Product Description
Product Description
The versatile Celestron 8-24mm Zoom Eyepiece is a premium, fully multi-coated 1.25" eyepiece that allows you to dial in the power you want. The 8-24 Zoom Eyepiece is easy to adjust to four different focal lengths, each providing a different magnification level—8mm, 12mm, 18mm, and 24mm. Simply grip the rubberized barrel and turn it slowly as you look through the eyepiece. Start with the lowest magnification (24mm) to locate objects quickly and center them in your telescope’s field of view. Then increase the power for an up-close look. Zoom eyepieces save you money and time by allowing you to examine objects at various magnifications without purchasing and swapping out multiple eyepieces. The folding eyecup is great for observing with or without glasses. The field of view (40 - 60°) works well for land-based viewing as well as studying the Moon, planets, and deep-sky objects.

The zoom is magnificent. Saturn was stunning at mid-high power (the highest power in my scope is over 250x, which is not going to look good in anyone's scope without good seeing), and the view is crystal clear at lower power. I was able to spot at least five moons around Saturn from the light polluted skies of Pasadena, CA where hardly any stars are visible. Higher power dims the image, but I did not notice any strange optical peculiarities. I'm sure there are some, but for me this eyepiece is a dream come true.
I was even able to view the ring nebula from my front yard, and with medium power I was able to discern the two protrusions from the edges, a big step up over the meager 80x offered by the standard eyepiece. The ability to zoom on the fly makes keeping the target in the field of view incredibly easy.
The piece is quite heavy because of the extra complexity, but doesn't feel overly bulky. The zoom is controlled by twisting the textured part of the outside, which others have reviewed to be rather stiff and difficult to turn. I can't join that chorus, as i have no problem zooming out so long as I grip the smooth base and twist the textured sides. The action is smooth and holds firm.
Basically, this thing is amazing. I would pay twice as much for this and still feel like it was a bargain.

The zoom feature is great, but image quality deteriorates rapidly at higher magnifications. Still, it is convenient to have the zoom feature, where you don't have to change eyepieces and re-focus while holding the telescope steady in the meantime. The build quality is excellent, although a bit on the expensive side. Recommended, if you have the right eyepiece adaptor (or scope).
