Flashlight , Night Vision - (#93588) - Celestron's premium model for astronomy, using two red LEDs to preserve night
vision better than red filters or other devices. Brightness is adjustable. Operates on
a single 9 volt battery (included).
Flashlight, Red Astro Lite – (#93590) – An economical squeeze-type flashlight
fitted with a red cap to help preserve your night vision. Remove the red cap for
normal flashlight operation. Very compact size and handy key chain.
Filter, Light Pollution Reduction –LPR (#94126A) - These filters are designed
to enhance your views of deep sky astronomical objects when viewed from urban
areas. LPR Filters selectively reduce the transmission of certain wavelengths of
light, specifically those produced by artificial lights. This includes mercury and
high and low pressure sodium vapor lights. In addition, they also block unwanted
natural light (sky glow) caused by neutral oxygen emission in our atmosphere.
Filter, Moon (#94119-A) - Celestron's Moon Filter is an economical eyepiece filter for reducing the brightness of the moon
and improving contrast, so greater detail can be observed on the lunar surface. The clear aperture is 21mm and the
transmission is about 18%.
Hand Control, Upgrade (#93961) – Plugs into your NexStar 60 HC, NexStar 80 HC or NexStar 114 HC to give you instant
access to over 4,000 celestial objects. Combined with your telescope's built-in slew motors, your NexStar will have the
ability to automatically find all the Messier objects, dozens of double stars and all the planets at a touch of a button. Hand
control comes with built-in RS-232 communication port capable of interfacing with popular
astronomy software.
Hand Control Upgrade Kit with Motors (#93960) – Easy to install, this upgrade kit gives you
everything you need to convert your NexStar 60 ST into a completely automated "GoTo"
system. Kit includes both altitude and azimuth high speed slew motors plus the NexStar hand
control containing over 4,000 object database.
Planisphere (#93720) - A simple and inexpensive tool for all levels of observers, from naked
eye viewers to users of highly sophisticated telescopes. The Celestron Planisphere makes it
easy to locate stars for observing and is a great planet finder as well. A map of the night sky,
oriented by month and day, rotates within a depiction of the 24 hours of the day, to display
exactly which stars and planets will be visible at any given time. Ingeniously simple to use, yet
quite effective.
Planispheres come in three different models, to match the latitude from which you're observing:
Polarizing Filter Set (#93608) - The polarizing filter set limits the transmission of light to a specific plane, thus increasing
contrast between various objects. This is used primarily for terrestrial, lunar and planetary observing.
RS-232 Cable (#93920) – Allows your NexStar telescope to be controlled using a laptop computer or PC. Once connected,
the NexStar can be controlled using software programs like GuideStar computer control software by Celestron.
Sky Maps (#93722) - Celestron Sky Maps are the ideal teaching guide for learning the night sky. You wouldn't set off on a
road trip without a road map, and you don't need to try to navigate the night sky without a map either. Even if you already
know your way around the major constellations, these maps can help you locate all kinds of fascinating objects.
Vibration Suppression Pads (#93503) - These pads rest between the ground and tripod feet of your telescope. They reduce
the amplitude and vibration time of your telescope when shaken by the wind or an accidental bump.
A full description of all Celestron accessories can be found in the Celestron Accessory Catalog (#93685).
