Digital camera reviews of Celestron Accessory Kit
Digital camera Review: Must buy
Summary: 5 Stars
Great product a must have for beginner telescope users.
When I use the ones that came with my scope I really see a difference.
I use mine with a Celestron astromaster 114eq.
Fit is good. Filters are great.
Thanks,
Digital camera Review: Nice Kit for the Beginner
Summary: 4 Stars
The filters and the aluminum case are the highlight of this kit, and make it worth the money for the beginner. The eyepieces are of medium to low quality; very low eye relief in particular is a prevalent issue with all of the eyepieces. The 6mm and 4mm lenses appear to be the least impressive of the lot. The 9mm and 15mm perform reasonably well. I can't speak to the quality of the 32mm, as exit pupil renders it useless in my scope. The included Barlow lens works reasonably well with the 9mm eyepiece, but the image is quite dark when used in conjunction with both the 4mm and 6mm.
The filters I have used thus far from the kit have been of very acceptable quality, and again these filters and the case itself make the kit worth the money for the beginner. I recommend replacing the higher magnification eyepieces and the Barlow lens with something of better quality as soon as it is economically feasible.
Digital camera Review: Nice value
Summary: 4 Stars
This kit came with a good assortment of eyepieces. I wish they would have included a zoom one but they can be purchased separately. The only filter I've tried is the moon one which is virtually necessary if you plan on viewing it much since it is so bright it hurts your eyes after a while. I bought this kit for use with a telescope that costs a lot less than the kit because eventually I will upgrade to a better scope and be able to use the kit with that. It does improve the images from the scope a great deal and the case is very useful.Digital camera Review: No doubt about it, great deal
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading every review I could lay by hands on, I finally took the plunged and ordered this from Amazon. All I can say is, the reviews are not kidding, an amazing deal. The quality of the eyepieces surprised me at this price, I especially like the 32mm eyepiece, great field of view!. The case is solid, and with extra room for more bits as I get them. I haven't tried the filters yet, but even if they do half what they promise, with everything else in the box I am very happy.Digital camera Review: No single return
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this and found a bad 9mm lens. Neither the seller nor Celestron would replace the lens unless I returned the entire set. If one could pass inspection without being found, I figured I better not chance another set with more or a different lens being bad.
I just decided to eat the cost of the lens.
You'd think a company that makes lens' would have some type of inspection process to see if there were any problems but apparently not.
There's really no alternative to buying this, each lens and filter would cost well over $500 if purchased separately, so take your chances.
