Celestron 2" Eyepiece and Filter Kit

Celestron 2" Eyepiece and Filter Kit

The Celestron 2" Eyepiece and Filter Kit delivers wide field views with Celestron 2” Eyepiece and Filter Kit. It’s a great way to expand the functionality and enjoyment of your telescope. 

Compability

The Eyepiece and Filter Kit is compatible with Schmidt-Cassegrain or a refractor that sports a 2” focuser. Newtonian owners can use everything except the 2” Mirror Diagonal, as long as the focuser accepts 2” accessories. 

Inside the metal, foam-lined carry case you’ll find these accessories:

• 90º Mirror Diagonal - 2” to SCT
• Diagonal Adapter for Refractors - 2”
• 26 mm E-Lux Eyepiece - 2”
• 32 mm E-Lux Eyepiece - 2”
• 40 mm E-Lux Eyepiece - 2”
• 2X Barlow Lens - 2”
• #80A Blue Filter - 2”
• #58 Green Filter - 2”
• #25 Red Filter - 2”
• #21 Orange Filter - 2”
• #12 Deep Yellow Filter - 2”

Eyepieces 

All three Celestron E-Lux eyepieces can be used in any telescope with a 2” focuser. Each eyepiece features a three-element design with a 56º apparent field of view (40 mm has a 50º field of view). The optics are fully multi-coated to improve light transmission and protect the optics. The 40 mm E-Lux eyepiece offers the lowest power option, for those times when you need all the light-gathering your telescope can offer to see faint deep-sky objects. The 26 mm and 32 mm focal lengths provide a bit more magnification. Experiment on your favorite objects to see which you like best.

2X Barlow Lens 

The included, and very versatile 2X Barlow doubles the magnification of any 2” eyepiece, or, you can drop in a 2” to 1.25” adapter (not included), and use your 1.25” eyepieces in it as well. Since this kit includes three 2” eyepieces, you will be able to use them with and without the Barlow, giving you a total of six magnification options in all. Get the benefit of a 2” barrel with the magnification normally reserved for 1.25” eyepieces. The 40 mm will magnify like a 20 mm, the 32 mm like a 16 mm, and the 26 mm will do the work of a 13 mm.

Filters 

Colored filters bring out details on a planet’s surface or its cloud structure. All of the planetary filters included in the Eyepiece and Accessory Kit can be used on any 2” eyepiece or accessory with the proper filter threads, so they are very versatile. Just screw one onto your eyepiece of choice and slide it into the focuser. 

Metal Case

The sturdy metal carry case has die-cut foam inside to protect and cushion your accessories. Keep each one in its appointed place when not in use and you’ll keep them looking and performing like new.
