Inserting An Eyepiece
Magnification, or power is based on eyepiece focal length. The higher power will present a larger, dimmer
image, with smaller field of view. The lower the power, the brighter and smaller the image will be, with a
wider field of view.
STEP 1:
EclipseView60 Models: Slide the MA 26mm eye-
piece into diagonal prism.
EclipseView76 Models: Slide the MA 26mm eye-
piece directly into the focuser drawtube.
STEP 2: Tighten the eyepiece holder
thumbscrews to hold the eyepiece securely.
When locating objects it is always best to start with the lower power (26mm) eyepiece. The 26mm has a wide
viewing field that will allow objects to be more easily found. Once located and centered, you can switch to a
higher power eyepiece such as a 9mm to increase the viewing power. The higher power will present a larger,
dimmer image, with smaller field of view.
