AstroMaster Accessory Kit for Celestron AstroMaster EQ Telescopes'What accessories do I need for my Celestron AstroMaster?' It is true that most telescopes come with the components necessary to use it 'out of the box', but in our experience, there are a few extras in this Celestron AstroMaster Telescope Accessory Kit that will really enhance your enjoyment of astronomy, and that's what it's all about! Our first recommendation for your new Celestron AstroMaster telescope is to obtain an extra eyepiece or two. Most amateur astronomers have between three & five eyepieces in their observing arsenal, from models that provide low power, wide angle views of deep space to high power views of the moon & planets. Together with the 10 mm & 20 mm eyepieces included with the AstroMaster telescope, you will have a total of three different magnifications to choose from. The Apertura 32mm Plossl has a chrome barrel that is threaded for 1.25' filters, and will give you medium power views. - Another no-brainer accessory for any equatorially mounted Celestron AstroMaster telescope is a motor drive. Without the drive, the user manually adjusts the AstroMaster telescope in both right ascension and declination (east/west and north/south movements) with the slow-motion control knobs as the Earth rotates and objects drift across the sky. If you add a motor drive to the right ascension gear of the AstroMaster, then the majority of the movements necessary will be taken care of automatically. Now all you have to worry about is making adjustments in declination (north/south) occasionally to keep an object in your eyepiece for long periods of time. - A Celestron 93514 Motor Drive is included in this AstroMaster Accessory Bundle. It is easy to install and operate, and will add functionality to your telescope that you will really appreciate, especially when observing fast-moving objects like the Moon or planets. - When observing bright objects like the Moon or Venus, you will find that you need to cut the light coming to your eye a little bit in order to see details better. You'll be amazed at how bright the Moon is through a telescope, and if you don't have a Moon Filter handy, you will be tempted to put on your sunglasses! Put your sunglasses away, because the Celestron AstroMaster Accessory Kit includes a finely crafted High Point 1.25' Moon Filter. To use it, simply thread this neutral density filter onto the barrel of any 1.25 eyepiece, including the 32 mm Plossl included in this kit. Now you can observe the Moon without being blinded by the light, and you'll see more details, too. - More About the Celestron Motor Drive - Add this small, easy-to-install motor drive to your Celestron AstroMaster equatorial mount and your telescope will automatically track the stars as they move from east to west through the sky. The Celestron 93514 Motor Drive will also work with any set-up that uses a Celestron CG-2 or CG-3 equatorial mount. When the telescope mount is properly polar aligned and the RA drive is attached and running, you will only be required to make occasional adjustments in declination (north/south movements) to keep an object in the eyepiece for long periods
