Default newbie problems with telescope: eyepieces don't fit

Ted Shoemaker wrote:
The eyepieces have outer diameter of 25 mm. They go into a piece
called the "diagonal" which has an inner diameter of 32 mm. Even with
the adjusting screws tightened as far as possible, they don't fit. Do
I need an adapter? Or do I need different eyepieces? In either case,
where do I get them?


You need a 1.25-0.965 inch adapter. Orion sells them, among others.
