Celestron 2x Barlow
Televue Eyepieces
This quality x-cel 2x barlow doubles the magnification of any 1.25” eyepiece. 3 element apochromatic, fully multi-coated optics offer up bright and sharp images.
One of my favorite eyepieces. Its wide angle gives you a pretty good view of most deep space objects. I love using this for galaxies like M31, nebulae like M42, and clusters like M45, the beehive, and the perseus double cluster. You may need a 2” diagonal to use this with some telescopes.

This is my first eyepiece purchase. Its extremely versatile, and will work with any telescope that accepts 1.25” eyepiece. The quality you get for the price is unmatched. I still use it regularly, especially when im doing my telescope live streams.
Astronomy Filters
Dew Heater for telescopes/lenses
A neutral density filter that optimizes lunar observation. It reduces the bright glare of the Moon, allowing astronomers to appreciate lunar details without excessive brightness. It also enhances lunar contrast, revealing finer surface details while protecting your eyes from discomfort caused by brightness.
Red dot finder for telescopes
A popular accessory for telescopes, providing a simple and intuitive way to locate celestial objects in the sky. By superimposing a red dot into the sky, users can easily point their telescope at specific targets, enhancing efficiency and ease of observations.
Svbony moon filter
Dew heaters are essential accessories for telescopes/lenses, particularly in cool or humid conditions, to prevent the formation of dew on optical surfaces such as the telescopes primary mirror or your camera lens. Ive had many imaging nights ruined because of dew! A cheaper alternative to this are attaching hand warmers to your setup.
Filters are essential for improving your imaging and visual observations. A light pollution filter will help with contrast if you are imaging from the city, and h-alpha filters will collect more red light in the H-alpha wavelength, and a OIII filter will reveal more blue-green and so on.
