Eyepieces 

- An assortment of  eyepieces are available to give you a wide range of magnifications. 

 

• 

Plössl

  -

 

Plössl eyepieces have a 4-element lens designed for low-to-high 

power observing.  The Plössls offer razor sharp views across the entire 
field, even at the edges!  In the 1-1/4" barrel diameter, they are available in 
the following focal lengths:  6.3mm, 7.5mm, 10mm, 12.5mm, 17mm, 
20mm, 26mm, 32mm and 40mm.  

 

• 

Ultima 

- Ultima is not really a design, but a trade name for our 5-element, 

wide field eyepieces.  In the 1-1/4" barrel diameter, they are available in 
the following focal lengths:  5mm, 7.5mm, 12.5mm, 18mm, 24mm, 30mm, 
35mm, and 42mm.  These eyepieces are all parfocal.  The 35mm Ultima 
gives the widest possible field of view with a 1-1/4" diagonal. 

 

Eyepiece filters

 - To enhance your visual observations, individual filters and 

sets are available for 1¼" eyepieces. 
 

Flashlights

 -

 Celestron’s #93592 and #93588 

LED (light emitting diode) flashlights conveniently allow 

you to read star maps without diminishing your night vision.  Both feature adjustable brightness and are 
small and lightweight, (#93592 is only 6 inches long, and weighs in at a mere 3 ounces). 

 
Light Pollution Reduction (LPR) Filter (#94126A)

  - A 1¼" filter that threads into a 1¼" eyepiece, 

designed to enhance your views of deep-sky astronomical objects when observed from urban areas.  The 
LPR filter selectively reduces the transmission of certain wavelengths of light, specifically those produced 
by artificial lights.  This includes mercury, and high and low pressure sodium vapor lights.  Additionally, it 
blocks unwanted natural light (also known as sky glow).   
 

Motor Drive (#93515, #93510)

 - Motor drives compensate for the earth's rotation keeping an object in the eyepiece 

field of view.  This makes observing much more enjoyable and eliminates the constant use of the manual cables. 
Models available for all equatorial mounts. 

 

Sky Maps (#93722)

 - When learning the night sky, 

Celestron

 Sky Maps offer just the guidance you need.  

The maps show all the constellations and brighter deep-sky objects and are printed on heavy, moisture-
resistant paper for durability.  The front cover features a rotating planisphere, indicating when specific 
constellations are visible. 

 
Solar Filters - Celestron’s  

AstroSolar solar filters permit completely safe, direct observation of the sun.  

This filter, which transmits .001% of visible light, allows sunspots to be seen as they move across the solar 
disk.  While reducing the intensity of the sun's visible light, it also blocks 99.999% of invisible infrared 
light.  The solar filter is made of precision engineered Mylar polyester film.  A layer of aluminum is 
vacuum-deposited on one surface of the dual sheets of Mylar used to make each filter.  This aluminum 
coating produces a cool, comfortable, pale blue image of the sun.  A #21 orange eyepiece filter works well 
in conjunction with the AstroSolar  filter to produce a more naturally colored image of the sun.  

 

Peterson First Guides® - Astronomy 

A simplified field guide to the stars, the planets and the universe featuring full color maps showing the positions of 
the stars throughout the year.  This useful guide also includes beautiful constellation paintings, photographs, and 
clear, concise descriptions of stars, the planets, the sun, the moon, comets, black holes, galaxies and more. 
 

Planisphere (#93720) - 

A colorful rotating star map that indicates when specific constellations are visible,  

with removable markers for tracking the movement of planets.  Available in three different latitudes: 30°, 40°,  
and 50° 

 all ±10°. 

A full description of all Celestron accessories can be found in the Celestron Accessory Catalog (#93685).
