Which eyepiece is best for viewing planets Celestron?
Best eyepiece for viewing Saturn
| Telescope | Aperture | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| Orion Observer | 70mm | 7-21mm Continuous Zoom Eyepiece |
| Celestron Astromaster 114EQ | 114mm | Orion 8920 6mm |
| Celestron Nexstar 6SE | 152mm | Orion 8883 Planetary Edge-On Eyepiece |
| Celestron 11″ Schmidt-Cassegrain | 279mm | Televue DeLite 7mm |
What can I see with NexStar 4SE?
Computerized Telescope: The NexStar 4SE is equipped with a GoTo Mount and the SkyAlign software and a massive database, allowing you to easily find over 40,000 celestial objects, including planets, stars, clusters, galaxies, and nebulae.
What is the best size eyepiece for planets?
The focal length of the telescope is 900mm, so to achieve the maximum useful magnification, then a 4.5mm eyepiece would be ideal. One of the best parts about planetary viewing or imaging is that since the objects are so bright, you can do it just about anywhere regardless of light pollution.
What can you see with a 25mm telescope eyepiece?
25mm – 30.9mm Telescope Eyepieces: These are extended field eyepieces for longer focal length – good for large nebula and open clusters. For shorter focal length, they are fantastic for large objects such as the Orion nebula, views of the full lunar disc, large open clusters and more.
Which telescope lens is stronger 10mm or 20mm?
The larger one is normally between 20mm and 25mm and is the lower power (lowest magnification). The smaller (higher magnification) is normally around 10mm. A larger image to start with will allow the eyepiece to produce a larger image to view (higher magnification).
What can you see with a 4mm eyepiece?
With a 4mm, 10mm, and 24mm eyepiece, you get magnifications of 50x, 120x, and 300x, a good range of magnifications for this instrument. If you add in a good 2x Barlow with these eyepieces you get 50x, 100x, 120x, 240x, and 300x.
Is the NexStar 4SE worth it?
Overall Verdict. The NexStar 4SE is a wonderful ‘grab and go’ telescope. It is lightweight, easy to set up, and simple to use. The optics are high quality but the smaller aperture and slow focal length mean it performs best for bright objects like the planets, moon and double stars.
What is the aperture of NexStar 4SE?
102mm

How do I choose a telescope eyepiece?
Usually, you’ll want to start with low power (i.e., long eyepiece focal length, such as 25 mm or 30 mm) to get the object in the field of view of the telescope. Then you might want to try a slightly higher-power (shorter focal length, maybe 18 mm or 15 mm) eyepiece and see if the view looks any better.
Is a 20mm eyepiece good?
A 20 mm is useful just as a 13 mm is useful in most any telescope but I’m not sure “all purpose” is a good description. My telescopes range in focal length from under 400 mm to about 2800mm, a 20mm is not a planetary or high power or even mid-power eyepiece in any of them, it’s a low to mid power deep sky eyepiece.
Which eyepiece is best for viewing stars?
Plössl eyepieces are excellent for general use although their eye relief will diminish as the eyepiece’s focal length reduces. This design is most suitable for observing nebulae and star clusters. A 15mm and 25mm Plössl eyepiece would be good additions to your current line-up.
