Thanks for the practical down-to-earth explanation for us new guys.

Almost the Bob Ross of telescopes. Very informative and calm. The right amount of information at the right pace.

Very well done. Just as a side note, I use a 55mm-2” eyepiece for a very wide field of view. A similar wide field can be obtained from a 40mm-1 1/4” eyepiece. Wide fields mean any planets will look small with very little detail, but extended objects like galaxies and wide nebulae will fill your field of view in dark skies. My choices for focal length are 55mm, 40mm, 24mm, and 16mm.

Great video, helped me with exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.

Thx for the explanation, finally a vid where I gain some understanding about my bresser reflection telescopes eyepieces :)

Thanks a lot. It rarely happen people get to the point in an easy to understand way. This is the quality we are looking for :)

Thank You Allan. After many tries I found a simple video that explain the different types of eyepieces in a very informative and interesting way .

Amazing explanation Allan. I've just got my first telescope and had no idea what a barlow/eyepiece was. Thanks man!

You answered my question in the first 90 seconds! Then answered some I didn't even think of. Thanks for posting!

This is probably the most informative and complete video on KZfaq that I have ever seen. Kudos to you!

Very informative, thanks! I’m new to astronomy and guides like this are just what I need 👍

Very informative and very well explained. Thank you Mr Hall!

i know this video is older, but THANK YOU for the simple to follow explanation!

Thanks Alan, just what I needed to hear! Hope all is well.

This video was really straightforward and helpful. Just picked up my first real telescope today and got good info here. Thanks!

Fantastic advice. Brilliant delivery from Allan too. You're a natural!!

Thank you Allan.. Your guidance on eye piece selection is precious..

Fantastic video! Thanks Allen. I thought you broke it down really well. Nice explanations, and you answered a lot of questions didn't know I had.

This is outstanding!!! My father ground his own mirrors & fabricated all of his telescopes, which I used as a kid. I grew up loving to look at the stars. But now, I only have a small Meade scope, with eyepieces that I got from a friend. I had no idea how use those - now I do! Thanks greatly for your video!!

Cheers mate, after watching so many vids etc..on eye pieces i was totally confused as a newbie, your video answered all my questions and now i will go and get the correct eye pieces, once again thanks for the insightful vid!

Wow this is great! Thank you!

i agree with Joilly. Thank you for packing so much golden info into a concise lesson

Great video with lots of needed info for me. Im waiting for my first telescope to come and i was nervous about wasting time or money not knowing much about the lenses and centering the mirrors as im told ill need to do on occasion. Thanks for taking the time to explain things so clearly!

Thank you. Very clear audio and concise explanations! Much appreciated.

Great channel, very well explained. Basically, I’d go for a 15 mm and a 24 mm high end eyepieces + a high end barlow x2 and that’s quite enough for > 90% my needs

I have saved this video to watch again later. I have just bought a 12" Dob GoTo as my first Telescope, so the infor you have given here is gold. yes it came with two eyepieces as you say. I was thinking about what I would grauate to later on and what to avoid doing. but how is that mate, people are still watching your video from three years ago! cool stuff. cheers!! clear skies!

Excellent advice and well explained basics of telescope eyepieces. I myself have a 30mm, 17mm, 12mm and a tele-extender. These handle cover everything. Nice job with the video.

Gold. Thank you! Great advice for me. Can’t wait to upgrade my 25 and 10mm plossls that came with the scope.

Thank you Alan. Answered my questions, and educated me on lenses and my telescopes.

Excellent, informative and well presented video Allan. :)) I have a Nexstar 130 telescope, and as a complete novice it has taken me 3 nights just to get the skyalign correct (I am based in the UK). I did not realise till today that I can increase the magnification of each eye piece, to further increase the accuracy of my sky align (I used a 25mm eye piece last night). Looking forward to doing this tonight, we are 29 degrees in the uk today with clear sky’s and zero wind. :))

Thank you for your advice. Very simple and easy to un derstand for a beginner and daughter.

Thank , thank you , I cannot thank you enough for clearing and answering my questions so freely.

RIGHT ON TIME! I wear glasses and you helped me understand what I need to purchase.

I like my wide-field eyepieces the best, too. Thanks for the post.

Jims with Legendary Auras Thanks for the video, Mr. Dad.

I have been looking for comparisons on 1.25 vs 2 inch eyepieces. Yours is the best. Thanks! 👍

Thank you Allan. Very straightfoward and helpful.

Thanks for the great video. This information is exactly what I have been searching for!

Useful information for me, thank you for making your video!

Very good info, exactly what I was looking for. And you make it so easy to understand. Thank you

My goodness!!! What a wonderful video!!! It answered all of my questions. Thank you so much!!!

Thank you for the info. I just picked up my second telescope. I am learning a lot but I really need to be able to explain this to my daughter's

Super helpful for a Week 1 telescope owner!

Thanks for all the useful, helpful information on eyepieces!

Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you

Nice break down Allan - much appreciated

Great presentation on eyepieces. You're a natural and should produce more videos. Thanks.

great video Allan, really helped me understand what can be a bit of a mindfield

Found this super helpful, i didnt know anything about the sizes. Thankyou :)

Loved your video. Exactly what I was looking for.

thank you for your video, im not getting into this whole telescope stuff, since I got one as a gift for Christmas

Great video. I’ve watched a few today and this one was my favorite. 👏

Thank you for the video.. It helps me alot. This is what i exactly needed. Simple and clear explanation

thanks so much for the information...it was easy to understand and now I know what i need for my new scope.

Thank you sir for giving us briefcase on cost saving by using right c eyepieces.

Thanks for the video, this helped me out a lot

Great Video and thanks for the advice

Thanks for the down-to-earth explanation! :)

thank you for these educational videos, good mix of learning and recomendations.

Thanks finally got the answers I needed with eyepieces

Excellent tuition... Very much appreciated.

This 1 video answered all of my beginner questions. Thank your very much :-)

Proper, practical advice. Thanks 👍

Very helpful presentation. Thank you!

Thank you for this video. I needed some basics for picking out eye pieces for a new Celestron 6Se. I just wanted someone to tell me what they low, mid, and high tiers were so I could make a semi informed decision.

Nice easy to listen and understand. I've got a celestrion 130eq coming today £219 not my first telescope yet 1st to have motor mount also have a newtonian scope.. have never researched eye pieces, now I'm interested in the 2inch.. I think I've waited long enough for an upgrade...

Great video . My 4 year old has taken a keen interest in telescopes an I got him his first one the other week but it's something I know very little about so your video has helped us out a lot...👍👍👍

Great video!! Thanks for all the information!

Thank you so much! Man is this a world of stuff to look into :)

A really helpful video, thank you for sharing.

Very nicely explained, this is a very informative video and your advice made an awful lot of sense to me, thank you.

Thanks a lot. Its really helpful for my decision.

Awesome info...Thank you very much for taking the time.....

Wonderful explanation. Thanks uncle...

New to the hobby thanks for the great information

Beautiful back yard! My scope cane with a 25mm and a 6mm (both pretty low quality optics IMO). I can get the 6mm to focus on the moon, even woth a 2x barlow but that's about it.. I almost always use the 25, amd throw on a 2x barlow pretty regularly also... The zoom is so extreme at that level, it's hard to even keep objects in the field of view, you'll be chasing them the whole time... it's kinda fun for a second but not relaxing or very enjoyable for long... I also always wear my 3x or3.5x reading glasses, but can't with the 6mm due to eye relief... theyre no issue with the 25mm.. I think I'm gonna buy a 10 or 12mm and a 30+ mm and another 2.5x barlow to upgrade/supplement the cheapo starter stuff that came with the scope.

Top video, I learned a lot! Thank you!!

Excellent video, very informative and very detailed tips - thank you 🌠 🔭

Very helpful video! Thank you!

Just the info I needed, thanks!

Thank you! This was really useful.

Thank you Mr. Hall

This is a GREAT video! Comprehensive & concise, this covered all the questions I had! :D I have an old Meade 4500 that I got when I was a kid & honestly I think I was too little at the time to appreciate & understand what a complex device I had been gifted. I still had fun with it, & saw some cool things, but it was a bit confusing for 10yr old me. Luckily, I'm older now & still have it (and it still works great!) so now I'm having fun learning about it all over again! Now I can go out, well informed, & buy my first set of eyepieces! Thank you so much!!

Thanks for explaining.

Great informations ! Thank you

The thing that took me the longest to understand is the relationship between focal length and field of view.. can make 2 very different focal length eye pieces seem very similar. If an eye piece with a less focal length has also a less fov, it will be similar in appearance to the longer focal length with wider fov.. This is where preference comes in.. I very quickly decided, the long focal length with the wide fov is way freakin better. It's immersive. It pulls your perception into the sky, it makes you feel like you aren't looking in a telescope, you're looking out a spaceship window. So those are the 2 biggest things to consider in my mind.. You have to consider a 3rd if you are sharing the telescope with a 4 eyed person or if you plan on showing the sky to strangers or family.. You need an eyepiece or 2 with decent eye relief. This means the eye can travel a distance from the lens and the image is still apparent. 20mm or more is ideal.

Perfect video, great work.

A very nice video, Thank you for reaching us ..
