About eyepieces applicable to BT-ED70S-A
The removable eyepieces can be swapped for other Vixen NLV or LVW
series of 31.7mm-size eyepieces, but if the eyepieces with high magnification
are used, it may give rise to misalignment that is become detectable due to
its high magnification. It is always recommendable to use the eyepieces
with focal length longer than 10mm for observing to avoid it.
