32mm – Offers bright, expansive views, perfect for scanning open clusters and large deep-sky objects.
-
17mm & 13mm – Great for lunar and planetary detail at moderate magnification.
-
8mm & 6mm – High magnification for close-up views of Saturn’s rings, Jupiter’s cloud bands, and lunar crater details.
2x Barlow Lens: Multiply Your Options
This powerful accessory doubles the magnification of any 1.25” eyepiece, giving you a total of ten magnification combinations from just five eyepieces. You can also use it with any other 1.25” eyepieces you already own, expanding your observational range even further.
Tip: Higher magnification isn’t always better—results depend on your telescope’s aperture and atmospheric seeing conditions. Experiment to find your optimal power for each night.
Colour Filters: Reveal Hidden Planetary Detail
Colour filters thread directly onto your 1.25” eyepieces to enhance contrast and reveal subtle planetary features:
-
#12 Deep Yellow – Brings out detail in Saturn’s and Jupiter’s belts
-
#21 Orange – Increases contrast on the Martian surface
-
#25 Red – Improves visibility of Martian polar caps
-
#56 Light Green & #58 Green – Excellent for lunar contrast and Saturn’s rings
-
#80A Blue – Highlights Jupiter’s Great Red Spot and enhances cloud detail
Moon Filter: Comfortable Lunar Viewing
A must-have for all lunar observers, the neutral-density Moon filter reduces glare and eye fatigue during bright phases, allowing you to see surface detail more clearly. It also helps when viewing bright planets like Venus, especially during its crescent phases.
Rugged Carry Case: Protect and Organise
The aluminium carry case features custom-cut foam to keep each component protected during storage and transport. There’s even extra room to add a few more accessories—perfect for growing collections.
