See below for a detailed description of the eyepieces/filters.
About the 26, 32 and 38mm eyepieces:
- Six elements design
- 70 degree image
- High quality / fully multi-coated
- Maximizes the magnification of your telescope
- The maximum magnification can be calculated by dividing the focal length of your telescope by the focal length of the eyepiece.
- Suitable for telescopes that accept 2 inch eyepieces
About the Barlow Lens:
- Increases your magnification by 2x
- Works with any 2 inch eyepiece
- Works with telescopes that accept 2 inch eyepieces
Filters
The set includes a polar filter (number 3) which can be used for:
- Increasing contrast between lunar features of different brightness
- Increasing contrast between surfaces with different planetary transmissions
- Making blue skies a deeper blue
- Eliminating surface reflections
- Reducing atmospheric haze
The set includes a yellow filter (number 12) which can be used for:
- The Moon, to increase the contrast between lunar features in different light conditions
- Venus, to see the contrast of the thick Venus cloud in good lighting conditions
- Mars, to increase the contrast of the polar caps, frozen areas and low clouds.
- Jupiter, to darken atmospheric currents
The set includes an orange filter (number 21) which can be used for:
- The Moon, to increase the contrast between lunar features
- Mercury, to decrease the light intensity of the observation when observing in the daytime
- Mercury, to decrease the light intensity of the observation when observing in the daytime
- Mars, to increase the contrast of the polar caps, frozen areas and low clouds
- Jupiter, to better observe the belt structure
- Saturn, to better see the structure of the atmospheric bands
The set includes a red filter (number 23A) that can be used for:
- The Moon, to enhance the contrast of lunar features
- Mercury, to improve observations when Mercury is in the twilight zone
- Venus, to reduce light intensity during observations in the daytime
- Mars, to improve contrast of polar caps, frost areas and ochre deserts
- Jupiter, to observe blue-tinted cloud formations
- Saturn, to reveal the blue-tinted cloud formations
The set includes a green filter (number 56) which can be used for:
- The Moon, to increase the contrast between lunar features in different light conditions
- Venus, to view the pattern of the clouds
- Mars, to enhance the contrast of the polar ice caps and to view frost
- Jupiter, to enhance the visibility of the Great Red Spot
- Saturn, to enhance the white elements in the atmosphere
The set includes a light blue filter (number 82A) that can be used for:
- The Moon, to increase the contrast between lunar features

- Mars, used for violet clearing and in the study of surface features of polar caps
- Saturn, improves low contrast details of cloud formations
The set includes a moon filter crystal view that can be used for:
- Increasing contrast of the surface of the moon while the excess light pollution is stopped
