After buying my Celestron telescope, my next step is getting accessories to enhance my viewing experience. I was given a lot of advice on eyepieces, magnifications, barlows and eyepiece filters. After learning that I have to buy 1 or 2 eyepieces, a barlow lens, they added up to a lot of money. then I found this offer and for the price, it can't be beat. As a bonus, it came with a very cool and useful red led flashlight that doesn't need any batteries. Everything came in this nice metal case. I can also use all the eyepieces, barlow and filters on any telescope, even others (my friend who owns a Meade tried them out). The quality of the eyepiece is and barlow was comparable to the plossl eyepieces that I have seen selling for $79 a piece.
Great buy!

I am very pleased with the quality of this set. Everything is multi-coated and is well made. The case is heavy duty and has room for other eyepieces. The 2X barlow lens doubles the eyepieces turning the 32mm into a 16mm and the 12.5mm into a 6.25mm eyepiece. You'll get plenty of use from the red LED flashlight as it will save your night vision when looking over your star chart.This is a great starter set for a needed upgrade from .965 eyepieces. The amazon price beats other online retailers by a mile.

Amazon is selling this at nearly 50% off! The eyepieces are great for a beginner and the great case has room for more when you add them. The filters are really cool.

I am new to Amateur Astronomy and I recently bougth a Celestron FirstScope 90 AZ telescope. It is a 90 mm refractor telescope on an Alazimuth tripod mount. The scope came with 10 mm and 20 mm Kellner eyepieces which are great to start but soon you will need to get a couple of new,(and better) eyepieces. Well this Accessory kit fits the bill very nicely indeed, it is a recommended accessory by the website where I bought my Telescope.

It comes with two Plossl eyepieces, (12 mm and 32 mm) which are of a much higher quality than the two Kellner eyepieces included with the scope. They also have eyecups which helps the user in cutting stray light from entering the eyepiece when viewing the stars or the planets. These are great eypeices, I particularly like the 32 mm (31.25x) eyepeice which I use to locate the planets or other objects first and then I can move on to more powerful eyepeices. The 12.5 mm is also a very good eyepeice, it gives me a magnification of 80x on my scope, but it is very clear and almost aberration free.

I love the no battery red LED flashlight, it really helps with checking the starcharts while viewing the stars. The included filters are also very good, the one that I have used the most is the 96ND (Neutral Density). it is great for viewing the moon and cutting down on it's brightness, it really accentuates lunar sufrace detail. I have also used the light blue (80A) filter it helps with viewing planetary detail on Jupiter, I still need to used the other filters some more.

I have only been stargazing for almost two months now, but overall for the money that I paid ($60.95) this a great telescope accessory kit for any telescope and I am very pleased with it. I was also very pleased with the service, I ordered the kit on a Monday evening, it was shipped on a Tuesday and I received it on Thursday and used it that same day. Since then I added a 8mm Celestron Xcel eyepeice that fits in the sturdy aluminun case that came with this kit which provided additional slots for adding gadgets later. I would recommend this kit to any newcomer to amateur astronomy who has recently bouht a new telescope that uses 1.25 inch eyepeices and filters.

I recently purchased an orion xt6 dobsonian, and this is the kit that my telescope should have came with! The extra plossl lenses are great to have to get a better view of the night sky and the batteryless LED flashlight is a must if you want to know where anything is. The kit also features enough space to fit the accesories my telescope came with in it.
