Celestron Observer’s 1.25-Inch Accessory Kit Description

The Celestron Observer's 1.25-Inch Accessory Kit is an essential addition for any astronomy enthusiast looking to enhance their telescope experience. This thoughtfully curated kit allows you to explore the night sky with greater depth and detail, offering a range of accessories that expand the functionality of your telescope. Inside the durable, foam-lined carry case, you’ll discover two high-quality Plossl eyepieces, a versatile Barlow lens, a selection of filters, and a microfiber cleaning cloth—everything needed to elevate your stargazing adventures.

Imagine gazing at the craters of the Moon or the swirling clouds of Jupiter with crystal-clear precision. The 17mm and 6mm Plossl eyepieces included in this kit deliver a stunning 52º apparent field-of-view. The 17mm eyepiece provides a medium magnification that is perfect for general viewing, while the 6mm eyepiece is ideal for high magnification observations, particularly of the Moon and planets during optimal atmospheric conditions. With the kit's 2x Barlow lens, you can double the magnification of any 1.25” eyepiece, allowing for an even broader range of viewing options. For instance, the 17mm becomes an effective 8.5mm, while the 6mm reaches an impressive 3mm, opening up new possibilities for exploration.

In addition to the eyepieces and Barlow lens, the included filters enhance your viewing experience by improving contrast and detail. The #80A Blue filter enhances features on Jupiter and can be used to highlight the polar caps on Saturn, while the #25 Red filter is perfect for observing Mars and its ice caps. The Moon filter is a must-have for any amateur astronomer, as it reduces the intense brightness of the Moon, allowing you to see more intricate surface details with comfort.

Maintaining your optics is easy with the microfiber cleaning cloth, ensuring you can keep your eyepieces and filters free from smudges and dust. The hard plastic carry case not only protects your accessories but also features a die-cut foam interior that organizes everything neatly, making it convenient for transportation and storage.
