Celestron AstroMaster Accessory Kit - ideal for budding astronomers.
Get more enjoyment from your telescope with the Celestron AstroMaster Accessory Kit. Inside the plastic, foam-lined carry case you'll find these accessories:
- 15mm Kellner Eyepiece - 1.25'
- 6mm Plossl Eyepiece - 1.25'
- 2X Barlow Lens with T-threads - 1.25'
- #80A Blue Filter - 1.25'
- #25 Red Filter - 1.25'
- Moon Filter - 1.25'
- Microfiber Cleaning Cloth
Eyepieces - The 15mm and 6mm eyepieces can be used in any telescope with a 1.25' focuser. Each eyepiece is fully coated to improve light transmission and protect the optics. The 15mm Kellner eyepiece offers a nice medium magnification view in most telescopes, and the 6mm Plossl provides high magnifications, great for the Moon and planets.
2x Barlow Lens - Insert the 2x Barlow Lens between the eyepiece and the telescope and it doubles the magnification of any 1.25' eyepiece. Any other 1.25' eyepieces you already have will also work in this versatile accessory, giving you more magnification choices. Remember, high magnifications do not always produce clear, sharp results, especially on evenings of poor or moderate seeing conditions. Experiment to find the magnifications that are best for you and your telescope. T-Threads are machined into this Barlow lens, allowing a user to attach a DSLR camera with the addition of an optional T-Ring.
Filters - Coloured filters can be used to bring out certain details on a planet's surface or its cloud structure. Both planetary filters, as well as the Moon filter, can be used on any 1.25' eyepiece with the proper filter threads. Just screw one onto your eyepiece of choice and slide it into the focuser.
The Moon filter helps block out a portion of the light the Moon sends into your eyepiece, so that you can see details better. You can also try this filter on Venus - it helps you see the planet's phases.
