## Description

If you have a Celestron FirstScope telescope and want even more versatility and portability, take a look at the Celestron FirstScope Accessory Kit! It includes six separate pieces that will enhance your observations and help you learn even more about the Universe. Get Help Finding Objects When you are observing something big, like the Moon, it is fairly easy to point your telescope along its line of sight and get that object in your eyepiece. However, smaller objects are much easier to locate in your telescope if you have a finderscope to help do the work. This 5x24 finderscope and bracket is made to attach to the FirstScope without tools. It magnifies the view by 5X and has optics 24mm in diameter. Once you have attached the finderscope to your telescope tube and have done some simple alignments, you will be able to point with the finder instead of the telescope itself. Choose Your Magnification Anyone who has a telescope will tell you that you can’t have too many eyepieces. Every eyepiece offers a different magnification and a different field of view. In the FirstScope Accessory Kit, you will get two 1.25” eyepieces. One is a 12.5mm model, and will magnify objects 24X more than your eyes alone can see. The second eyepiece is a 6mm, and will boost the power even further, to 50X. Remember, the lower the number of the eyepiece, the higher the magnification! See More Detail on the Moon The Moon is beautiful, but it is bright, especially when full. A Moon Filter works the same way sunglasses do for your eyes on a bright, sunny day. The filter lowers the amount of light reaching your eye, and allows it to relax and see details that would not be visible in an unfiltered view of the Moon due to glare. The Moon Filter screws onto the barrel of all of your 1.25” eyepieces, giving you a choice of filtered magnification. (Note: Do not use the Moon filter for solar observation.) Learn More About the Sky Starry Night Basic Edition is included in the FirstScope Accessory Kit. The software can be downloaded on your PC (Windows 7, XP, and Vista) or Mac (10.4.8 or later) computers. Learn the constellations, print out star charts for an upcoming observing session, and learn how to identify planets and stars, and more! Store & Carry Your Telescope Easily When your FirstScope telescope and accessories are not in use, store them in this nylon tote bag! Having everything together in one easily-identifiable carry bag will make it even quicker to grab your telescope and get outside to see the latest comet, bright, shining planet, or lunar eclipse!

Review: Great value for money, a great set for a beginner like me and wonderful views - I’ve only had my Newtonian telescope 3 months (Celestron Astromaster 130EQ) which came with 10mm and 20mm eyepieces. So I’m very much a beginner. This set fit perfectly with my telescope and the filters fit perfectly on my existing eyepieces and the eyepieces this set came with. Personally I’ve found the 10mm the sharpest but I also find it excellent with the 2x Barlow lens as it gives a much closer view. The 15mm and 20mm are very sharp but a wider field of view and I prefer a the closer images. The 6mm does provide a good zoomed in view but is slightly less sharp in the image. This is great for the moon and focusing on specific features for my telescope but is just slightly less sharp than I’ve found the 10mm plus eyepieces to be. Again using the Barlow lens I’ve personally found using the 10mm with it to be a sharper image than the 6mm. I’ve also got an adapter to take pictures through the telescope with my phone. This has worked well with the 15mm and my existing 10mm but is definitely harder with the 6mm due to how small the eyepiece is. So I’ve used the 15 and 10mm with the Barlow lens which have been great. The moon filter is amazing for viewing the moon and Venus it stops the brightness and allows you to see details on the moon hidden when it’s too bright. I have also used the blue and red filters on Venus as it’s so bright at the moment. These do remove a lot of the light and change the colour you see but that was what I was counting on to try and get sharper views of the planet without the glare. I can’t wait to use them on Jupiter to see if they help show the bands etc. but They’ve not been visible in the sky yet. Overall the kit is excellent. I couldn’t afford all these items separately and they so far have been great quality and really helped with different views and pics of the moon and Venus. I hope the review helps anyone who’s similar to me, fairly new to astronomy.
Review: Superb Kit! - Absolutely fantastic quality product. It took my Astromaster LT60 AZ to an other level. We have observed never seen details of the moon, and I was able to see the rings of 🪐 Saturn. Amazing! I have actually received the item one day earlier than expected 😁

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ handy kit for begginers
*by F***Y on 14 July 2013*

as someone who doesn't really know what he is doing with astronomy, I bit the bullet and got this lens kit to go with my telescope. I have messed around with both lenses and the Barlow lens. The lenses are great and offer something of value depending on what you are viewing in the night sky, although I must admit i am a little dissapointed with the barlow lens so far as this has not added much to my viewing pleasure. Once the moon is higher in the night sky I will be able to make better use of the filters, until then I will continue to learn and enjoy this kit along with my telescope.
