Dear Demise
Sorry my post was unclear.
What I was talking about was the actual diameter of the eyepieces as you asked if eyepieces are interchangeable. The answer is mostly yes.
I agree with the posts above about aligning your finder during daytime. it is much easier to find a land based object to align on rather than a star in a dark sky.
DO NOT USE THE SOLAR FILTER. The only save solar filters go on the front of the telescope and block almost all of the light entering the scope. Filters on the eyepiece can crack leading to instant eye damage.
Good luck
