Terrestrial .96" Erecting Eyepiece – #93216

This 1.5x eyepiece can be used on any telescope with a .96" focuser to achieve an image correctly oriented from top to bottom (rather than upside-down, as most eyepieces display an image). Especially useful for daytime terrestrial observing.

11/4" models

Super Modified Achromatic (SMA)

Eyepieces: .96" and 11/4"

The SMA design is an improved version of the Kellner eyepiece. SMAs are very good, economical, general purpose eyepieces that deliver a wide apparent field, good color correction and an excellent image at the center of the field of view. The eyepieces are fully coated for maximum contrast. Celestron offers a range of SMA eyepieces in both .96" and 11/4" sizes.

Plössl Eyepieces: .96" and 11/4"

Ultima® Eyepieces: 11/4"

These are Celestron’s top of the line eyepieces, utilizing a hybrid design of five elements. They feature long eye relief and a wide field, and each air-to-glass surface is fully multicoated to enhance contrast levels. These special eyepieces are computer designed to keep visual aberrations to an absolute minimum. They virtually eliminate the following aberrations: spherical, color,

field curvature, coma, astigmatism, distortion and spherical distortion of the exit pupil. The inside surfaces and edges of all lenses are blackened, to keep out reflected light. Outside surfaces are flat black, with rubber grips for secure handling. Rubber eyecups are included both for comfortable use and to keep out extraneous light. Threaded barrels accept Celestron thread-in filters. Lens and barrel caps are included for safe storage.

BARLOW LENSES

Barlow lenses offer an easy, economical way to increase the magnification range of your eyepieces, and Celestron carries an assortment of these highly useful lenses. A Barlow lens doubles the magnifying power of your eyepiece by doubling its effective focal length. For example, an 18mm eyepiece used with a 2x Barlow lens would have the magnifying power of a 9mm eyepiece. It’s like having two eyepieces in one!

If you’re looking for an affordable way to achieve high-power viewing of the moon and planets, double stars and even close-up views of terrestrial subjects, a Barlow lens is the answer.

Top: #93506, 93502, #93507

Bottom: #93213, #93211

Barlow lenses mount into either your telescope’s focuser or visual back.

The Economy models of .96" and 11/4" are good choices when you want to expand your power ranges at a very economical price.

Celestron’s premium quality .96" and 11/4" achromatic Barlow lenses (#93502 and #93507) are compact and lightweight. Both are under three inches long, with the 11/4" lens weighing in at 4 ounces and the .96" lens a mere 2 ounces! The clear aperture is 27mm on the 11/4" model, and 21mm on the .96" unit.

The .96" Barlow is fully multicoated and the 11/4" lens is multicoated.

The Ultima® Series Barlow (2x – 11/4") is an air-spaced, three element apochromatic design with a 27mm clear aperture. This lens features a very high quality, fully multicoated design. Amazingly compact and lightweight, it’s just 5 ounces and 2.75" in length.

DIAGONALS

Diagonals: .96" and 11/4"

Celestron’s Erect Image Diagonals are an Amici prism design. This design allows you to look into the telescope at a 45° angle, at images that are oriented properly, meaning the image is upright and correct from left to right. Use of Celestron’s .96" to 11/4" 45° Erect Image Diagonal on a telescope equipped with .96" eyepieces means greater versatility. This diagonal will allow you to use 11/4" eyepieces, to obtain a larger field of view and better eye relief. A 90° 11/4" Erect Image Diagonal is available for those who prefer that angle.

A Star Diagonal lets you view objects that are at a 90° angle from the direction the telescope is pointing, thereby allowing comfortable viewing when the telescope is pointed at, or near, the zenith (i.e. directly overhead). The resulting image is right side up, but will be reversed from left to right.

The economy Hybrid Mirror Diagonal (90°) provides a cost effective way to upgrade telescopes supplied with .96" eyepieces, to higher quality 11/4" eyepieces.
