Yes, you can see the moon with a 10mm lens. In fact, you can see the moon with any lens, but the 10mm lens will give you the biggest field of view.
There are many factors that affect the quality of an image seen through a telescope, and the eyepiece is one of them. A good eyepiece can make a big difference in the clarity and sharpness of the image, as well as the overall contrast. In general, a higher quality eyepiece will provide a better image. However, it is important to keep in mind that the eyepiece is just one part of the equation, and the quality of the telescope itself is also a major factor.
Assuming you would like an answer to the question in the title: The answer to this question depends on a few things- how dark your sky is, how much light pollution is present, and how large of an object you want to be able to see. In general, you will need at least a four-inch telescope to be able to see Pluto. However, if you want to be able to see Pluto's largest moon, Charon, you will need a telescope that is at least eight inches in size.
There are many factors to consider when choosing an eyepiece. The first is the size of your telescope's aperture. The second is the focal length of your telescope. The third is the eyepiece's field of view. The fourth is the eyepiece's eye relief. The fifth is the eyepiece's coatings. The sixth is the eyepiece's weight. The size of your telescope's aperture will determine the amount of light that the eyepiece can gather. The focal length of your telescope will determine the eyepiece's magnification. The ey

Great replacement for the eyepiece - affordable, lot of bang for the buck. I'm using this with a Celestron Nexstar 6SEIf you're reading this review and trying to decide on this eyepiece then, you're probably, like me, a bit of a newbie in learning about this, so here's what my experience was like with this. The telescope tube (optical tube assembly, or OTA) collects light from the sky and creates an image that you can explore with the eyepiece. The magnification of what you're seeing in the sky is easy to calculate by taking OTA length / eyepiece length.My 6SE (1500mm focal length) came with a standard 25mm eyepiece, so 1500/25mm = 60x magnification. This zoom eyepiece starts at 24mm, which is nearly identical magnification (62x) and zooms to 8mm, or 187x (3x greater magnification) (3x greater magnification). But you're just doing an optical enlargement of a section of the image that was created by the OTA, so the image you'll then observe *is* larger, but it will also appear a lot darker, you'll start to quickly realize that you don't have suitable optics to easily focus and get a nice crisp image, and I find I start to notice the slight vibration that I introduce to the telescope when my head touches the eyepiece.I sometimes use this zoom eyepiece with the similarly priced Celestron Barlow extender and I like that combination and am able to explore more, but it's just thinking through what this can and can't do. I've included two pictures simply taken with my phone peeping through the eyepiece looking at Jupiter at 24mm (zoomed out) and 8mm (zoomed in) to give a sense of the magnification. This doesn't give any sense of the image quality or crispness.

Because it includes a range of stuff for my spaceprobe ST130, I like this set. The Barlow 2X is good at bringing the planets into view at a better magnification, and all the lenses function properly. Almost every night, I've been using it, though not when there are clouds, lol. I adore the range, but I especially adore seeing Jupiter and Saturn's rings. The filters improve object swing and help with brightness. I am eagerly awaiting the moon's visibility and the approach of Mars since I am confident that these lenses will provide me with an excellent view.

The Reducer/Corrector is f/6.3 for C5, C6, C8, C9¼ and C11 telescopes and f/7 for the C14 telescope
This clever accessory makes it possible to have a dual focal ratio instrument, without sacrificing image quality
This combination focal reducer and field corrector lens accessory works with all Celestron 5", 6", 8", 9 1/4", 11" and 14" Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes

My primary reason for purchasing this was so that I could use my Celestron 8 to fit the sun (and moon) within the field of view of my APS-C (24 x 16 mm) camera sensor "SCT (2000 mm FL). It is not possible to use a full frame sensor since the C8 will vignette. For astrophotography of deep space objects, this gadget also enables a somewhat broader field of view and lower f-number.For those who want to photograph the eclipse or the moon alone, here are some helpful reference numbers: An APS-C camera's maximum lens length is approximately 1260 mm. 1900 when utilizing a full frame. However, only if you can maintain the target centered. (To capture the eclipse's peak, use a 400mm APS-C or 600mm Full Frame lens with no sun filter.)Except for the sun and moon, this instrument is useless for solar system astronomy, as well as for eyepiece projection photography. However, you can always remove it.The fact that you get roughly the same performance out of this device as you would from an Edge HD telescope while paying only half as much for the field flattener is a major benefit. Purchasing an Edge HD 8 "With OTA, you get a built-in field flattener but still have a smaller field of vision and a slower f-number due to the longer focal length. You would need to spend another $300 on a focal length reducer if you wanted to capture the entire sun, moon, or more of the Pleiades in a photograph. Since the Edge HD costs $400 more than the SCT, you must spend an additional $700 to obtain the identical optical configuration as the SCT, plus this $150 accessory. Choose this and the SCT and you will save $550. There will also be less glass between you and the stars.You shouldn't have any trouble hanging a DSLR (or better yet, a mirrorless camera) off of this because of the construction's solidity.

This eyepiece is excellent for the price. Expecting a 60–80 degree FOV eyepiece to provide you with expansive views is unrealistic. Due to the 40mm eyepiece's low magnification, you will see a fairly bright image in comparison to your other eyepieces. Since I use an 8" SCT with a 2030mm focal length, even large eyepieces provide high magnifications. The 40mm produces a lower magnification than my 25mm, making it more enjoyable to observe deep sky objects (well, instead of faint blobs, they become brighter blobs :-P). But I should mention that a 1.25" eyepiece would probably find 40mm to be excessively wide. Eventually, you get to view a tiny bit of the eyepiece tube's sidewalls. According to what I've read, a 1.25" eyepiece should only be used for objects up to 32mm in diameter; anything larger should be used with a 2" eyepiece. However, if your only objective is to have a very cheap, low power eyepiece (without using a focus reducer) and you're good with seeing some of the side of the tube, this eyepiece is a deal.

On my Powerseeker 114eq with 900mm fl, I experimented with the 5mm. Even while the little 4mm lens that came with it had a same field of view (FoV) and a 200x magnification, the eye relief on this lens is far better, making it much more comfortable to wear. I'm starting to utilize skyglow and UHC filters as well as having a mars filter on backorder because it is also brighter and has clearer details.The poor tripod and equatorial mount of this EP, combined with its weight, caused my most issue when converting between an Omni series and a 5mm X-cel LX. Since it weighs around the same as the Omni 8-24mm zoom EP, I had to rebalance the scope for these two EPs. With this much magnification, the focuser is also quite sensitive, and it was extended farther than with the Omni. At 200x, you also need the tracking motor to avoid shaking the dials every 30 seconds.It appeals to me, so from now on it will be my "planetary" EP. Cost-wise, it's difficult to determine whether it's worthwhile. It is even for a $100 114mm scope, as I do anticipate using it more frequently with the scope. The decision to upgrade my scopes will undoubtedly be worthwhile.I should note that the highest limit for this size scope is 200x and that clear skies are necessary. In less-than-ideal circumstances, the following size down at 7mm (about 130x), could be preferable.

For this many eyepieces and filters, this pricing is incredible. These Plossl (4 elements) eyepieces are of the highest caliber. Almost all of the filters available are all you will ever require. I purchased this set because I haven't used my telescope in a long and managed to misplace the eyepieces. It was fortunate because these eyepieces are of higher quality than the ones I initially had.Five Plossl eyepieces plus a Barlow would cost approximately $240.00 if purchased separately. Plossl eyepieces are typically $40.00 each, and the Barlow is similarly priced. The cost of filters varies greatly according on quality. I found a set of six filters from Orion for $120.00 to be the least expensive. Don't forget to include the $50 or so cushioned case to go to $410.00. The stated assertion that the value of this set is over $700.00 is significantly exaggerated, despite the great savings it provides. A $280.00 savings is still a significant amount, though.for newcomers. The focal length of the mirror (reflector) or primary lens (refractor) is divided by the focal length of the eyepiece to determine magnification. For instance, the 32 mm eyepiece provides me with 1,000/32 = 31x when the focal length of my telescope is 1,000 mm (1 inch is 25.4 mm). Ideal for observing nebulae like those in Orion. The 6 mm lens provides 167x at the other extreme, and the Barlow increases that to 334x, making it suitable for examining Mars (If the planetwide dust storm ever settles).I advise purchasing these extras to improve your experience.1) Since I conduct the majority of my observations with a medium-sized refractor, a diagonal prism for convenience of viewing is practically necessary. Because of where the eyepiece is located, reflectors don't truly require diagonals. Meade Instruments #918A 1.25-Inch Diagonal Prism, $29.99, is the one I purchased.

So easy to use yet so powerful!These looked like dished hockey pucks when I first saw photographs of them.Oh, no, they aren't. Since the bottom of the base may be moved, the dished portion can be adjusted to be correctly orientated in relation to the tripod leg. It's extremely clever.My Celestron 9.25" scope's tripod legs likewise didn't seem to need them, but what a difference in how much ground vibration is communicated! Though it isn't quite none, it is near.Additionally, these are substantially less expensive than the brands you may be familiar with and are very certainly produced in the same plant by the same workers.

The Celestron T-Adapter attaches an SLR or DSLR camera to a Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope for prime focus photography
$234
This connects to your telescope instead of the visual back from a Celestron (or many other brands). It makes it simple to attach the camera to the rear of the telescope in place of an eyepiece for astrophotography or extremely telephoto photography of subjects like animals when used in conjunction with the appropriate T adapter for your camera. For instance, this provides me 50 power at F6 with any camera using an APS-C sensor when using my Celestron Nexstar 6 SE scope. It provides me 20x on my AstroTech 66mm refractor. This device provides a far more reliable connection than the design that connects like an eyepiece since it bolts directly onto the back of the scope.

The logo is reversed, as has already been mentioned. This was constructed by Chinese laborers; outsourcing has its drawbacks. The rest is fine. UPDATE: Since then, I've switched to a CPC 1100 with a dew-shield from FarPoint rather than Celestron. Since I've owned both and the Celestron one still works to avoid dew, I'll advise you to purchase a FarPoint Dew Shield instead for the following reasons: The FarPoint is lined with a lovely black felt and is made of a thicker ABS material. Any dew that develops or accumulates on the interior of the dew-shield is kept from dripping onto the corrector plate by the felt. The FarPoint one is heavier as well. I discovered that the added weight helped keep my scope balanced. My CPC1100 is balanced by the FarPoint, which weighs 1 pound 3.9 ounces for the 11", as my scope has a 2" diagonal and several heavy 2" eyepieces. The FarPoint device is likewise available on Amazon.com. The 8" Celestron model I purchased has the Celestron logo put on the scope upside down, as I previously said. Completely unimportant, yet with some quality control in place, such a simple thing to do right at the manufacturer. If you add better diagonals and eyepieces (2" with TeleVue, Explore Scientific, Celestron, Meade or other nice eyepieces), trust me when I say the extra weight, especially on the Celestron Nexstar series, is crucial because you can't move your scope's optical tube assembly far enough forward to balance it out because the Nexstar mount is in the way of the aft rear cell mount. The solution is to extend or add another mount rail to the tube. Without needing to jump to an extended or secondary rail, purchasing a thicker dew shield might help with balance.

This collimator operates similarly to any other of its kind available on the market. One of the most affordable laser collimators is this one. There's a rationale behind that. Quality control appears to have overlooked the manufacture procedure when the laser is calibrated and made immediately useful. But they are the big ones. It directs a beam along the middle of your focuser, secondary mirror, and primary mirror, as closely as necessary. The red dot on my primary mirror formed a 1.5" circle when I rotated the laser in my focuser. I realized at that moment that I would have to calibrate it myself. Thank goodness, I had read some other reviews and forum discussions and knew just what to do. After about 20 minutes of tinkering, I managed to get the laser to give me a steady spot on the wall while rotating it on an RC plane propeller balancer from DuBro. (YouTube offers further techniques) I then went on to collimate my telescope, and everything worked out fine. Be careful not to rely only on a laser collimator, by the way. Getting your mirrors lined up properly involves much more than just pointing a laser along the middle. Take your time and do some study on youtube to ensure that everything is calibrated. You will benefit from it in your observations and be able to make the most of your cherished telescope. You can certainly spend more money on a Ho Tech or an Orion, but even that is a gamble. Calibration may or may not be necessary. Before you finally acquire one that doesn't require calibration when you take it out of the box, it can take numerous transactions. When there are things in the sky that need looking at, who has time for that? AMIRIGHT?
There is no definitive answer to this question as it depends on a number of factors, such as the telescope you are using, the conditions you are observing in, and your own personal preferences. In general, a 10mm eyepiece will provide a higher magnification than a 20mm eyepiece, but a 20mm eyepiece will provide a wider field of view. Ultimately, it is up to the individual observer to decide which eyepiece is more powerful for their needs.
There is no simple answer to this question as it depends on what you want to use your telescope for. If you are interested in planetary observation, then a higher mm telescope is better as it will provide you with a higher level of magnification. However, if you are interested in deep-sky objects such as galaxies and nebulae, then a lower mm telescope is better as it will provide you with a wider field of view.
A 4mm eyepiece is a great tool for observing the night sky. With this eyepiece, you can see a variety of different objects, including stars, planets, and even galaxies. This eyepiece is also great for viewing the Moon and other planets in our solar system.
There is no definitive answer for what eyepiece is best for moon observing. However, many people recommend using a low power eyepiece for the best views. This allows you to see more of the moon's surface in one view. You may also want to use an eyepiece with a wide field of view to take in the entire moon at once.
There is no definitive answer to this question as it depends on a number of factors, including the type of telescope you have, your budget, and your personal preferences. However, some of the most popular eyepieces among amateur astronomers include the Plossl, the Orthoscopic, and the Erfle.
