Summary: Good Quality Eyepeces
Review: The eyepieces are of good quality, though the Barlow is a bit on the dark side. The 4mm eyepiece that comes with the set will be seldom used, as most scopes of less than 12", will not handle the magnification. The quality of the filters is outstanding, and come with an instruction sheet on which filters are used for various viewing preferences. The case is of excellent quality, comes with locks and keys so you can secure your eyepieces. Be aware if your collumation is off, these eyepieces will exaggerate poor collumation.I tested the eyepieces looking at trees over a half mile away during the day, and using an 8" Newt, was able to discern nobs on pine cones. The images were clear, but not as bright as televue eyepieces would be. In the evening, I viewed Jupiter, and a few of the messier catalog galaxies/nebulas, and found the eyepieces to work pretty well. All in all, given the quality of the eyepieces, the price, and the extras (case, filters, barlow), you can't go wrong with this kit. On the negative side, the eyepieces will slightly darken your image, so don't expect televue, or nagler quality glass.

Summary: Good but not Great Kit
Review: The eyepieces included with this kit are marked with the type and size (e.g., "Plossl 32mm") and the manufacturer ("Celestron"). None of the names of other Celestron eyepiece suites (e.g. Nexstar or Axiom) are shown. They appear to be well made and have good coatings but don't appear to be of the same quality as other Celestron eyepieces. My guess is that these are generic, low-cost plossl's that Celestron has packed into this kit. I don't have enough experience with these eyepieces yet to give a good review of their performance. The are far better with greater brightness and resolution than the cheap MA types that were included with my scope (Bushnell). The eye relief on the 6mm is quite short. Overall, this kit is still a bargain for those who need to upgrade to a reasonably good quality and very complete set of eyepieces and filters.

Summary: Good Value, High Quality
Review: The money you spent for this set of eyepices is undoubtedly worthwhile. The quality of the eyepices are outstanding comparatively to general unbranded accesories available from dealers. I live in Australia and couldn't find something close to this in the market. The 32mm eyepiece is extremely useful for observing nebulae which shows lot of clarity in what you see. It would have been much convenient if Amazon provided international shipping cause I had to get it through a friend of mine who lives in US.

Summary: Great EP's for the Money!!
Review: These are nice set of EP's, filters, and a nice case! I used them with my Hardin Deep Space 8" dob, and was able to split the Double Double! using the 9 mm lense. You do give up some clarity next to a televue, but not that much for a part time user.

Summary: Quality construction
Review: This is definately a quality set. The lens are very well constructed as are other celestron products. Excellent price can't be matched anywhere.

Summary: GREAT DEAL!
Review: When I got into astronomy, I looked at the expensive Plossl eyepieces and dreamed. Now I have an entire set! This product is worth the wait and will complement any telescope with a 1.25 focuser!

Summary: Good value
Review: While the supplied eyepieces aren't of the same quality of, say, TeleVue plossls, they are nonetheless good generic symmetricals (most "plossls" are not true Plossls) of the sort that would ordinarily cost you about twice what this set sells for- and you get filters and a case, to boot! The whole set would typically sell for about three times what Celestron is asking here. I'd recommend this set, along with a good 6" Dobsonian reflector from Celestron or another quality vendor, as an excellent beginner's outfit. If you already have a decent beginner's scope that takes 1-1/4" eyepieces, this set will provide you with all the eyepieces you're likely to need for some time.
