CELESTRON PowerSeeker 60EQ Refractor Telescope + PowerSeeker Accessory Kit Refracting Telescope(Manual Tracking)

PowerSeeker telescopes are a great way to open up the wonders of the Universe to the aspiring astronomer! The Celestron PowerSeeker Accessory Kit is a great way to expand the enjoyment of your telescope. Inside the plastic, foam-lined carry case you'll find these accessories: 15 mm Kellner Eyepiece - 1.25" 9 mm Kellner Eyepiece - 1.25" #80A Blue Filter - 1.25" #25 Red Filter - 1.25" Moon Filter - 1.25" Microfiber Cleaning Cloth 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. Filters - Colored filters can be used to bring out certain details on a planet's surface or its cloud structure. Both planetary filters, as well as the Moon filter, can be used on any 1.25" eyepiece with the proper filter threads, so they are very versatile. Just screw one onto your eyepiece of choice and slide it into the focuser. 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 also can be used to increase contrast on the Moon if you don't mind the color shift. The #25 filter is a deep red color and is a good choice when you want to define the polar ice caps on Mars. It's also fun to use this filter when observing Jupiter. The #25 Red filter blocks quite a bit of light coming through your telescope, however, so it is best used on bright objects with larger aperture telescopes. The Moon filter is one of the first accessories most new amateur astronomers buy, and for good reason! It helps block out a portion of the light the Moon sends into your eyepiece so that you can see details better. You can also try this filter on Venus; it hels you see which phase she's in.
