Summary: Excellent price / quality ratio
Review: After many years spent without gazing at the stars I finally made my move again and bought a new Nexstar 114. It came with 2 basic eyepieces. This kit looked like a nice addition, for a fair price.

I received the kit quickly, well this is Amazon... The case, as said before in other review, is sturdy and well designed. It is very convenient to carry around, and you don't have to worry about damaging your eyepieces at all. I found it very nice being able to carry all eyepieces at once, and leave the case a few feet away from my observation location, in order to grab elements I need.

The set features some extra space inside, and you can fit another 3 eyepieces. Eyepieces are of good quality. Not top of the line, yet they provide a crisp and clear view. The barlow lens is well built as well. I found the larger eyepiece (the 4mm one) to be of average quality, especially when used with the barlow lens.

Filter are well chosen and give you a good range of choices. I found the moon filter not dark enough to my taste, but it still does a nice job.

Overall, the born-again star gazer that I am is very satisfied of this very good investment.

Review: As has been mentioned before, you're not getting top of the line ep's here and would you expect to at this price? What you are getting though is a good selection of good quality ep's, this is a quick and easy way to fill out your accessory kit for cheap and to have a nice sturdy case to house them in. I've been using mine with my 10" Hardin dob and I have not regretted my purchase at all. The only negative to this kit was purchasing it though here, I placed an order and it was sitting unattended for 6 weeks. When I inquired if it would be shipped on the estimated ship date I was given a very vague answer that hinted at the date being unknown. I quickly cancelled the order and placed an order over at telescopesforless.com and only waited a week for the backorder to come in and be shipped out, for the same exact price as here. If you can get it through here or don't mind waiting a couple of months then do it, if you want to get to use your accessory kit I would recommend telescopesforless.

Summary: Great deal and great quality.
Review: Before seeing this kit, I bought separately a 6mm Plossl and a 2X Barlow. Those two items are part of this kit, but they cost me more separately than the entire kit! Tried it out last night and was very pleased. The two original eyepieces that came with the scope plus the 5 included in the kit and the Barlow give me 14 different possible views of the sky, and the color filters should help pick up planetary details.

Summary: Excellent beginner set
Review: Bought to go with my newly acquired Bushnell reflector which came with cheap (mostly plastic) EPs. VERY impressed so far with the improvement of these. BTW, if you want it cheaper by $20, order from www.bhphotovideo.com

Review: I don't know if it's possible for you Canadians, but if you know someone in the USA, can you buy this item and then have it shipped to that friend or family member and then have them ship it out to you? Just a thought, as I know how frustrating it can be when you find a good deal and can't do anything about it. I haven't had a chance to use these eyepieces yet as I have just ordered them, but look forward to getting them.

Summary: Excellent Package
Review: I have been more than pleased with my purchase of the Celestron Accessory kit with my Nexstar 8 GPS. The eyepiece that comes with the telescope has become worthless thanks to his kit. I have gotten some excellent views of Mars, Saturn and a few deep sky objects. I highly recommend to anyone with a telescope.

Summary: Can't beat this deal with a stick!!
Review: I needed a Barlow and a 32mm eyepiece for a knock around Reflector I take camping. I saw this Eyepiece Set and figured why not? Well this is truly a Smokin' Deal from Celestron. Quality Eyepieces, 2x Barlow and a set of filters all fitted in a First Rate Aluminum Case. Take my word for it-dont pass this deal up!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent
Review: I ordered this item with trepidation after reading the reviews that said that the item was never in stock. I received the item in one day. The eyepieces are of extremely high quality. The first night I was observing Jupiter and its Gallialean moons using these eyepieces along with my Nexstar 114GT. An execellent value for high quality optics.
