 OK eyepieces that do not fit new Nexstar 4SE March 20, 2007
4 out of 7 found this review helpful
I recently bought a new Celestron Nexstar 4SE telescope and this eyepiece accessory kit. Much to my disappointment, the eyepieces in this kit did not fit very well into the eyepiece holder of the telescope, and when cold (nights in Colorado are 25-45F), the eyepieces did not fit at all.
Celestron customer service was horrible and did not pay attention to my problem and did not follow up by email as promised. When I called a second time, they had no clue about the construction of the eyepieces and no thoughts about how to fix this problem. Amazon replaced the kit (Thank you Amazon!), but the replacements did not fit either. I'm returning that kit too. I finally bought a kit from Meade (3 eyepieces and a moon filter) that fit properly and are very easy to use.
To be fair, if these eyepieces fit your telescope then they are a tremendous value (hence the rating of 2 stars rather than 1). The Meade kit is a worse value, but because they work in my nice new scope, they are the best for anyone using a Nexstar 4SE.

As luck would have it I have only got to use the set once. But wow great eye peices. If you're just getting in to star gazing great way to start
Great bargain! February 18, 2007

I'm not going to imply that these are the best eyepieces available but they are good eyepieces and they are incredibly affordable. They are essentially Celestron's "Omni" series Plossl eyepieces, which are their least expensive series and retail for $30 - $40 each. Just the eyepieces alone are worth the $100. The barlow lens is a quality piece but is fairly redundant with these eyepieces unless you have a very short focal ratio telescope. The color filters are a good all around set but they would only be useful for 8" and larger telescopes and then only for planetary viewing. I don't care for the moon filter. It is better than nothing, but I prefer using polarizing filter for the moon.
So buy it for the case and the eyepieces and if you get any use out of the rest that is just frosting on the cake!
 Wide range, fair quality January 27, 2007

These are a decent set of beginner 1.25" eyepieces, filters and barlow. It give you a wide spread of size (x power) and fair quality. Nice case and at an unbeatable price (I paid $99 with free shipping). Tom

I ordered the Celestron Accessory Kit w/five lens, Bartlow 2x lens, and assorted filters. The kit comes in a metal case w/foam lining. The metal cover, on the case, has a bubble in it. Located on the bottom of the case. This doesn't interfere with the performance of the product but it is a nuisance and a disappointment. It makes one wonder if this is a common practice, to move slightly defective material to internet customers, or maybe this is the agreement with Amazon.com and its suppliers. However, the contents seem to be in satisfactory condition.
