    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 Celestron 93230 8 to 24 millimeters 1.25 inch zoom eyepiece allows you to zoom instantly with your scope from 8x magnification to 24x magnification.

    Customers like the zoom of the telescope.

    36 customers mention16 positive20 negative

    Customers are mixed about the portability of the telescope. Some mention that it's easy to carry one eyepiece than a bunch of eyepieces, and it doesn't feel overly bulky.

    36 customers mention0 positive36 negative

    Customers are dissatisfied with the image quality of the telescope. They mention that the image is noticeably dimmer, blurry, and darker.

The blurriness happens at every setting, and there's a nonlinear reduction in brightness and contrast. Customers also mention that they could not get crisp images with the 6mm gold line.

    "...The 7-21 fov felt significantly smaller and I could not get crisp images with the 6mm gold line...." Read more

    "Amazing budget zoom. Not super bright and sharp but visually significant difference between Plossl 18 super Plossl LP 26 eyepiece...." Read more

    "...The focus changed and the view went distorted. No visible broken glass, but, something went loose (I can hear it when I shake the EP!)..." Read more

    "...Try to take a picture of Saturn but it was too blurry but with this lens we could see it just didn’t have a good camera when they tell you that this..." Read more

    This is a fantastic eyepiece
    5 Stars
    This is a fantastic eyepiece
    I got this eyepiece as well as the 7-21 and 6mm gold line svbony pieces. This one was significantly better than the others. The 7-21 fov felt significantly smaller and I could not get crisp images with the 6mm gold line. I've returned both others and kept the Celestron zoom lens and honestly find it to be fantastic. Photo above taken through the lens with my phone.
