Celestron21024-ACC FirstScope Accessory Kit (Black)

There are few reviews of this product in the net so I'll try to be detailed as possible.The kit came in with a box and inside the hard shell that stores the items. The plastic hard case seems durable enough and the items insides are protected by a die-cut foam.The items:- 2x Power Lens with T-threads- 80A Blue Planetary Filter- 25 Red Planetary Filter- Moon Filter- 15 mm Kellner Eyepiece- 6 mm Plössl Eyepiece- micro fiber cloth1. 2x Power Lens with T-threads (Cost about 40 USD)This is probably the same with this product Celestron Universal T-Adapter 1.25in 93640Good enough for viewing bright objects like the moon and jupiter. I tried all my lens (25 mm and 10 sirius plossl, 15 mm Kellner and 6 mm celestron plossl to viewing the moon and jupiter, the image stays sharp and minimal light loss since the moon was bright.The Barlow lens itself can be removed and attached to you're individual eyepieces giving you a 1.5x magnification - which is a good feature.The barlow has a t-threat so you can attached a t-ring for you dslr - another good feature.For viewing stars and dim object you'll immediately notice that light loss with this 2x barlow. The image starts to get dim and seems like out of focused. 10/22/2012 Although I tried it recently with a 10 mm plossl and I still saw the orion nebula. A gray patch/smoke in the sky. No color but still magnificent =)2. 80A Blue Planetary Filter and 25 Red Planetary Filter (This propably cost 20 USD)Good quality filters, this filter is probably the color mostly used. The housing is metal and threaded on both side so it can be attached to another filter to change the color. (adding the red and blue will just yield a darker red =)) I tried the blue with jupiter and it made the white bands blue (it's better for me to just view it without a filter)3. Moon Filter (Cost 10 USD)Celestron Telescope Moon Filter - 1-1/4" 94119-AHousing is plastic and it fits my other eyepieces but has a problem fitting the 15 mm kellner that came with the kit (don't force it to fit the thread will be ruined) You will view a greenish moon with this filter. I'll post a moon video sample soon. I does indeed help in toning down the brightness and increasing the contrast of the moon.4. 15 mm Kellner EyepieceCelestron 15mm 1.25" Telescope Eyepiece w/ EyeguardGood midrange eyepiece. I view jupiter with this with a 3x barlow and I saw the bands and 4 moons. If you want a affordable eyepiece go for a kellner. Don't be afraid of kellners they are not bad =)5. 6 mm Plössl EyepieceCelestron 6mm 1.25" Plossl Telescope EyepieceOne of the reason I bought this kit is this lens. Good quality eyepiece for high power viewing. It's a plossl. When you buy this alone it will cost about 25 USD half of price of the kit alone. I used this with a 3x barlow to view the moon. The FOV is small but the magnification was great. It pushed my 130mm scope to 325X.6. micro fiber clothA plus for cleaning your eyepieceOverall the kit for me is a great value. If you are starting in astronomy and on a budget this kit is for you. If you buy the items by piece it will cost more than 100 USD.I've read some comments from astronomy forum that they should not bother to buy this because it's cheap. Well if you're on a budget what's included in this kit is very useful. And as always Amazon is great!I'll update this review again if I have other eyepieces, barlow and filters to compare it with.My telescope is the Orion spaceprobe 130st

These are not high end lenses, but they do work well, with good clarity. No regrets in purchasing these. The included Barlow lens helps a lot, and provides crisp views when combined with any lens. If you don’t have a Barlow lens, this is a good package to add more lenses and add the Barlow.

Used MY 25mm on the 2X Barlow that came in the set on my gasker telescope . Nice quality

is a good value for the price, the lenses are sturdy and good quality

I purchased this for the Celestron Powerseeker 80EQ and it has made a wonderful addition to my scope. All three eyepieces are made with good to great quality. The red and blue filters are medium quality, although the moon filter is plastic it does it's job well. My favorite eyepiece is the 15mm and with the blue filter attached i can see the cloud bands of jupiter as well as the big red storm. The 6mm is made better as it is a standard plossl and it is capable of showing planets and brighter galaxies (Andromeda, M81) very well. Also the 2x barlow is great because is contains the threads that can be used for attaching a dslr camera. For you to do this you will need the correct t-ring for your camera. If you only have a standard digital camera you can find the Celestron or Orion universal camera adaptor here on Amazon. I have seen more detail in the moon with my scope and these eyepieces than i could ever draw in my life. If your about to buy a telescope and are looking for more power and better veiws than this is the kit for you. Although i would not use the 6mm eyepiece with any scope under 60mm; due to light loss from to much power. With the celestron powerseeker 80eq the power of these eyepieces are as follows 15mm-60x, 6mm-150x. You can then double the magnification of both eyepieces with the included 2x barlow. Also the barlow can be used with any other eyepieces you may have that are 1.25". To see how much power these eyepieces will give you for your current telescope or one different than mine you use this formula, focal length divided by the size of the eyepiece. Example, my scope has a focal length of 900 so i take 900 and divide it by 15. If i had to do it over i would still purchase this product. I would recomened this for anyone over the age of 8 for a great way of upgrading your telescope.

Perfect fit For celestron Power seeker 127Eq

U simply love it. Has a lot of different lens in it.

While the eyepieces have worked correctly, the carrying case is entirely made of cheap plastic and doesn't work. The plastic hinges snap loudly when you move it, and the worst part is that the case doesn't even close, so it can't be used to carry the eyepieces at all. I tried asking for a replacement but the replacement had the same issue.
