Customer reviews

Very good set.
For this price, this set of lenses and filters is a VERY good buy. Haven't used the filters as much, but all the lenses are pretty neat. The Aluminum case is very compact and has a good feel to it. I'm an amateur star-gazer, and this was my first buy after purchasing the telescope. Next on the list is a solar filter.

Highly recommend this.

fantastic for the price
this is the best deal on the web i have found for the money and investment. Thanks for the great deal.

Must buy
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,

Great Kit!
I bought this kit the same day I purchased my first telescope. The eyepiece options I have now ensure that I always have the best view. The quality is good, and the color filters really bring out features on Jupiter and Saturn. The moon filter works good as well. The one thing I use the least is probably the Barlow. The case is well made and holds the two eyepieces that came with my scope (10mm and 25mm). This is a great kit and a great value, do yourself a favor and get it.

A good starter kit.
This kit offers a nice, and inexpensive, selection of eyepieces so that you can figure out which ones work the best with your telescope and viewing habits. Once you have that figured out then you should buy some some quality eyepieces that suit your needs as, other than having eye cups, I really don't think these are of any better quality than the ones that came with my Celestron scope. The filters don't work well on my 4.5 inch scope, as they darken things down a bit too much, but if your scope has more light gathering ability I am sure they would work fine. The case is well constricted and has plenty of room to cut holes in the foam for add ons. Overall, I would say that this is a beginners essential need as a learning tool if nothing else.
