Celestron Astromaster Accessory Kit by Celestron

Celestron Astromaster Accessory Kit
The 1.25″” Celestron AstroMaster Kit contains a vast selection of key observational accessories to take your stargazing to the next level. The two available eyepieces produce both medium and high magnifications in the majority of telescopes, whilst the Barlow lens doubles the magnification of the eyepiece. The included Red and Blue planetary filters stand as two of the most popular coloured filters used within astronomy. They work by enhancing and highlighting specific areas of Jupiter, Mars, Mercury, Saturn, Venus, and even larger comets. For an upgraded and safer view of the closest celestial object to Earth, a Moon filter is also included that actively reduces glare and intensifies contrast on the surface. All accessories can then be housed in the hard plastic case, which is made up of custom-cut foam lining to suit each individual observational tool.

Celestron 2x Barlow Lens With T-adaptor by Celestron

Celestron 2x Barlow Lens With T-adaptor
The Celestron 2x Barlow lens with T-Adaptor can be used three ways: as a 2X Barlow for visual use, as a prime focus T-adapter, or as a “”Barlowed”” T-adapter for double the magnification and the benefit of extra inward focus travel. Insert any 1.25″” eyepiece into the chamber and you’ll enjoy double the magnification, while retaining all the eye relief of the inserted eyepiece. The Celestron Universal Barlow and T-Adapter can also be used for prime focus photography, which means you use the telescope as a photographic lens.

John Lewis Telescopes

Whilst I was searching lately for a new Skywatcher telescope I was amazed to see that John Lewis appeared in the lists on Google. So I had to have a look, John Lewis now sell telescopes. They don’t sell too many, about 7 in total. Maybe telescopes are becoming mainstream, maybe it’s the Brian Cox effect?

John Lewis currently stock the following telescopes:

• Celestron Reflector 114
• Celestron Firstscope
• Celestron Astromaster 130EQ
• Celestron Travelscope
• Celestron Astromaster 76EQ

Still a great Christmas present for the budding astronomer and a great place to start.
