1 / 6Celestron 94303 1.25-inch Eyepiece and Filter Kit
The Celestron 94303 eyepiece and filter kit brings several focal lengths, a 2x Barlow lens and viewing filters together for telescopes with a 1.25-inch focuser. Its range can suit beginners building out a telescope setup, though higher magnification does not guarantee a sharp view in poor seeing conditions.
At a glance
- Five Plössl eyepieces cover listed focal lengths from 6mm to 32mm, for different magnifications.

What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The listing has contradictory or inconsistent details: it calls this a 14-piece kit, but the package inventory lists five eyepieces, one Barlow, six coloured filters, one Moon filter and one case, while another entry separately describes six coloured eyepieces and six filters. It also lists a 32mm objective, a 64mm focal-length description, an altazimuth mount, angled finderscope and solar power, which do not align clearly with the eyepiece-and-filter kit description. Confirm the selected listing's exact contents and relevant specifications before buying. Higher magnification may not give a clear result in poor or moderate seeing conditions.
