How do you switch the 10X eyepiece out so that you can use the 25X eyepiece? I tried to unscrew it, but only part of it came out.

If you twist at the bottom of the eyepiece where the microscope attaches to it it will completly detach

The eyepiece can be removed but I have not investigated the availability of other eyepieces. John Cullom

I pulled the original string off of the lens cap, and threaded the replacement string through the same hole. This allows you to use the string that attaches to the lens body with elastic cord around it. It's really simple to switch the string that is already on the replacement cap, with the replacement string that comes with your order.

pull up one side of the scope then then just push on the side that is off, hope this helped

These filters DO fit, as the 127EQ (I have one myself) has 1.25" eyepeices. The kicker though, is that our eye pieces do NOT have any threads (the eyepieces that come with the set). I've been told by Celestron to hold the filter between my eye and the eyepiece. Sigh. Best thing to fix that...get a different and better eyepiece.

You would need take out the front plastic cover. The one around the lens by twisting it to the left. So push and twist it off. Replace that with your plastic adapter and then screw your lens in.. There are 2 dots you need to align and twist to the right. I hope this helps..

Hi Naomi, The first thing you need is to have the tripod perfectly set, (check the bubble is perfectly centered) Second: use the biggest eyepiece (25mm Eyepiece). the one with the biggest number on it. This eyepiece is called the finder, because it's easier to find objects with it. Then fix your target, pick the brightest object in the sky (the moon usually) Now this is the hard to explain part... this is how I explained to my mom. Start looking at the eyepiece from around two inches, draw circles with your head looking for a light into the eyepiece, once you find a light go closer and closer till you are really near to the eyepiece (if you lose the light start all over again) The final step is to focus the telescope. You have the light perfectly fixed but not focused. Once focused, fix the object perfectly centered in the eyepiece and now center the same object in the Star Pointer Finderscope. Sorry for my English :) G

I didn't see any way to attach one, no threads or a way to take off the eyepiece.

Remove the existing ring around the lens ( mine is black and easily turns counter clockwise) The adapter then goes in it's place.

It seems like theyre sending out a different product every time. You should be able to gently bend the outer frame and dislodge the lenses. Mine came with parta that arent for anything, amd the instructions were definitely not in English

The manual says: "Insert a small flat-bladed screwdriver into the slot at one end of the light lens. Carefully pry the lens out." I would use a rag of some kind of padding between the lens and the housing when prying. Good luck!

There is a knob on top of the eyepiece. It doubles as a on/off switch as well as brightness selection. The battery goes in the knob it is like a turret and holds the battery under the screw on top.

When you ate handling the rifle, for the eyepiece, you so.ply push the spring button and the cover flips up. You Dont want to have to find the button and technically push back against you to open the objective lens. You simply thumb it forward and it pops open. It makes a lot more sense when you actually use it.

Sir - here's the best answer I can give: call Orion and ask them if that eyepiece you mention is threaded for filters, and that you want to screw-on an Orion moon filter to it. You'll get your answer on the spot.

I have found there is really no proper way in how to focus the eyepieces. You just have to keep adjusting them, mess around with it until they are adjusted to your satisfaction. I wish I could help your more, but thats really all I can say.
