Celestron designed their Omni 56mm Plossl Eyepiece to produce comfortable low-power views in long focal length telescopes—perfect for viewing wide-field deep sky objects or daytime terrestrial vistas. It is engineered with a 4-element Plossl lens configuration, blackened edges, and anti-reflective fully multicoated optical surfaces to ensure bright and clear high-contrast images with true color transmission across the entire 47° field of view. The larger 2" nosepiece fits into all visual backs, holders, and accessories and allows maximum light transmission while helping to produce the exceptionally long and comfortable 52mm eye relief. Its housing is made of a lightweight and durable aluminum alloy with a reflection-limiting matte anodized finish, and a fold-down eyecup makes this eyepiece ideal for viewing over extended periods with or without eyewear. Standard threads on the front of the nosepiece allow you to use most 2" filters. Weighing almost a pound, Celestron thoughtfully put a textured non-slip rubber ring around the middle of the eyepiece for better handling when inserting and removing it from your telescope.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. How long of a cable could you put on the imager? (max distance from imager to computer)

A: The Imager comes with a 10' USB 3.0 Cable. I would say that would be the maximum, since that's what the Manufacturer includes.

Q: 2. Will the Celestron NexImage 10 Solar System Imager work with Celestron 5se?

A: It will work with the Celestron 5SE

Q: 3. How is this scope for bird watching. Should I be looking at anything else in this price range?

A: This is a great value for a premium spotting scope but due to the weight of this 100mm (even with the magnesium body), you'll probably only be using it in locations where you can take it out of your car and bird near your car, or for short hikes. You'll need pipe insulation around your tripod too for cushioning to your shoulder when carrying it. As one who works in astronomy, I recommend inexpensive Astro-Tech ED planetary eyepieces (Paradigm Dual ED), or Televue (much more expensive) as superior to the zoom eyepiece supplied. Note that Celestron does have some quality control issues, but are great at replacing defective gear.

Q: 4. How much detail can you get with a decent 8" SCT (mine's a Celestron EdgeHD)? Could I hope to make out Jupiter's red spot, for instance? (My eyepiece projection attempts with my DSLR and an 8mm eyepiece give me the main bands, but no luck making out the red spot)

A: The Celestron NexImage 10 Solar System Color Eyepiece Imager (1.25") will give you no magnification at all, your telescope's Focal Length, is all you will get.

Q: 5. will the neximage 10 work with my 114gt ?

A: Yes, its 100 % compatible.

Q: 6. Is this camera able to take still photos? Thanks

A: This is a video only device. Images are shot at a desired frame rate and with the included software, multiple frames are combined to create a properly exposed and fully detailed singular image.

Q: 7. How do you relate the magnification (in this case 16-48, as I understand it) to the specs of the Accessories Eyepieces? These are listed in mm, not magnification. Thanks

A: To calculate the magnification, simply divide the focal length of the scope (382mm) by the focal length of the eyepiece used. For example, if you used a 10mm eyepiece, you would have a magnification of 38x.

Q: 8. Would this also work for deep space objects? It's tailored for planets, moon, and solar, but how would it work for, say, the Orion nebula? Whirlpool galaxy? Other?

A: The Celestron NexImage 10 is not sensitive enough to capture deep space objects. This is why it is only recommended for solar system use.

Q: 9. Is is possible to mount a Nikon D600 or D700 on this with an adapter?

A: As I understand it, this scope can be used with any major DSLR camera. It comes with a T ring that screws right onto threads on the ocular end of the eyepiece (remove eye cup to reveal threads, but eyepiece itself stays in place). All you need in addition is a camera mount specific t adapter (available from B&H for less than $10 for my Canon EOS mount DSLRs). I assume the above Nikons are DSLRs, so just ask for the appropriate T adapter ring. The camera body can then be attached to the scope, just as you would attach any lens. Hope this helps.

Q: 10. In addition to the T-adapter ring that is included with this scope, what is needed to attach a DSLR (specifically a Nikon F-mount)?

A: All you will need is a T-Ring. The Vello T-Mount Lens to Nikon F-Mount Camera Lens Adapter will work just fine. Link: https://bhpho.to/3ihfPAj
