plossl eyepieces are fairly inexpensive and are good for all around use. I would suggest getting 2 one at 25mm or greater and one around 9mm. http://www.telescopes.com has a large selection however their are many suppliers out there. Good luck and happy star hopping
