Product Description
Celestron Eyepiece and Filter Kit (1.25")
1.25" Diameter Accessories
32, 17, 13, 8, 6mm Plossl Eyepieces
Six Coloured Planetary Eyepiece Filters
Neutral Density Moon Filter
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 coloured 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 aluminium carrying case protects the accessories while custom die-cut foam on the inside cushions them.
Eyepieces
1.25" diameter barrels
Accepts most standard 1.25" eyepiece filters
Anti-reflection multi-coated optics improves light transmission, colour rendition, and contrast
52° apparent angle of view
6mm offers the highest magnification potential
8mm produces a high magnification, but with a slightly longer eye relief than the 6mm
13mm produces a comfortable mid-range magnification
17mm offers a higher magnification potential than 32mm without sacrificing brightness
32mm has the lowest magnification potential with the longest eye relief and highest light transmittance
Filters
Enhances the contrast on Jupiter's cloud belts
Enhances details of the Great Red Spot
Brings out detail in Saturn's belts and polar features
Also very useful for lunar observing
Increases the contrast on the lighter parts of the surface of Jupiter
Useful for enhancing the cloud belts and polar regions on Saturn
Increases the contrast in Mars polar ice caps
Increases the contrast of atmospheric features on Venus
Excellent for the observation of Martian polar ice caps and for the yellow tinted dust storms on the planet's surface
Increases the contrast of the red and blue regions in Jupiter's atmosphere and cloud belts
Great for lunar observing
Blocks the transmission of blue and green wavelengths
Sharply defines the contrast between the cloud formations and the lighter-toned surface features on
Useful for definition of the Martian polar ice caps and maria
Reduces transmission of blue and green wavelengths
Increases the contrast between these blue/green areas and red/yellow/orange areas
Sharpens the boundaries between these areas on the Martian surface
Sharpen the contrast in Jupiter's belts and to bring out the Great Red Spot
Slightly increases surface details on Saturn
Enhances red and orange features on Jupiter and Saturn, while blocking blue and green wavelengths
Lightens the red and orange features on Mars, while reducing, or blocking, the transmission of blue and green areas - increasing the contrast between the two
Enhances the blue clouds in the Martian atmosphere
Makes viewing the Moon safe when at or near full phase
Reduces glare to bring out more surface detail and improve contrast
Also useful to bring out surface details on Venus
1.25" diameter barrel and eyepiece holder
2x magnification doubles the magnification of any eyepiece used
Increases magnification while preserving eyepiece's native eye relief for easier viewing at high magnifications
