Celestron AstroMaster 1.25-Inch Accessory Kit

Celestron AstroMaster 1.25-Inch Accessory Kit Description

Enhance your stargazing experience with the Celestron AstroMaster 1.25-Inch Accessory Kit, designed to complement your telescope and boost its performance significantly. This economical eight-piece kit is perfect for beginners and seasoned astronomers alike, offering a collection of high-quality eyepieces and filters that make exploring the night sky even more enjoyable. Imagine being able to clearly observe the craters on the Moon or the bands of Jupiter with ease—this accessory kit brings those celestial wonders closer to you.

Inside the durable, foam-lined carry case, you'll find essential tools for your astronomical adventures. The kit includes two eyepieces—a 15mm Kellner and a 6mm Plossl—each fully coated to enhance light transmission and protect your optics. The 15mm eyepiece provides a comfortable medium magnification view, ideal for a variety of celestial objects, while the 6mm eyepiece is perfect for high magnification observations, allowing you to see intricate details on the Moon and planets when the sky conditions are favorable.

To further boost your magnification options, the kit features a versatile 2X Barlow lens. By simply inserting it between the eyepiece and your telescope, you can double the magnification of any 1.25-inch eyepiece. This means your 15mm Kellner becomes a 7.5mm eyepiece, and the 6mm Plossl takes you down to a stunning 3mm. This adaptability makes the kit an invaluable addition to your gear, allowing for a wide range of magnification choices to suit your observational needs.

The inclusion of specialized filters is another significant advantage of the AstroMaster Accessory Kit. The #80A blue filter enhances contrast in the cloud belts of Jupiter and the polar ice caps of Saturn, while the #25 red filter is excellent for highlighting the polar ice caps on Mars. The Moon filter helps to reduce glare, making lunar details more visible, and can also be applied to Venus to view its phases. These filters are easy to screw onto the eyepieces, providing you with the tools to view celestial features in greater detail.

Finally, keeping your optics in top shape is essential, and the microfiber cleaning cloth included in the kit ensures that you can maintain your eyepieces without leaving any residue. The sturdy carry case is designed to keep all your accessories organized and protected, so you can easily transport your gear to any location. Whether you're setting up in your backyard or venturing to a dark-sky site, the Celestron AstroMaster 1.25-Inch Accessory Kit is your perfect companion for celestial exploration.
