Customer Review: awesome value
Summary: 5 Stars
These eyepieces are a great value and an easy way to try out a variety of sizes. All work very well and are usable on my 4 inch refractor. With my 8 inch SCT the 6mm eyepiece is hard to use but that is to be expected unless the conditions are very good. If you wear glasses the eye relief can be a problem, I had to put my contacts in to make observing easier.
I don't like using colored filters so the included ones are pretty worthless to me. However, the included moon filter is great and works very very well especially during a full moon. The included case is also very good.
This is a great little package. It will allow you to find the eyepieces you use most and then invest in 1 or 2 really good pieces of glass.
Customer Review: Great under 100 ! 5stars for the price!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Most of the stores offer it for around $199 here for 100$, isn't it great?! Well it is a good kit for the price. It is a good kit for the beginner. You'll get excellent quality case and average (closer to low) quality eyepieces, so later when you get rid of "bad" eyepieces you'll have a case to put good ones. The 32mm one has something about 40 degrees of view filed, wish is so-so, other ones below 15 mm it's just a joke.
I'll advice you to get Celestron X-Cel or Omni, if you want to spend more money and get better stuff try Ultima or Axiom, and if you are really serious about your hobby, get TeleVue.
Average price for a good eyepiece is from $79-$350
Amazon offers most of them.
Customer Review: Good value
Summary: 5 Stars
While the supplied eyepieces aren't of the same quality of, say, TeleVue plossls, they are nonetheless good generic symmetricals (most "plossls" are not true Plossls) of the sort that would ordinarily cost you about twice what this set sells for- and you get filters and a case, to boot! The whole set would typically sell for about three times what Celestron is asking here. I'd recommend this set, along with a good 6" Dobsonian reflector from Celestron or another quality vendor, as an excellent beginner's outfit. If you already have a decent beginner's scope that takes 1-1/4" eyepieces, this set will provide you with all the eyepieces you're likely to need for some time.Customer Review: Celestron Lens and Filter Kit
Summary: 5 Stars
This was a bargain. For the backyard astronomer that wants to get a better view of the sky at night, this is a must. With a wide variety of lenses and filters , the night sky reveals itself with details that were not available with the standard lenses available with the telescope package. And it does it for less than 110.00 dollars. You get 5 lenses a barlow and 7 filters. The price of two lenses are that. And it comes in a nice metal case that protects each lens. If you want to view the night sky and get spectacular views, this is the accessory that is needed. Makes even the economy telescope perform better.Customer Review: Great Deal
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this with my 6SE and am finding it a valuable accessory. The images I get from the eyepieces are clear. I use mainly the 32mmm and 15mm with and without the 2X Barlow. The other 3 eyepieces are less comfortable to use because of the minimal eye relief. The filter collection covers virtually anything I would want to do except the sun. The case has room enough for the 27mm eyepiece that came with the scope plus the star diagonal and a builders bulls eye level. There would also be room for the star finder if I wished to pack it. A quality product.
