- This 1.25” Eyepiece & Filter Kit includes 8 accessories that will add new life to your telescope and your observing!
- You’ll get three quality Plossl eyepieces, a 2X Barlow Lens, three colored filters to improve observations of the planets, a Moon & SkyGlow filter, and a foam-fitted aluminum carry case.
- Three eyepieces and a Barlow lens equals 6 different magnifications to choose from, including the equivalent of a mm, 3 mm, 6 mm, 6.25 mm, 10 mm, 12.5 mm, and 20 mm. And that doesn’t include eyepieces you may already have in your collection, which will now achieve double the magnification with the addition of the Barlow.
- The most popular planetary filters are included in this kit. Have fun seeing what a blue filter will reveal about Jupiter, or unveil the polar ice caps on Mars with a red filter. The included instruction sheet will describe which filter to use on what object.
This 1.25” Eyepiece and Filter Kit is a great way to expand the functionality and enjoyment of your telescope. Inside the metal, foam-lined carry case you’ll find these accessories:
- 20 mm Plossl Eyepiece - 1.25”
- 12.5 mm Plossl Eyepiece - 1.25”
- 6 mm Plossl Eyepiece - 1.25”
- 2X Barlow Lens - 1.25”
- #80A Blue Filter - 1.25”
- #23A Red Filter - 1.25”
- #12 Yellow Filter - 1.25”
- Moon & SkyGlow Filter - 1.25”
Eyepieces - All three Plossl eyepieces can be used in any telescope with a 1.25” focuser. Each eyepiece features a four-element design with a 52º apparent field of view. The optics are multi-coated to improve light transmission and protect the optics.
2X Barlow Lens - The included, and very versatile 2X Barlow doubles the magnification of any 1.25” eyepiece. Since this kit includes three (3) eyepieces, you will be able to use them with and without the Barlow, giving you a total of six magnification options in all. Any other 1.25” eyepieces you already have will also work in this desirable accessory, giving you even more magnification choices. Remember, high magnifications do not always produce clear, sharp results, especially on evenings of poor or moderate seeing conditions. Experiment to find the magnifications that are best for your telescope on a particular night.
Filters - Colored filters can be used to bring out certain details on a planet’s surface or its cloud structure. All of the planetary filters included in the 1.25” Eyepiece & Accessory Kit, as well as the Moon filter, can be used on any 1.25” eyepiece with the proper filter threads, so they are very versatile. Just screw one onto your eyepiece of choice and slide it into the focuser.
The Moon & SkyGlow filter is one of the first accessories most new amateur astronomers buy, and for good reason! It helps block out some of the light pollution and increases the clarity of your views so that you can see details better.
Metal Case: The sturdy metal carry case has die-cut foam inside to protect and cushion your accessories. Store each one in its appointed place when not in use and you’ll keep them looking and performing like new.
