You get what you pay for I guess
(2 out of 5) by Patches on Aug 14, 2009I'm fairly new to astronomy, but I expected better quality when I purchased this eyepiece kit from Celestron. After reading some of the reviews here, I was convinced that these were going to be some decent eyepieces and filters. This kit may be alright for some, but I found them lacking in quality of fit and build and would not recommend them to anyone who has the desire to use the high-power eyepieces (9x, 6x, 4x, etc). I bought these because of the low price tag, and for the most part, I regret not just buying one or two better quality eyepieces from Televue. The filters were really "cheap" too.

So much for the price.
(3 out of 5) by Baby Astronomer on Aug 3, 2009Since I am a beginner I occasionally use this. But, I keep thinking of purchasing eyepieces of higher grades in the future. Optical qualites are fairly limited. The extreme small ones are too dark to use. It might be better to purchase 15mm and Barlow(sp?) lens seperately.
Great Price!
(5 out of 5) by J. Benson on Jul 16, 2009 (FLA)You just can't beat the price! Wait they just did! I paid a little over 120 and they just dropped it 5. Great case. Eyepieces all work great and you get the filters also. Has extra room for your other eyepieces. I highly recommend this for all beginners like me,

Useless without a quality scope
(1 out of 5) by Michael G. Romano on May 29, 2009 (Bend, OR)Bought this kit for a Celestron NextStar 8-inch SC scope. Most of these eyepieces are uselss because the Celestron telescopes don't have the quality optics necessary to take advantage of their power. The most powerful eye piece (not lens or filter) would probaly only be usefull for looking directly at the sun (it's soooooo dark).
It's much like mounting a 24-power Leupold scope on an Uzi: It ain't gonna do anything for your accuracy!

Good set for the money
(5 out of 5) by Joseph T. Pastor on Apr 28, 2009 (St. Louis MO)I haven't compared these to more expensive models too much. I did do a side by side comparison one night, and while there was a difference, I didn't see too significant an improvement in the more expensive one. I am new to the hobby, and I am discovering each night out that I've missed a lot on previous nights. As I get better at viewing, the differences might become more profound. But as for now, I am very happy with the value.
