Description of Zoom Telescope Eyepiece - 1.25" 7-21Mm Astromania For Enhanced Astronomical Viewing

A twist of the zoom eyepiece housing changes focal length from 21mm to 7mm, providing a variety of viewing magnification powers. Excellent contrast and sharpness - making the zoom also of interest for planetary observing. Exceptionally long 16mm-to-33mm eye relief range allows eyeglass wearers to enjoy the entire view while still wearing their corrective lenses without vignetting. The Zoom eyepiece lets you change magnification power without physically changing eyepieces. Apparent field of view is 30- degree at 21mm and 43- degree at 7mm. Rubber traction ring ensures a good grip. The 1.25" barrel is threaded for filters. Actual magnification range will depend on the focal length of your telescope. It works equally well for astronomical or terrestrial viewing. Eyepiece consists of four elements which are fully coated with anti-reflection coatings for clear, high contrast views. The particularly large eye lens coupled with the long eye relief means the Zoom provides particularly good viewing comfort, the eyecup can folded down - handy for spectacle wearers. Comfortable viewing at every focal length setting - superior to most fixed focal length eyepieces, especially at the shorter focal length settings, precise and stepless adjustment from 7mm to 21mm. A nice value in a quality zoom eyepiece!

Clear as long as you don't zoom in very far

So it zooms in, but once you zoom, you can't focus on anything it's not worth zooming in. I know the decent optics are much more expensive and I thought I'd give this a try since it had some good reviews. So I guess it just depends how good a unit you end up with.

Know what you’re getting.

Field of view too narrow for these aging eyes. Well built but not for me. Probably ok for the moon and maybe Saturn and Jupiter. I kept loosing mars with the slightest movement.

Pros
  • No comment
Cons
  • Compatibility issues

Very cool and high-quality eyepiece. Exceeded all expectations. Yesterday they gave the sky, jupiter and saturn, the dumbbell and the ring were able to see even in a cloudy atmosphere and the presence of an almost full moon. Ideal as a replacement for a set of eyepieces from 8 to 20. At 24 noticeably reduced the angle of the field of view, but on the moon it does not interfere.Has a convenient opportunity to smoothly change the focal length (i.e. Increase) by rotating the rubberized ring on the
