Good intro into the world of eyepices. - Review by Michael
Before buying this set I had no idea what so ever about the world of eyepices and how vastly broad it is. Now I'm beginning to understand the characteristics of kelners and plossls, the pros and cons of observing in hi power and low power and knowing what it means to change the focal lengh of my scope by useing the Barlow or "doubling" lense.... And that was only two weeks ago.
Because I am at the most early stage of my hobby I cannot honestly review the set based on the visual quality albeit things look really cool through my astromaster 130eq but what I can say is the wealth of knowlege that I am gaining by using this kit is invaluable to me as has deepened my interest in astronomy as well as teaching me the basics enough so to aid me in making a more informed decision when I'm ready to upgrade.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q:
We have recently purchased a 70WQ CELESTRON T/Scope and we are after a case for the lense etc. Can you please confirm asap if either the CEL-94307 OR CEL-94306 will suite and how we go about placing an order please?
A:
The two kits should be suitable, as long as your current telescope uses 1.25" eyepieces. I believe that your telescope, the 70EQ should be a Astromaster series? (http://www.ozscopes.com.au/refractor-telescope-celestron-astromaster-70eq.html). If so you can opt for this one (http://www.ozscopes.com.au/celestron-astromaster-eyepiece-and-filter-kit.html) as it is specifically designed for the Celestron Astromaster range.

Q:
Can you get a DVD on finding the planets and where to look?
A:
Unfortunately, we don't stock any DVDs at the moment and only have astronomy books/charts/calendars on our site (http://www.ozscopes.com.au/accessories/books-and-star-charts).
You can, however, check out Astrovisuals for DVDs (http://www.astrovisuals.com.au/DVDs.html), though they don't seem to have any on how to actually find the planets.
If you were after something more interactive as opposed to just a book, you could try getting an interactive night sky map. It works online and you can find one here: http://www.astroviewer.com/interactive-night-sky-map.php?PHPSESSID=oi4cjd2drj0fg0g19me8i1of96.
But so far, I haven't come across any CD or DVD on finding the planets and where to look. Most telescopes, such as those by Celestron and Saxon do come with their own CDs that have computerised sky maps, an objects database, and other astronomy information. If you want to, you can try looking online to see if anyone is selling these CDs that usually come with the telescopes.
