Celestron put together this 1.25" Observers Accessory Kit to give users the essentials for observation and astro-imaging. This kit includes two Plossl eyepieces that yield high and low magnifications on any given telescope, two planetary color filters, and a neutral density Moon filter. This kit also includes a multi-function accessory that combines a 2x Barlow lens with a T-adapter which will not only double the magnification of any eyepiece used in it, but also allows a camera-specific T-ring to easily thread onto it to for astrophotography with a DSLR. An included plastic carrying case holds all of the kit's optical accessories with room for more.
Eyepieces
- 1.25" barrel diameter
- Four-element lens design
- 52° apparent angle of view
- Anti-reflection fully multi-coated optics improve light transmission, color rendition, and contrast
- 17mm focal length produces a medium magnification view in most telescopes
- 6mm focal length produces high magnifications - ideal for the Moon and planets
Eyepiece Filters
- #80A Medium-Blue:
- Enhances the contrast of the cloud belts on Jupiter and the polar ice caps on Saturn
- Increases contrast on the Moon
- #25 Deep Red:
- Helps to define the polar ice caps on Mars
- Useful when observing Jupiter
- ND Moon:
- Helps block out a portion of the Moon's light to increase contrast, allowing users to see details better
- Use when observing Venus to reduce glare so that the planet's phases can more easily be seen
Combo Accessory
- 2x Barlow: Doubles the magnification of any 1.25" eyepiece
- T-threads allow a camera to be mounted when used with an optional T-ring
