About this product
Astro Essentials 1.25" Eyepiece & Filter Kit
The Astro Essentials 1.25" eyepiece and filter kit includes twelve accessories that upgrade the eyepieces and accessories typically included with many beginner telescopes.
The handy, metal, foam-lined carry case contains five quality Plössl eyepieces, a 2x Barlow lens, and six coloured filters to improve planetary observations.
Five eyepieces are 4mm, 6mm, 9mm, 15mm, and 32mm. When combined with the Barlow, they provide ten different magnifications. The Barlow can also be used with other 1.25" eyepieces.
The most popular planetary filters are included in this kit. Have fun seeing what a blue filter will reveal when observing Jupiter, or the red filter when observing the polar ice caps on Mars.
See our handy guide to colour filters and how they can help improve your lunar and planetary visual observing.
