Questions and Answers

Seth Olsen (2015.12.22)

Tell me the difference between this eyepiece and {{ {{ https://www.levenhuk.com/catalogue/accessories/levenhuk-plossl-4mm-eyepiece/.link.link }} }}. The latter one has 5 degrees smaller field of view... which one will be preferable?

Customer service:

Levenhuk Plossl 4 mm Eyepiece
has 50° field of view and 3.5mm eye relief. Levenhuk Ra Plossl 4 mm 1.25" Eyepiece features 55° field of view and 2.4mm eye relief. Levenhuk Ra Plossl 4 mm 1.25" Eyepiece will be a better choice due to its wider field of view.

Jimmie (2015.11.24)

Hello! Which filter should I choose for planetary observations with my 70/500 telescope? 4mm (125x) or 7.5mm + 2x barlow lens (133x). Thanks in advance!

Customer service:

We would recommend using 4mm eyepiece without Barlow lens.

Ken Reese (2015.11.23)

Hello! I'm planning to buy this eyepiece for my Sky-Watcher Dob 8". The kit includes two eyepieces 25mm and 10 mm. According to my calculations I will be able to get 300x magnification, which is quite enough for observations of Solar System planets... Is it suitable for deep-sky observations? at least bright objects? Thanks!

Customer service:

Levenhuk Ra Plossl 4 mm Eyepiece is suitable for observing planets, as well as bright deep-sky objects.

Good day. Can I use this eyepiece on my Levenhuk Strike 900 PRO?

Customer service:

With Levenhuk Ra Plossl 4 mm 1.25" Eyepiece installed on the Levenhuk Strike 900 PRO telescope you will exceed the highest practical power of your telescope. We recommend using Levenhuk Ra Plossl 6 mm 1.25" Eyepiece - http://www.levenhuk.com/catalogue/accessories/telescope-accessories/telescope-eyepieces/levenhuk-ra-plossl-6mm-1-25-eyepiece/

James Blake (2015.01.07)

Does this eyepiece fit Skywatcher BKP1145EQ1? Will there be a distinct advantage compared to 10 mm one that comes in the kit?

Customer service:

Yes, Levenhuk Ra Plossl 4 mm Eyepiece is suitable for use with your telescope. Eyepieces purchased separately are usually better than the ones that come included in the kit.

Cheryl Cline (2014.10.13)

Good day, is this eyepiece suitable for Levenhuk Strike 80 NG, won't image be blurred?

Erin Garza (2014.07.06)

Is this eyepiece suitable for Bresser National Geographic 76/700 EQ?

Laurence (2014.07.01)

Greetings! I'd like to know if I can install 4 mm eyepiece on Levenhuk Skyline 70x700 AZ. The highest practical power of the model is 140x, and the eyepiece will produce 175x. Will the image be blurred?

Customer service:

Yes, unfortunately the resulting image will be blurred. We recommend using 5 mm eyepiece, but we don't have this item in stock at the moment. You can also use Levenhuk Ra Plossl 6 mm 1.25" Eyepiece - http://www.levenhuk.com/catalogue/accessories/telescope-accessories/telescope-eyepieces/levenhuk-ra-plossl-6mm-1-25-eyepiece/

Manuel (2014.04.22)

Does it fit Celestron Omni 150? And together with 2x Barlow Lens?

Customer service:

Yes, it's suitable. When using Levenhuk Ra Plossl 4 mm Eyepiece with your telescope resulting magnification will be about 187x. But using it together with 2x Barlow Lens will leed to exceeding the maximum useful magnification of this model that is around 375-fold.
