SOURCE: My rotating polarizing filter fell apart and I can

Hi,
Based on the fundamentals of retaining rings, The filter lens probably fits into the ring housing first, and the retainer ring is inserted inside of the ring, following the lens. The retainer will need to be compressed in order to fit inside the ring, but will snap into a groove once in proper position.
I hope this is helpful... Good luck.

Almost impossible to say without knowing the exact eyepieces you have. If there are flat "sides" put the two flat sides together; then try exactly the reverse.

You can always buy another replacement eyepiece from many on line retailers.

Here is one:

SOURCE: Broken eyepiece, 1940s vintage 7x50 individual

Here in Melbourne, Australia I make these for people who need them. I also have a reasonable amount of stock generic ones. The question is not so much the size of the ring, but the thread size, the depth of the eyecup (depends upon the magnification) which sets your eye at the correct distance behind the eyepiece (eye relief) and the size of the central hole to suit the size of the eye lens. There would be other small engineering companies that could make one for you out of delrin.

SOURCE: I TOOK THE EYEPIECE APART

NEVER EVER disassemble an eyepiece --- no one can tell you how the lenses go together there are dozens of combinations and some eyepieces have as many as 6-8 glass lenses inside!

Sorry buy another eyepiece and only clean the outside surfaces.

How to retrieve item dropped inside Celestron C8 telescope

Very Important! Mark the corrector with tape between the corrector and the side so you can put it back in the exact same place. Do NOT tilt the scope down or the eyepiece will slam into the secondary or the corrector plate, Remove the screws holding the corrector. A strong suction cup can help lift it out (will make a mark to be cleaned later.
Gently tilt the scope down to remove the eyepiece. Re assemble and you will probably have to collumate.

Hello, I have a celestron c9,25. I adjust a nikon D3100 with T-Ring and Adapter to my telescope. Firstly I focus to moon, using an eyepiece, then I removed the eyepiece and adjusted the Nikon. The...

Because the camera has a different focus point from the eyepiece. TURN the focus knob until the camera comes into focus. OR you can buy a "focus ring" for the eyepiece which attaches to the barrel of the eyepiece and is adjustable-- then focus with the camera FIRST and then insert the eyepiece with the ring on it and lift it UP until the image comes to focus-- then tighten the ring. NOW you can use that eyepiece to roughly focus the camera.

Which way does the magnifer lense on the eye piece go please. As it fell apart thankyou

No one can advise you how to put an eyepiece back together -- there are too many different kinds, and some have from 3-7 separate elements.

Best to just toss it and buy another eyepiece. NEVER try to take one apart. You void the warranty when you do that. Only the outside glass elements should ever need cleaning.

The lense for my Nexstar 6se was taken apart and I don't know how to put it back together properly. HELP!!

The eyepiece should NEVER BE DISASSEMBLED! Since it has multiple lenses inside no one can tell you how they go back together. This also voids the manufacturer warranty.

Go and buy another eyepiece and NEVER ever disassemble them. Only the OUTSIDE surface ever needs cleaning,

Here is one retailer who sells eyepieces.
