Hi Joe
There are differences on the new vs old eyepieces (the new ones have a locking feature which is not going to function on the AT mount), but I do know folks that have used the new zoom eyepieces on the old AT and ST series with no problems. They will mount, anyway, though perhaps not as securely as with the new scopes. I have heard that some of the new fixed power eyepieces will have some of the field of view cute off when used in the AT. Before plunking down the big bucks, I would first visit with Swarovski on the specific eyepiece you want to use.
