Telescope eyepieces come in a range of sizes, from 4mm to 50mm, with the larger eyepieces being ideal for deep-sky observations and stargazing. While eyepieces come in different shapes and sizes, they all share one thing in common: They attach to your telescope, allowing you to view celestial objects.

Telescope eyepieces attach to your telescope, which can range from a handheld telescope to a larger Dobsonian telescope, and allow you to view celestial objects. Telescope eyepieces come in a range of sizes, from 4mm to 50mm, with the larger eyepieces being ideal for deep-sky observations and stargazing.

While eyepieces come in different shapes and sizes, they all share one thing in common: They attach to your telescope, allowing you to view celestial objects.

Telescope eyepieces come in three types: standard, premium and apochromatic. Standard eyepieces, such as 4mm and 6mm, are the cheapest and most common eyepieces, while premium and apochromatic eyepieces, such as 10mm and 25mm, are more expensive and ideal for viewing objects such as the moon and planets.

The Gosky Astronomical 1.25-inch Variable Telescope Camera Adapter for Prime Focus and Eyepiece Projection Astro Photography is the best value we got for this guide, and it's the only one we tested that works well for prime focus photography. The 1.25-inch eyepiece projection lens requires an eyepiece (not included) and it's a little difficult to use, but it's by far the sexiest and most creative way to capture the night sky, and it's ideal for use with a telescope. The Prime focus adapter works just as advertised, and it's perfect for capturing long exposure astrophotography. The adapter requires T-rings that fit your particular brand of camera, so you'll have to buy those separately if you want to capture long exposure astrophotography. The adapter is made of all-metal construction, and both adapters have metal threads. The adapter has smaller threads than the eyepiece lens, so you'll need to use a T-ring to connect the adapter to the camera. The Gosky telescope adapter is affordable, compact, and lightweight, and it's a great option for getting creative with prime focus and eyepiece projection photography.

The Gosky 1.25 Variable Telescope Camera Adapter for Prime Focus and Eyepiece Projection Astro Photography is a good choice if you're looking to use your camera as an astrophotography camera. As you might expect, the camera adapter is large and bulky, and without the right accessories, you'll have a hard time attaching it to any camera. However, the adapter does have a solid metal build, and it feels pretty solid. The adapter comes with a T-ring, a T adapter, and an eyepiece, so it's very easy to get started. The adapter also doesn't come with any accessories, so you'll need to buy those separately. However, the adapter isn't cheap, and it's more expensive than some other adapters, so you'll want to do your research. Also, the adapter is not compatible with all cameras, so be sure to do your research before buying the adapter.

Gosky 1.25 Inch 2X Fully Blackened Metal Barlow Lens and Camera T Adapter for Telescopes Eyepiece - Accept 1.25inch Filters-Also Can Be Used for Astronomical Photography - Coated

Gosky 1.25 Inch 2X Fully Blackened Metal Barlow and Lens Camera T Adapter for Telescopes Eyepiece

by Everest

The body is full black metal constructed and precisely CNC-machined. Includes both end caps to protect against dust. This Barlow comes with a steel screw to securely hold your eyepieces Works great for the price.

The GoSky 1.25-inch Barlow Lens and Camera Adapter for Telescopes is an inexpensive way to increase the power of your telescope. The lens is coated on both sides and the lens barrel has a black anodized finish, so it's fairly durable. The adapter accepts 1.25-inch filters, and the lens itself accepts either 1.25-inch eyepieces or 1.25-inch camera lenses, so you can use it with both. The adapter can also be used with a digital camera, which, if your camera uses a 1.25-inch eyepiece, will allow you to take clear, bright photos at night. The adapter has no problem attaching to telescopes with 1.25-inch focusers. The lens itself has dual purpose; it can be used with a telescope for stargazing, or as a Barlow lens, which doubles the power of any 1.25-inch telescope eyepiece.

Astromania 1.25

Astromania 1.25" Camera Extendable Adapter

by Astromania

This easy to use 1.25" Variable Universal Camera Adapter is designed to attach both camera body and telescope together. Compatible for both reflector and refractor telescopes with 1.25" eyepiece holders. Dual design allows the user to make slight magnification adjustments without having to change telescope eyepieces.

This adapter allows you to project images of the moon and planets (with eyepiece projection) or take photos using the camera connected to it. The two parts are connected by a threaded 1.25-inch thread, so you can mount the adapter on telescopes with 1.25-inch eyepieces or any other telescope with a 1.25-inch thread. The focal length of the adapter is adjustable so you can aim it at the object that you want to take photos of, and the lens has a 1.25-inch thread so it can accept filters. The lens is plastic, so it's less durable than anodized aluminum, but it's lighter than metal, and it's less prone to reflect light. The projection adapter uses standard Plossl and Kellner 1.25-inch eyepieces, so you'll have to be willing to invest in them if you want to use this adapter. The projection adapter works best with objects that are at the limit of your telescope's zoom, so it's most useful for lunar or planetary photography, but if you want to take photos of distant galaxies, you'll be better off with a telescope with a longer and wider lens. A T2 ring is not included, so you'll have to buy one separately. The focal adapter works only if you attach the camera to it without the use of an eyepiece, so it isn't useful for lunar and planetary photography.

by Serounder

- This adapter is mainly used for direct focus photography with SLR cameras

The 2-inch to M48*0.75 adapter ring is a very useful accessory for astronomical photography. It lets you use telescopes with a 2-inch focuser (such as our top pick, the Celestron NexStar 7 SE) with M48*0.75 lens eyepieces. With the adapter ring, you can insert the M48*0.75 lens into the telescope's focuser, making the telescope compatible with most lens eyepieces on the market. The 2-inch to M48*0.75 adapter ring is compatible with most Celestron, Sky-Watcher, and Vixen telescopes, as well as many other brands. The adapter ring's interior is fully threaded, so it minimizes reflections. The female thread at the adapter's rear end fits filters (such as our top pick, the Baader these categories uv, infrared, neutral density, and colored filters.) The 2-inch to M48*0.75 adapter ring comes with a T-ring, so you can also use it to mount M42 lenses on camera. The T-ring is sold separately. The adapter ring's male thread is 1 inch in diameter, and 1.5 inches long.

The extension tube itself is well-made, and the lens is tight. It comes with a 1-year warranty. But there are a few drawbacks. First, the adapter is not compatible with Nikon's full-frame mirrorless cameras. Second, the adapter doesn't extend as far as the 1.25-inch extension of some other adapters, which means you have to be careful when you mount the adapter to your camera, as the lens might hit the front of your camera. And third, the adapter isn't compatible with Nikon's DSLR cameras without 1.25-inch eyepieces.

SVBONY SV112 Telescope Camera Adapter Kit for Canon EOS Rebel SLR DSLR Prime Focus and 1.25 inches Variable Projection Eyepiece Astrophotography

SVBONY SV112 Telescope Camera Adapter Kit for Canon EOS Rebel DSLR SLR Prime Focus and 1.25 inches Variable Projection Eyepiece Astrophotography

by SVBONY

The camera adapter kit for prime focus;in this imaging method the camera is connected directly to the telescope and placed at the "prime" focus of the telescope;the telescope becomes the camera lens. no eyepiece is used in this method;this method provides the widest possible field of view, the shortest possible exposure time and moderate magnification;typically used for imaging nebulae; galaxies and other large (but dim) deep sky objects

The SV112 is a handy little adapter for prime focus photography, and it works with pretty much every camera lens (including telephotos). The eyepiece projection method offers magnification that's similar to using a telescope, but you don't need a scope to take advantage of the adapter. The eyepiece projection method is also great for beginners who are just getting their feet wet with astrophotography, as it's much easier to get sharp shots than using a camera's live-view function. The magnification of the projection method also lets you more easily frame your shots, and it's a great way to capture panoramas that would be impossible using a camera's live-view function. The adapter's design is simple, so it's easy to use, and it has an eyepiece guard to prevent dew from ruining your shots. The adapter's variable projection feature lets you adjust the projection distance (and thus the image size) for perfect framing of your shots. The eyepiece projection method also has a few benefits over traditional prime focus photography. For one thing, the adapter eliminates camera shake, so your images will be sharper. For another, the projection method makes it easy to take multiple shots quickly, as you don't need a slider or tripod. The projection method also lets you quickly and easily level your camera while you frame your shot, and it's easy enough to level a shot using the projection method that you don't need a leveling scope, either. The SV112 works well, and it's versatile enough to work with just about every lens, and it's reasonably priced, too.
