Telecentric lenses are designed so that the light exiting the rear element is perpendicular to the sensor. Non-telecentric lens designs allow the light to strike the sensor at an angle, which can lead to vignetting at the edge and corners of the sensor. The telecentric design of this lens minimizes vignetting.

Q: 10. I have a very nice pair of 125mm-objective binoculars, and I've always wanted to try to use a camera with them to photograph terrestrial objects (birds across the bay, cargo ships in the harbor, etc.). The binos use pairs of standard TeleVue 1.25 eyepieces. Would this astro camera be an easy and inexpensive way to do this? Thank you for any help you can offer. - Mark H.

A: This NexImage 5 will fit into any 1.25 format eyepiece holder. So if your binoculars are using 1.25 eyepieces currently - this would connect to them (obviously through only one of the oculars)
