Astromania Accessory Kit for Telescopes

The Accessory Kit includes a range of useful 1.25-inch accessories for every standard entry-level telescope. The set expands the magnification range, allowing you to discover more details in your observations. It's particularly useful for getting started in planetary observing, helping to increase the contrast when viewing features like Mars' polar caps or Jupiter's bands.

At the heart of the kit is a 2X Barlow lens, which can double the magnification of any eyepiece you use. This makes it easy to get closer views of celestial objects. The Barlow lens also has a built-in T-thread, enabling you to attach a camera and capture impressive Moon photos.

To enhance your views of the planets, the kit includes two specialist filters. The blue planetary filter improves the visibility of Jupiter's Great Red Spot, clarifies the polar ice caps of Mars, and enhances the contrast between the belts and zones of Saturn. Meanwhile, the red planetary filter brings out the beauty of Venus during the day and Mercury at twilight, by minimizing the brightness of the blue sky.

For observing the Moon, the kit provides a moon filter that reduces the brightness and improves the contrast, allowing you to see greater detail, especially during the brighter lunar phases. The filter has a clear aperture of 21mm and a transmission of around 18%.

The kit is rounded out with two high-quality eyepieces. The 15mm Kellner and 6mm Plössl eyepieces provide a range of magnifications to suit different observing conditions and objects.

To keep everything organized and protected, the accessories are housed in a sturdy black plastic carry case, with die-cut foam inserts to hold each item securely in place. This ensures your equipment remains in pristine condition, ready for your next observing session.

Completing the kit is a high-quality microfiber cleaning cloth. Unlike regular wipes or tissues, the microfiber cloth will not leave any residue on your optics. Before using the cloth, be sure to first blow or brush away any dust particles from the lenses or mirrors, to avoid scratching.

In summary, this Accessory Kit provides a comprehensive set of tools to enhance your telescope observing experience. From increased magnification and improved planetary views to safer lens cleaning, it has everything you need to get the most out of your entry-level telescope.
