For those who have an Astro scope, the dedicated zoom eyepiece for Opticron's MM2 fits the 1.25" astro socket.
On my astro scope the 15-40x zoom becomes a 65-172 zoom, and works surprisingly well!
Also if you have Nikon eyepieces, they can be converted to use in astro scopes with an adapter costing 30 Euros from Markus Ludes of APM telescopes in Germany. The Nikons are considered to be as good as the premium Televue eyepieces in astro circles. They can also adapt Leica for astro use.
