This 1.25″ Telescope Eyepiece and Planetary Filters Kit from Zhumell will dramatically expand your options for viewing stars, galaxies, and nebulae and observing the fascinating details of planets and the moon. The set comes in a sturdy foam-lined aluminum case.

The Plossl eyepieces include 12.5mm, 6mm, and 4mm models for increasingly more powerful magnification, plus a 32mm eyepiece for the wide field of view needed for large celestial objects like star clusters and nebulae. The included Barlow lens doubles the magnification of any eyepiece you use it with.

Planetary Filters Planetary filters come in different colors, and the Zhumell 1.25″ Eyepiece and Filter Kit includes a nice selection so that you can bring out details on all of the observable planets in our Solar System. Each of these filters threads onto the barrel of your 1.25″ eyepieces, or even your 2x Barlow lens. #12 Yellow Yellow filters help greatly in viewing Mars by bringing out the polar ice caps, enhancing blue clouds in the atmosphere, increasing contrast, and brightening desert regions. Yellow also enhances red and orange features on Jupiter and Saturn and darkens the blue festoons near Jupiter’s equator. #21 Orange An orange filter helps increase the contrast between light and dark areas, penetrates clouds, and assists in detecting dust storms on Mars. Orange also helps to bring out the Great Red Spot and sharpen the contrast on Jupiter. #23A Light Red Light red filters help to make Mercury and Venus stand out from the blue sky when viewed during the day. Used in large telescopes, light red sharpens boundaries and increases contrast on Mars, sharpens belt contrast on Jupiter, and brings out surface detail on Saturn. This filter is recommended for telescopes with apertures of at least 6″ due to a hefty decrease in light transmission. #56 Light Green Light green enhances frost patches, surface fogs, and polar projections on Mars, the ring system on Saturn, and belts on Jupiter. It works as a great-general purpose filter when viewing the moon. #82A Light Blue Light blue functions much the same as #80A Blue while maintaining overall image brightness. Light blue will also help to increase structure detail when looking at galaxies. Polarizing Filter You can use it to cut glare when viewing the moon, but it will also tend to increase contrast when viewing many astronomical objects. If you have the type of telescope that works well for terrestrial use, the polarizing filter will cut glare over water or objects that glint in the sun. Moon Filter The full moon is so bright, it can actually be unpleasant to look at through an unshielded eyepiece. This filter will decrease light transmission and cut glare while keeping the natural color of the moon intact. UPC: 853555008294
