Our 2´´ Light Pollution Reduction (LPR) Filters are designed to selectively reduce the transmission of certain wavelengths of light, specifically those produced by artificial light. This includes mercury vapor, and both high and low pressure sodium vapor lights and the unwanted natural light caused by neutral oxygen emission in our atmosphere (i.e. sky glow).The ultra high contrast (UHC) LPR filter has improved contrast over the typical broadband filters. Sky background is darker, and contrast of emission nebulae are noticeably improved. The advanced technology coatings enable the filter to achieve an outstanding transmission of over 97% across the entire bandpass, with total blockage of prominent li…

A Visual Back is a metal adapter that screws onto the standard rear cell threads of Schmidt-Cassegrain and Maksutov-Cassegrain telescopes and accepts 1.25 accessories, including diagonals, eyepieces (for straight-through viewing), Barlows, webcams, and any other accessory with a 1.25 insert barrel.All Celestron 5, 6, 8, 9.25 and 11 Schmidt-Cassegrains come standard with the 1.25 Visual Back.Features:- Threads onto the rear of Celestron 5 - 11 Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes.- Accepts any accessory with a 1.25 insert barrel, including diagonals, eyepieces, Barlows, and other adapters

You have your new telescope and have observed Saturn and Jupiter. Now you´re ready to take the next step and start imaging them. But where do you begin? The Celestron NexImage 10 Solar System Imager is the perfect solution.The NexImage 10 is our first NexImage series camera to incorporate USB 3.0 SuperSpeed! With more than ten million pixels coupled with high speed data transmission, the NexImage 10 produces clear and detailed planetary images like never before. With super small 1.67µm pixels, smaller telescopes with shorter focal lengths are still going to yield tremendous planetary detail. It's one of the best valued, high-res USB 3 planetary imaging cameras on the market. Best of all, NexImage in…

The NexGO Universal Smartphone Adapter is a great first step into the world of astroimaging or digiscoping. The NexGO provides you everything you need to capture sharp, detailed images and video.NexGO fits any eyepiece from 25.4mm (1.0) to 44.45mm (1.75) in diameter, including most telescopes with 1.25 eyepieces, spotting scopes, monoculars, binoculars, and microscopes.NexGO accommodates a wide range of smartphones including the latest devices from Apple, Samsung, and Google. The phone platform is fully adjustable and can fit any device—usually with the case still on. For older phones that are 5 tall or less, the NexGO includes a booster to ensure the fit with the device.Precise Alignment:- Th…

The Neutral Density Moon Filter attaches to a 1.25 eyepiece to lower the amount of light entering the eyepiece by 87%. The Moon is one of the most viewed objects in the sky, but you shouldn't be deprived of its features due to brightness. This filter only allows 13% of the telescope's light to reach the eyepiece, making it a lot more comfortable to view. Unlike color filters, the Neutral Density Moon filter affects all colors of the visible spectrum evenly, darkening the image without shifting the color. Some Moon filters are #58 Green filters, and while they work well for cutting glare, they also add an unnatural green cast to the Moon's surface. The Neutral Density Moon filter gives a true …

The Celestron StarPointer Finderscope is the way to go if you want the easiest way possible to locate an object and center it in your eyepiece.A red dot finder, unlike an optical finder, has 1x magnification, displays a super wide field of view, and keeps the sky right side up and left-to-right correct, matching what you see with your unaided eyes. An LED creates a red dot, superimposed on a viewing screen, so you simply point the StarPointer to the area or object you wish to observe, look through your eyepiece, and if properly aligned, the area in and around place you pointed the red dot will be centered in the field of view.If you like the idea of having some magnification, try installing …

Colored filters can be used to bring out details on a planet's surface or its cloud structure. All of the planetary filters included in the Celestron Lunar and Planetary Filter Set can be used on any 1.25 eyepiece with the proper filter threads, so they are very versatile. Just screw one onto the eyepiece of choice and slide it into the focuser.This Celestron filter set includes the following colors:- 12 Deep Yellow - A good general purpose filter for smaller aperture telescopes (less than 4.5), the #12 Yellow will improve the contrast of features on the Moon. It will also help you see the equatorial belts on Jupiter and Saturn, clouds and the polar ice caps on Mars, and the dusky detail on …

The Celestron 1.25 Star Diagonal slides into the focuser (1.25) of your refractor or catadioptric telescope and accepts standard 1.25 eyepieces, allowing you to view objects more comfortably. A diagonal that is angled at 90º helps avoid neck strain when looking through through the eyepiece.Features: - Fits telescopes with 1.25 focusers or visual backs, 90° viewing angle, best for observing objects overhead- Accepts standard 1.25 eyepieces, Barlow lenses, and other accessories with a 1.25 insert barrel

This easy-to-install RA motor drive compensates for the Earth’s rotation, so the telescope tracks a star’s movement through the night sky from east to west. When the telescope mount is properly polar aligned and the RA drive is attached and running, the user need only make occasional adjustments in declination to keep an object in the eyepiece for long periods of time.
