Celestron Observer’s Accessory Kit

The Celestron Observer’s Accessory Kit is a great way to expand the functionality and enjoyment of your telescope. Contents: 17 mm and 6 mm Plossl Eyepiece - 1.25”These can be used in any telescope with a 1.25” focuser, each eyepiece features a four-element design with a 52º apparent field of view. The lenses are fully multi-coated to improve light transmission and protect the optics. The 17 mm Plossl eyepiece offers a nice medium magnification view in most telescopes, and the 6 mm Plossl provides high magnifications, great for the Moon and planets, especially when seeing conditions are good. 2x Barlow Lens/T-Adapter - 1.25”The versatile 2x Barlow will double the magnification of any 1.25” eyepiece, making the 17 mm Plossl effectively a 8.5 mm eyepiece, and the 6 mm a 3 mm. Any other 1.25” eyepieces you already have will also work in this desirable accessory, giving you even more magnification choices. T-threads are machined into the top portion of this Barlow lens, allowing a user to attach a camera with the addition of an optional T-ring. Colour Filters: #80A Blue Filter and #25 Red Filter - 1.25” The #80A is a medium-blue filter that enhances the contrast of the cloud belts on Jupiter and the polar ice caps on Saturn. It also can be used to increase contrast on the Moon if you don’t mind the colour shift.The #25 filter is a deep red colour and is a good choice when you want to define the polar ice caps on Mars. It’s also fun to use this filter when observing Jupiter. The #25 Red filter blocks quite a bit of light coming through your telescope, however, so it is best used on bright objects with larger aperture telescopes. Moon Filter - 1.25”The Moon filter helps block out a portion of the light the Moon sends into your eyepiece so you can see details better. You can also try this filter on Venus; it blocks enough glare so that the planet’s phases can more easily be seen.Microfiber Cleaning Cloth Use it to safely remove fingerprints and smears from your optics without leaving residue behind. Remember to blow or brush any dust particles off of your optics before rubbing them with the cloth. Carry Case The black plastic carry case has die-cut foam inside to protect and cushion your accessories, keep each one in its appointed place when not in use and you’ll keep them looking and performing like new. The case is large enough to also carry a few extra accessories safely.
