Doesn't fit on the "Orion Edge-On Planetary 9mm" but it can on others if I remove the spacer/end(?) from the bottom of eye piece. The threads don't match otherwise. But the eye relief on the others were problematic.
I am pondering some plumbing pipe to make a customised Barlow
for use with the 9mm. (2X Barlow is too much for the telescope and 9mm eye piece at 89x mag)
Hopefully a cheap way to test higher magnifications.
