Celestron

The 1.25" AstroMaster Accessory Kit from Celestron features a selection of useful additions to your kit that will enhance your observational experiences. The two eyepieces produce medium and high magnifications in most telescopes, and the Barlow lens doubles the magnification of any eyepiece used with it - essentially doubling your inventory of eyepieces. Two of the most popular colored planetary filters, Red and Blue, can be used to enhance and highlight specific areas on Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, Mercury, Venus, and Saturn, as well as comets. For safe viewing of our closest celestial object, a Moon filter is also included with reduces glare and enhances contrast on the surface. To hold all these accessories is a hard plastic case with a custom-cut foam lining.Eyepieces 1.25" diameter barrelsAnti-reflection fully multi-coated to improve light transmission, color rendition, contrast and sharpness15mm Kellner offers a medium magnification potential on most OTAs6mm Plossl produces high-magnificationBarlow 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 magnificationsBuilt-in T-thread accepts optional camera-specific T-ring for high-magnification astrophotography/imagingFilters Tinted glass lenses ensure longevityAnti-reflection coated to prevent glaring and ghosting1.25" diameter to fit most standard 1.25" eyepiecesThreads allow filter stacking#80A Blue:Light blue with 30% transmittanceMost 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 featuresImproves observation of Mercury's dusky surface markings at twilight, when it is near the horizonUseful for increasing the contrast of dark shadings in upper Venusian cloudsBrings out the best definition in comet gas tailsAlso very useful 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, and sharpens the boundaries of yellow dust cloudsImproves observation of Mercury at twilight, when the planet is near the horizon; reduces the brightness of the blue sky to enhance surface features when viewing during the dayUseful for studying bluer clouds on SaturnUse during daylight observations of Venus to reduce brightness of blue sky; can make deformations of the terminator visibleMoon:21mm clear aperture18% transmittance reduces glare to bring out more surface detail and improve contrastMakes viewing the Moon safe when at or near full phaseAlso useful to bring out surface details on Venus
