A question to ExpertsPosted By Renato Alessio |
I doubt it'll work properly if you take the lens cell out, as those other lenses may well do more than just reduce the focal length.
University Optics used to sell a right angled, erect image, 3X Barlowed gadget that one attached a camera lens and eyepiece to - and you had a telescope. Mine worked as advertised, except that it showed how poor the quality of my lenses were.
Various big photography stores used to sell gadgets that fit on the back of your lens. But those gadgets didn't enable you to change eyepieces. But for 50 or 60 dollars, you'd have a nice low power telescope.
What you may wish to try, is to get a spare rear plastic cap of your lens and some 1.25" internal diameter tube, and see if you can make an eyepiece holder that fits into the plastic cap. You would then have a working telescope.
