Accessory Kit Includes:
Nylon Carrying Bag for FirstScope Telescope (not shown in picture) - Pack your FirstScope telescope and accessories in this tote bag for easy and safe transportation.
12.5 mm Eyepiece 1.25" Increases the power to 24x which makes it easier to find and observe some objects that require more magnification.
6 mm Eyepiece 1.25" This eyepiece increases the power to 50x which boosts the magnification up higher to see more detail of faint objects.
Moon Filter 1.25" A moon filter reduces the brightness of the moon and improves contrast so that greater detail can be observed on the lunar surface. The filter has threads on it which screw into the bottom of the eyepieces.
5x24 Finderscope & bracket This finderscope with bracket will make it easier to locate astronomical objects with the FirstScope telescope because of its much wider field of view and low magnification. Installation is simple with no tools necessary.
