Accessory Kits
A new telescope often arrives with one eyepiece and no filters, which leaves a considerable gap between unboxing and a good first night. Accessory kits close that gap with a coordinated set — a range of magnifications, a Barlow, a few filters and a case — usually for less than the components cost separately. David Astro carries accessory kits in Canada, held in stock for fast domestic shipping.
Kits are excellent value and are not always the best route for a specific telescope. Tell us what you own and we will say whether a kit or a short list of individual items serves you better.

View full detailsWhat a Good Accessory Kit Contains
The value of a kit is in the spacing of what it includes — magnifications that do not overlap and filters that suit the telescope's aperture.
- A spread of eyepiece focal lengths: Typically four or five, spaced so each is a meaningful step rather than a near-duplicate of the one beside it.
- A Barlow lens: Doubles the useful magnifications available, which is why a kit with a good Barlow effectively contains twice as many eyepieces.
- Colour and lunar filters: A basic Wratten selection plus a neutral density or polarizing filter for the Moon.
- A nebula filter in better kits: A UHC-type filter, which is where a kit begins to be genuinely useful for deep-sky observing.
- A fitted case: Compartmented storage that keeps everything together and protects the coatings.
- Barrel size consistency: Kits come in 1.25 inch or 2 inch. Confirm your focuser and diagonal accept the size before ordering.
Why Choose David Astro for Accessory Kits
A kit is good value when its contents suit your telescope, and mediocre value when half of it does not.
- Checked against your telescope: We calculate what magnifications a kit will actually deliver in your focal length, so you can see whether the top end exceeds what your aperture supports.
- Alternative advice offered: If two good eyepieces would serve you better than a kit of six modest ones, we will say so.
- Custom kits assembled: We can put together a set for your specific telescope and sky rather than selling a generic package.
- Authorized dealer: Genuine products with manufacturer warranty, in Canadian stock.
- Ships from Canada: No duties or brokerage fees for Canadian buyers.
Accessory Kits in Canada — Frequently Asked Questions
- Are accessory kits good value?
- Generally yes for a first telescope, since they cover a full magnification range for less than buying separately. Their weakness is that the highest magnification eyepiece often exceeds what a small aperture supports.
- Will the kit fit my telescope?
- Check barrel size — 1.25 inch fits almost everything, 2 inch requires a compatible focuser and diagonal. Tell us your telescope and we will confirm before you order.
- Should I buy a kit or individual eyepieces?
- A kit if you are starting out and want coverage cheaply. Individual premium eyepieces if you already know which focal lengths you use most, particularly in a fast telescope where edge performance matters.
- Can you build a custom set?
- Yes. Tell us your telescope, your sky and your budget and we will assemble a set with properly spaced magnifications and filters that suit your aperture.
