Celestron Eyepiece and Filter Kit (1.25")

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 barrels
  
• Accepts most standard 1.25" eyepiece filters
  
• Anti-reflection multi-coated optics improves light transmission, color rendition, and contrast
  
• 52° apparent angle of view
  
• 6mm offers 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 the 32mm without sacrificing brightness
  
• 32mm has the lowest magnification potential with the longest eye relief and highest light transmittance

Filters

• Fits standard 1.25" eyepieces
  #80A Blue:
  
• Most popular for the study of detail on Jupiter and Saturn
  
• 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
  #58 Green:
  
• Rejects red and blue wavelengths
  
• 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
  #56 Light Green:
  
• 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
  #25 Red:
  
• Blocks the transmission of blue and green wavelengths
  
• Sharply defines the contrast between the cloud formations and the lighter-toned surface features on Jupiter
  
• Useful for definition of the Martian polar ice caps and maria
  #21 Orange:
  
• 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
  #12 Deep Yellow:
  
• 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
  Moon:
  
• 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

Barlow Lens

• 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

Case

• Hard aluminum case with reinforced corners and edges
  
• Dual latch-locks
  
• Hinge carrying handle
  
• Custom interior die-cut foam protects and cushions accessories
  
• Extra room for additional accessories - simply pluck foam for a custom-fit space
