This would likely be your most often used eyepiece, go ahead and spend as much as you can here. Baader Hyperions are good choices on a budget. For alot mo...

For objects that are closer to the lens, the distance from the front of the lens to the sensor will...

Depends on the ccd model, you can check if the manufacturer has a EOS adapter designed for it. On the st...
