Digital camera reviews of Celestron Accessory Kit
Digital camera Review: Good deal for the money.
Summary: 4 Stars
Good eyepieces for the money. They aren't the end-all, be-all top of the line, but they do the job just fine. And considering you can easily spend three times as much by buying them individually, you really can't beat this deal.Digital camera Review: Good set for the money
Summary: 5 Stars
I haven't compared these to more expensive models too much. I did do a side by side comparison one night, and while there was a difference, I didn't see too significant an improvement in the more expensive one. I am new to the hobby, and I am discovering each night out that I've missed a lot on previous nights. As I get better at viewing, the differences might become more profound. But as for now, I am very happy with the value.Digital camera Review: Good value
Summary: 4 Stars
The eyepieces are much better that the ones that come with the Celestron FirstScope. You can make room inside the case for other accesories.Digital camera 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.Digital camera 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
