Celestron Zoom Eyepiece 8-24mm for 1.25″ Telescopes

Description

Product Overview

The Celestron 8‑24mm Zoom Eyepiece is engineered for versatile astronomical observation. Housed in a durable 1.25″ barrel, it features fully multi‑coated optics that boost light transmission and reduce glare, ensuring vivid, high‑contrast views across the entire zoom range. With a compact footprint of 4 x 1 x 1 inches and a weight of 12.7 ounces, it balances portability with robust construction. The eyepiece operates on a single non‑standard battery, providing smooth focus adjustment from 8mm (wide field) to 24mm (high power) without the need for multiple fixed‑focal eyepieces.
