This economical seven-piece accessory kit enhances the performance of the Celestron PowerSeeker, or most any other telescope. The kit includes two full-size 1.25” eyepieces, three eyepiece filters, a cleaning cloth, and a case. Inside the plastic, foam-lined carry case you’ll find these accessories. 

Eyepieces
The 15 mm and 9 mm eyepieces can be used in any telescope with a 1.25” focuser.  Each eyepiece is fully coated to improve light transmission and protect the optics. The 15 mm Kellner eyepiece offers a nice medium magnification view in most telescopes, and the 9 mm provides high magnifications, great for the Moon and planets, especially when seeing conditions are good. The Celestron PowerSeeker Accessory Kit is a great way to see more with any telescope.

Filters
Colored filters can be used to bring out details on a celestial body’s surface or cloud structure.  All of the filters can be used on any 1.25” eyepiece with the proper filter threads. The #80A is a medium-blue filter that enhances the contrast of the cloud belts on Jupiter and the polar ice caps on Saturn.  It can also increase contrast on the Moon, but will color shift  The #25 filter is a red filter that define the polar ice caps on Mars.  The #25 Red filter blocks much of the light, so it is best used on bright objects with a large aperture telescope. The Moon filter blocks a portion of the light from the Moon so the detail are sharper and better highlighted

Cleaning Cloth & Case  
The microfiber cleaning cloth is the best and fastest way to clean your optics, as it leaves no residue. The black plastic carry case has die-cut foam inside to protect and cushion each of the included accessories.
