SOURCE: Vivitar Telescope

Eypieces in telescopes usually come in two sizes .9" and 1.25" diameter. There are hundreds of scientific companies or telescope companies that can supply you with an inexpensive replacement. The eyepiece focal lengths, usually in millimeters, determines the magnification of the telescope. The focal length of the main lens divided by the focal length of the eyepiece is the magnification of the telescope. Usually two eyepieces are enough for your scope. Good luck

SOURCE: We have a Vivitar 50x/100x

Commonly available astronomical telescope eyepieces are 1.25 inches in outside diameter. If the eyepiece tube on your scope is that dimension (inside diameter) then you will have no trouble finding lots of them in various focal lengths on Amazon or eBay. However, there are lots of "toy" telescopes that use proprietary eyepieces of smaller sizes, and these would be harder to get hold of.

Just put the eyepiece with the largest number written on it into the focuser. Take the scope outside during the day time and practice focusing on a distant object.

Cant get an image.Is it right that the view finderimage is upside down
The image of all astronomical telescopes are upside down (SCTs are upside down and reversed). RACI (right angled, correct image) finders do produce a right-side up image. For daytime use a erect image prism eyepiece.
Follow below instructions (except 7 in your case)

  1. Get Stellarium or another fine astronomy program
  2. During the day, point the telescope at a part of the landscape about 100 yards away.
  3. Use the lowest power eyepiece (highest number) in the focal tube.
  4. Center the landscape object in the telescope.
  5. Align the finder scope so that it points exactly where the main telescope is.
  6. At night, leave the scope out to reach thermal equilibrium (about an hour for small reflectors and refractors)
  7. If the scope is on a EQ mount, polar align.
  8. Point the finder at the moon. The moon should be in the main scope also.
  9. Practice finding the moon before you start on the planets
  10. Once you are comfortable with the moon and planets, you can go for the deep sky objects

Viv-tel-76700
viv tel 76700 takes both size eyepieces. There is a small sleeve in the eyepiece holder that reduces the size to .965in(cheap 2 element plastic pieces), take it out and use 1.25in( 4+ element glass) pieces and you will see better. This scope has many names on it, search 76700 telescope and you'll see.

When I look through the eyepiece all I can see is my own eye. I have a VIV-TEL-76700
The only thing I know of that can cause this effect is if you are looking into the eyepiece mount of a reflector telescope without there actually being an eyepiece in it. Seeing your own eye in this situation is a check that the collimation (lining up of the optical elements) is good.

You need to put an eyepiece into the mount. This scope is meant to come with two eyepieces, but if you bought it second-hand and didn't get them, you can buy eyepieces from several sources, including Amazon and eBay. Measure the eyepiece tube's inside diameter. The most common barrel size for eyepieces is 1.25 inches, but there are also some small telescopes that use eyepieces just under an inch (.965") in diameter, which are harder to find. If you have to buy eyepieces, they are likely to cost more than this scope is really worth.

I recently obtained a TASCO 30-060402 telescope which is missing its eye piece's. I would like to purchase a set of eye piece's for the telescope. How may I obtain the proper eye piece set.
Measure the hole on the telescope diagonal. Eyepieces come in .965, 1.25, and 2 inch sizes.

Many on-line retailers sell them here is one:

525 telescope but no instructions
No one will have a manual for this telescope, However here is a picture:

This is a very simple refractor on an alt az mount. Sure wish you had NOT bought this "department store" telescope. It will be shaky and has a very small aperture. Read my TIPS on my profile page to find out how to improve a department store telescope.

I have sent the following to Vivitar but had no response are you able to point me in the right direction please my email address is : [email protected] Dear Sir/Madam For Xmas I gave my Father a Vivitar...
I know you are missing this eyepiece. However you will probably NEVER be able to use it. This is a 60mm refractor not much larger than a pair of 10x50mm binoculars. ONLY under perfect sky conditions will you get 120 power from that telescope. The other eyepiece is the one you should use.
