Questions & Answers

What is the compatibility of this kit with Cosmos Firstscope?

The eyepiece of a telescope comes in two sizes one for the eyes, one for the head. It has a diameter of 25" and a depth of There are 1 pieces in this kit. They have an outside diameter of 25" and are pretty standard, so they fit any telescope with a 1.25" aperture. Therefore, if cosmos firstscope accepts 1, then the scope values should be If your eyepieces are 25", then yes, this kit should work.

Were we able to get a better image with this than we did with the Astromaster 70AZ ?

The answer is yes. However, the outcome depends on a number of factors.

It will work with the Orion SkyQuest XT6 telescope, right?

As I mentioned above, I have an Orion skyquest 8 and a 2" to 1 1/4" adapter that came with the scope fits perfectly.

My AstroMaster 114 EQ is equipped with this. Will it work? What about the eyepiece? Does it have a 32mm diameter?

A majority of consumer grade Celestron, Meade, and Orion scopes are designed for eyepieces with a diameter of 1 and 1/4 inches. You can therefore consider it as part of

The second half of the question is what kind of views will you get? For this to be answered in part, I think you need to understand your scope As well as the size and quality of the primary mirror, it impacts the rest of the answer. In order to figure out how much power/magnification you will receive with a given eyepiece, you need to multiply the focal length by the eyepiece's size. As an example, if your scope is a 2000mm focal length and you get a 10mm, divide 2000/10 and in that case you get No scope can be pushed to its limit until it has been sized and the optics are of high quality. It helps to use Barlow lenses with small diameter eyepieces, but if you push it too far, all you will see are blobs with no sharp resolution. Starter sets like this are good for young children. In my experience, I have found it enjoyable to use.

Selected User Reviews For Celestron AstroMaster Telescope Accessory Kit

There is no comparison between the 15mm one and the one that came with the original scope
4/5

After reviewing it for the first time, I gave it four stars, but this may change with further viewings. The basics are as follows Please note With the 15mm eyepiece, I get a much better view than with the 20mm eyepiece that came with the original scope (Powerseeker 114eq). That was an interesting relief, and the detail was much better than I expected. Please note The quality of the product is not yet clear to me. The following - This x3 barlow is great, and with the x2 barlow I can use the four I already have (20mm, 15mm, 6mm, 4mm) much more often. Though I have not tested the 15mm with a x2, and x3, I believe this combination might bridge the gap between this and a 6mm eyepiece. Please note There is nothing wrong with filters, unless you want to do photography. A moon filter is nice, but the moon is VERY distracting. I will rant for a few minutes about I have a general concern with some of those optics I feel that it's a lot like what printer vendors do when they configure a printer On the contrary, ink is what they sell for a lot of money, plus printers. There are some problems with the optics of this scope. In 4mm it's almost unusable, and I actually over-barllowed it to achieve acceptable relief, but it's still not ideal. I don't really care for the 20mm. If you are not willing to shell out a lot of cash on a high end set, get this one. But after getting it, I KNOW I will use the x2 barlow for zooming in on objects and the 15mm most of the time.

This is a cool kit! Adding this kit to your collection will give you a lot of This kit is a great way to hold you over until you get a better set of high-quality I would say it's well worth the price for the barlow, the moon filter, and the 15mm lens alone,

The addition of AstroMaster 130 is acceptable
4/5

The reason I bought this set was to have two additional lenses, the Barlow, and My experience after using this for a couple nights has proven that the filters are really not very effective. It seems that they are plastic films made with cheap materials. It is okay to use the Moon filter to reduce glare from the Moon. As far as I can tell, the lenses work properly, and the Barlow seems to work The filters are the main problem I have with the program.

There is an unpleasant green tint to the moon filter, like others here have reported
4/5

Generally an OK kit for the money, but I haven't had the opportunity to test the red or blue filters, and the moon has an unflattering green hue, as others here have noted. NOTE As displayed in the instructions that came with my kit, a picture shows a 2x Doubling Lens installed BEHIND the tube and the angled right angle "Erect Image Optics" piece included with the telescope. This is in error. I could not get this to fit and did not understand why it was not fitting until I saw a manufacturer's YouTube video showing how to mount the doubling lens between the eyepiece and I would give the instruction one (1) star if I could in light of the lack of information and incorrect.

This is a wonderfully small This is a wonderfully small As for the filters, they have proven to be a great asset and the starter kit makes a great addition for anyone who wants to expand their stock selection from the scope they While they are not the best pieces I have ever seen, they are more than enough for me to learn about different filters and magnifications, and I have no complaints about them yet

The item looks excellent, and the construction is good
5/5

I have not yet tested it since I have a Celestron C-type scope. It has arrived at my house and I have also ordered a Celestron CPC 800 telescope. I am waiting to receive my T ring adapter to use in my Canon cameras. As soon as I have everything set up, On my C-70 I took a lot of wonderful pictures of the moon There is a lot of presentation on this Celestron AstroMaster- it comes in a box and case where the pieces are set in foam and are protected very efficiently! There are two eyepieces that give me the best effect, the most powerful of which is the 6mm At magnification of 208x, 90 is a magnified image. (Division of the focal lens by the power lens is the focal length of the telescope. C is the case here Divide 1250 by 6 to get 90 - that's 208. There are six For the price you pay for this Celestron accessory, you cannot buy these pieces separately at the price for the Celestron accessory. I recommend it!.

The value for money is good
4/5

In terms of value for money, it's a good kit. This is my first time and I want the T-shirt This lens has a barlow ring as well. This tinted red lens is of no use to you. It works well to use the moon and the blue. It's not a bad addition to the kit, the two eye pieces are not that bad.

This is well worth your time
5/5

The price is reasonable and the product is good for beginners. It would be nice if there was a way to connect straps to the case so that it could be transported and stored easily. A high level of quality is evident in the optics. If you want to view a full moon, the moon filter will make a huge difference. This makes it much easier to make out detail and is less straining on the eyes.
