Details
The Celestron FirstScope Accessory Kit expands the capabilities of your FirstScope telescope to make it more enjoyable and easier to use, enhance your views of the night sky, and make it safer to transport wherever you go.

Accessory Kit Includes:

- 12.5 mm Eyepiece – 1.25" – Increases the power to 24x which makes it easier to find and observe some objects that require more magnification.
- 6 mm Eyepiece – 1.25" – This eyepiece increases the power to 50x which boosts the magnification up higher to see more detail of faint objects.
- Moon Filter – 1.25" – A moon filter reduces the brightness of the moon and improves contrast so that greater detail can be observed on the lunar surface. The filter has threads on it which screw into the bottom of the eyepieces.
- 5x24 Finderscope & bracket – This finderscope with bracket will make it easier to locate astronomical objects with the FirstScope telescope because of its much wider field of view and low magnification. Installation is simple with no tools necessary.
- CD-ROM – "The SkyX" – Lets you explore and develop an understanding of basic astronomy. This full featured planetarium software is capable of printing star charts, displaying beautiful astronomical photos, helps you to identify planets and stars, learn the constellations, and much more. Operating Systems: Windows XP and Vista, as well as Mac OS 10.4.8 and later.
- Nylon Carrying Bag for FirstScope Telescope – Pack your FirstScope telescope and accessories in this tote bag for easy and safe transportation.

good addition to the firstscope - Review by Damian
Overall Score
i bought this pack as the price for a finderscope, moon filter and two additional eyepieces was hard to refuse. the finderscope has helped me alot but due to the small size of the firstscope telescope using it is a bit cumbersome, but that said all finderscopes would be hard to use on such a small scope.

the lenses are a nice addition and the moon filter helps dim down the moon and bring out alot more surface detail on the craters. (Posted on 2/12/11)

Pros: price, portability

Cheaply made, plastic not great but better than no spotter at all - Review by Guy in Sydney
Overall Score
Personally I believe this is way overpriced at the listed $49.00.

However, if you you want a spotter scope for a Celestron First Scope then .....

It is 100% plastic, doesn't focus very well and is hard (virtually impossible) to align precisely with the scope, but it does work.

If you are using a 4mm lense on the scope this does make it a lot easier. And although you probably won't see your subject in the lense once you've aligned it with the spotter scope, it will be close by and I've found generally easy to locate.

If you have a First Scope and are looking at stars, this will make it a lot easier. (Posted on 27/05/11)

Pros: light weight
Cons: focus mechanism, Doesn't focus real well

Frequently Asked Questions

Q:
How come these Celstron eyepieces etc won't fit the TASCO, but the $389 kit of Celestron bits and bobs will fit the Tasco? Isn't it all about the 1.25" diameter? Or is there something else that determines 'fit'?
A:
This kit will work with a Tasco Telescope. Any telescope which uses 1.25" Eyepieces will be supported by this kit.
Q:
Will the Celestron first scope accessory kit fit my Tasco telescope?
A:
Unfortunately, the First Scope Accessory Kit only fits the Celestron First Scope. If you after additional eyepieces and filters for your Tasco telescope, you could look at something the Celestron Eyepiece and Filter kit which can be found on our website here:
