Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism This review is from: Celestron Accessory Kit (Electronics) While the supplied eyepieces aren't of the same quality of, say, TeleVue plossls, they are nonetheless good generic symmetricals (most "plossls" are not true Plossls) of the sort that would ordinarily cost you about twice what this set sells for- and you get filters and a case, to boot! The whole set would typically sell for about three times what Celestron is asking here. I'd recommend this set, along with a good 6" Dobsonian reflector from Celestron or another quality vendor, as an excellent beginner's outfit. If you already have a decent beginner's scope that takes 1-1/4" eyepieces, this set will provide you with all the eyepieces you're likely to need for some time.

It came with 2 basic eyepieces. This kit looked like a nice addition, for a fair price. I received the kit quickly, well this is Amazon... The case, as said before in other review, is sturdy and well designed. It is very convenient to carry around, and you don't have to worry about damaging your eyepieces at all. I found it very nice being able to carry all eyepieces at once, and leave the case a few feet away from my observation location, in order to grab elements I need. The set features some extra space inside, and you can fit another 3 eyepieces. Eyepieces are of good quality. Not top of the line, yet they provide a crisp and clear view. The barlow lens is well built as well. I found the larger eyepiece (the 4mm one) to be of average quality, especially when used with the barlow lens. Filter are well chosen and give you a good range of choices. I found the moon filter not dark enough to my taste, but it still does a nice job. Overall, the born-again star gazer that I am is very satisfied of this very good investment.

I have over 20 years experience in using telescopes and eyepieces. These eyepieces are a great bargain. Through my 4" fluorite I have used the high power 4mm and 6mm plossl's from this kit with very sharp and contrasty views of Jupiter. Highly recommended Help other customers find the most helpful reviews Report this | Permalink Comment Comment Share your thoughts with other customers: Create your own review › See all 62 customer reviews... function createIFrame(parentId,name,src,width,height,headerFlag,onloadHandler,ffMagic,style) { var elem = document.createElement("iframe"); elem.id = name; if (ffMagic === true && navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Firefox") Celestron Accessory Kit Available from Amazon Updated on 5-18-2010.
