Eyes tire out looking through eyepiece on telescope, any remedies or suggestions?

Answer 1

If you get tired due to the light, a good suggestion is to always have a red light with you during the observation. So when your eyes get tired the red light will rest them while you don't look at the telescope. Plus you will observe that with this way your eyes will tire out much less with this way. Also don't fear that this will reduce your visibility. Don't forget to use filters on the eye-pieces for the observations mainly of the moon and the other planets.

Answer 2

If you can find one get a binocular eyepiece. Most of the eye strain that occurs from looking through telescopes and microscopes comes from closing one eye for so long. (I use both a telescope and microscope, binocular eyepieces help tremendously)

also you should make sure your telescope is able to focus properly and that there are no optical abbberations involved. (see link)

Answer 3

You might try an eye patch. I've found that most of the fatigue is from squinting and keeping one eye closed, with the patch I don't force the off-eye shut and not near as much effort to observe thru the eyepeice. One bonus, binocular set-ups can be quite expensive, eyepatch is about 1.99.
