-
Neutral Density Moon Filter (1.25")
-
Microfiber Cleaning Cloth
-
Foam-lined Plastic Storage Case
Eyepieces
The 15mm Kellner eyepiece offers medium magnification, making it suitable for a wide range of objects such as the Moon, planets, and star clusters. The 6mm Plössl eyepiece delivers higher magnification, ideal for viewing fine lunar detail and planetary features when atmospheric conditions are favourable. Both are compatible with any telescope that uses a 1.25" focuser and feature coated optics to improve light transmission and image clarity.
2x Barlow Lens with T-Threads
This versatile 2x Barlow lens instantly doubles the magnification of any 1.25” eyepiece, giving you additional magnification options without the need to purchase more eyepieces.
-
The 15mm eyepiece effectively becomes a 7.5mm, and the 6mm becomes a powerful 3mm.
-
Built-in T-threads allow direct connection of a DSLR camera (T-Ring required), enabling basic astrophotography through your telescope.
This Barlow is a valuable addition for those wanting to experiment with higher magnification and entry-level imaging.
Filters
The kit includes three threaded 1.25” filters that enhance contrast and detail during planetary and lunar observations:
-
#80A Blue Filter – Improves contrast in Jupiter’s cloud belts and Saturn’s polar regions; also effective on the Moon.
-
#25 Red Filter – Enhances detail on Mars and Jupiter by increasing surface contrast; works best with larger aperture telescopes due to reduced light transmission.
-
Moon Filter (Neutral Density) – Reduces lunar brightness for a more comfortable view and enhanced detail, especially useful during full Moon phases. It can also be used to observe Venus’s phases by cutting glare.
Each filter screws easily onto your eyepiece and can be stacked with others as needed.
Microfiber Cleaning Cloth & Carry Case
A reusable microfiber cloth is included to safely remove smudges, fingerprints, and dust from your lenses or filters without scratching or leaving residue. The compact plastic case is lined with custom-cut foam to protect each accessory and keep them neatly organised for transport or storage.
A Valuable Add-on for Any Telescope Owner
The Celestron AstroMaster Accessory Kit is compatible with any telescope that accepts 1.25” eyepieces and is especially well-suited for owners of AstroMaster or PowerSeeker telescopes. It’s the ideal kit for expanding your optical range, increasing contrast for planetary detail, and starting your journey into basic astrophotography—all in one convenient package.
