Review - Celestron Powerseeker Accessory Kit 94306

                         I purchased the Celestron Powerseeker Accessory Kit to compliment my Celestron Powerseeker 127EQ Telescope.The telescope comes standard with a 3xBarlow lens, a 4mm, and a 20mm Erecting Eyepiece.The Powerseeker Accessory kit includes a 9mm Kellner,and 15mm Kellner eyepieces, and a blue, red, and neutral density moon filter, a microfiber cloth, and case.
                         The case is nice enough for the price.It is constructed of heavy plastic, with foam linings.The eyepieces are right away better than the 4mm that comes with a Powerseeker, in construction alone.The views the give are even better.The optics are visibly superior to both of the lenses I recieved with my telescope, giving much clearer views, and better contrast.Also the 9mm is much more suited to be used with the 3x Barlow than the 4mm with a scope this size.I would much rather have had the 9mm Kellner with the scope in place of the 4mm.Overall, both Kellner eyepieces were well worth the $30 price tag alone.
                          The filters included in this kit are a mixed bag.The red, and blue filters are well consturcted glass, and metal with the Celestron logo painted on the side, but the moon filter is plastic.The moon filter does work just fine though, and is extremely useful during a full, or nearly full moon.The blue filter works great for bringing out the features of Saturn, as well as the cloud bands of Jupiter.The red filter on the other hand is practically useless for telescopes smaller than 6 inches.Considering that the largest Powerseeker telescope offered is the 127mm/5 inch, I wonder why the offered a red filter in the Powerseeker accessory kit.I guess they thought it would be useful when you upgrade, maybe even help encourage you to do so, I don't know.
                           The only real downer in the kit is the plastic moon filter, but as I said before, the two eyepieces are worth the price of the kit on their own.The kit is worth every penny, and I would definately recommend it if you own a small Celestron telescope.The kit is available on Amazon for $24.95.Thanks for reading.
