  1. you might try 'Tasco' , or possibly Edmund Scientific.


  2. Measure the eyepieces to find out the diameter of their barrels (the part you insert into the focuser). This will be either 24.5 mm or 1.25 inches. These are standard eyepiece sizes, and any telescope store will sell eyepieces in these sizes.

  3. This is a 500mm focal length reflector with 114mm aperture. It comes with a 4mm (125x), 10mm (50x), and 20mm (25x) eyepieces.  They're standard 1.25" eyepieces.  Orion, Meade, Celestron, and Tasco sell these, and i believe will ship to the Philippines.

    They claim 270x max usable magnification.  I'd bet 230x.  If you're comfortable with your 4mm eyepiece, and you want higher power, i'd get a 2x barlow.  You also might consider an even lower power eyepiece - say a 30mm (16x) for wider field of view on large objects like m31, and the Veil nebula.

    But i'd likely get a variable polarizing filter next.  If you have high light pollution, i might get a Lumicon Oxygen 3 filter.  This works great for nebulae.  The Orion O3 filter is much darker.  Great for my 254mm scope, but i've used the Lumicon with a scope the size of this Tasco.

    Any other questions, feel free to send me a note.  Click on my face and then the link to send email in my profile.
