Description
Celestron put together this 1.25" Eyepiece and Filter Kit to give users essential accessories for planetary observation. This kit includes five Plossl eyepieces that provide a wide range of magnifications on any given telescope, six of the most popular colored planetary filters to enhance the views, a Moon filter that reduces glare from the lunar surface while enhancing contrast, and a 2x Barlow lens which essentially doubles the magnification of any eyepiece used with it. An included hard aluminum carrying case protects the accessories while custom die-cut foam on the inside cushions them.Eyepieces 1.25" diameter barrelsAccepts most standard 1.25" eyepiece filtersAnti-reflection multi-coated optics improves light transmission, color rendition, and contrast52 apparent angle of view6mm offers highest magnification potential8mm produces a high magnification, but with a slightly longer eye relief than the 6mm13mm produces a comfortable mid-range magnification17mm offers a higher magnification potential than the 32mm without sacrificing brightness32mm has the lowest magnification potential with the longest eye relief and highest light transmittanceFilters Fits standard 1.25" eyepieces#80A Blue:Most popular for the study of detail on Jupiter and SaturnEnhances the contrast on Jupiter's cloud beltsEnhances details of the Great Red SpotBrings out detail in Saturn's belts and polar featuresAlso very useful for lunar observing#58 Green:Rejects red and blue wavelengthsIncreases the contrast on the lighter parts of the surface of JupiterUseful for enhancing the cloud belts and polar regions on SaturnIncreases the contrast in Mars polar ice caps Increases the contrast of atmospheric features on Venus#56 Light Green:Excellent for the observation of Martian polar ice caps and for the yellow tinted dust storms on the planet's surfaceIncreases the contrast of the red and blue regions in Jupiter's atmosphere and cloud beltsGreat for lunar observing#25 Red:Blocks the transmission of blue and green wavelengthsSharply defines the contrast between the cloud formations and the lighter-toned surface features on JupiterUseful for definition of the Martian polar ice caps and maria#21 Orange:Reduces transmission of blue and green wavelengthsIncreases the contrast between these blue/green areas and red/yellow/orange areasSharpens the boundaries between these areas on the Martian surfaceSharpen the contrast in Jupiter's belts and to bring out the Great Red SpotSlightly increases surface details on Saturn#12 Deep Yellow:Enhances red and orange features on Jupiter and Saturn, while blocking blue and green wavelengthsLightens the red and orange features on Mars, while reducing, or blocking, the transmission of blue and green areas - increasing the contrast between the twoEnhances the blue clouds in the Martian atmosphereMoon:Makes viewing the Moon safe when at or near full phaseReduces glare to bring out more surface detail and improve contrastAlso useful to bring out surface details on VenusBarlow Lens 1.25" diameter barrel and eyepiece holder2x magnification doubles the magnification of any eyepiece usedIncreases magnification while preserving eyepiece's native eye relief for easier viewing at high magnificationsCase Hard aluminum case with reinforced corners and edgesDual latch-locksHinge carrying handleCustom interior die-cut foam protects and cushions accessoriesExtra room for additional accessories - simply pluck foam for a custom-fit space
