  • Celestron Eyepiece and Filter Kit - 1.25"

    The Celestron Eyepiece and Filter Kit for 1.25" focusers expands your telescope's capabilities with five 4-element Plossl eyepieces ranging from 6mm to 32mm. This 14-piece set includes a 2X Barlow lens to double your magnification options to ten, seven specialized filters to enhance planetary detail, and a foam-lined metal case for secure transport and storage. Each eyepiece features fully multi-coated optics and a 52° apparent field of view, providing a comprehensive upgrade for any 1.25" format telescope.

    5 Plossl Eyepieces with a 52° Field of View

    This kit provides a versatile range of five Plossl eyepieces, each built with a 4-element design and a 52° apparent field of view. The 32mm eyepiece delivers a wide, low-power view ideal for finding objects and observing large star clusters. The 17mm and 13mm oculars offer excellent medium-power views, while the 8mm and 6mm eyepieces provide high magnification for resolving fine details on the Moon and planets under steady seeing conditions.

    • Fully Multi-Coated Optics: Ensures maximum light transmission for bright, high-contrast images and protects the optical surfaces.
    • Standard 1.25" Barrels: Compatible with any telescope that accepts 1.25" eyepieces, making this a universal upgrade.
    • Blackened Lens Edges: Reduces internal reflections and increases contrast for sharper views of faint objects against a dark sky.

    2X Barlow Lens for 10 Magnification Options

    The included 2X Barlow lens instantly doubles the magnification of any 1.25" eyepiece it's paired with. By using the five eyepieces in this kit with and without the Barlow, you get a total of ten distinct magnifications. This allows you to precisely match the viewing power to your target and the atmospheric seeing conditions on any given night, effectively doubling the utility of your eyepiece collection.

    7 Filters for Lunar and Planetary Detail

    Enhance your views of solar system objects with the included set of six colored planetary filters and a neutral density Moon filter. These 1.25" filters thread directly onto any eyepiece in the kit, selectively passing certain wavelengths of light to boost contrast on specific features. The Moon filter reduces overall brightness, cutting glare to make lunar surface details more comfortable to observe, especially during brighter phases.

    • #80A Blue & #58 Green: Ideal for enhancing details in Jupiter's cloud belts and the Great Red Spot, as well as Mars' polar ice caps.
    • #25 Red & #21 Orange: Help define surface features on Mars and sharpen cloud details on Jupiter and Saturn.
    • #12 Yellow & #56 Light Green: Useful for bringing out details on Mars and improving contrast on lunar features.
    • Moon Filter: A neutral density filter that reduces glare without altering color, allowing for longer, more comfortable viewing of the lunar surface.

    Foam-Lined Metal Case for Protection

    The entire 14-piece accessory set comes housed in a durable metal case with die-cut foam interior. Each component has a dedicated slot, ensuring your eyepieces, filters, and Barlow are protected from dust, moisture, and impacts during transport and storage. The case provides a secure and organized way to keep your essential accessories ready for your next observing session.

  • How does the 2X Barlow in the Celestron Kit work with the eyepieces?

    The 2X Barlow lens is placed into the telescope's focuser first, and then an eyepiece is inserted into the Barlow. This doubles the effective magnification of that eyepiece. For example, the 17mm eyepiece becomes an 8.5mm eyepiece, and the 6mm provides the power of a 3mm eyepiece.

    Which eyepieces in the Celestron Kit are best for viewing Jupiter and Saturn?

    The 13mm, 8mm, and 6mm eyepieces are the best choices for planets. Start with the 13mm to locate and center the planet, then increase magnification with the 8mm or 6mm when atmospheric conditions are stable. Using the #80A Blue or #58 Green filter with these eyepieces can help enhance contrast in Jupiter's cloud bands.

    Is the Celestron Eyepiece and Filter Kit good for a beginner?

    Yes, this is an excellent starter kit. It provides a wide range of magnifications and the essential planetary and Moon filters in one package. This allows a new astronomer to experiment and discover which focal lengths and filters work best for their telescope and typical observing targets without having to purchase each item individually.

    How do I use the colored filters for planets with this kit?

    Simply screw the desired filter into the threaded barrel of any of the 1.25" Plossl eyepieces. For example, to better see the polar ice caps on Mars, thread the #80A Blue filter onto the 8mm eyepiece before inserting it into the focuser or Barlow lens.

    Will this kit work with my 8" f/10 Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope?

    Absolutely. This kit is a perfect match for an 8" SCT. The 32mm eyepiece will provide a wide 63x view for finding objects. The 8mm (254x) and 6mm (339x), especially when combined with the Barlow, will provide high power for resolving details on Jupiter, Saturn, and the Moon on nights with good seeing.

    What is the purpose of the Moon filter in the Celestron kit?

    The Moon can be uncomfortably bright, especially through a larger telescope. The Moon filter acts like sunglasses for your telescope, reducing the overall brightness (transmittance) without affecting the color. This cuts down on glare and improves contrast, allowing you to see fine details like crater rims and rilles more clearly.
