You get six matched fully multicoated Meade Series 4000 1.25" Super Plössl eyepieces. They come in focal lengths of 6.4mm, 9.7mm, 12.4mm, 15mm, 32mm, and 40mm. Click on any of the focal lengths above for details on that particular eyepiece. You get a fully multicoated #126 2x 1.25" Barlow to double the power of the eyepieces. To bring out surface structure and details in lunar and planetary observing, you get a Meade eyepiece filter set #1 with the following 1.25" eyepiece color filters: #12 yellow, #23 light red, #58 green, and #80A blue. You also get a #ND96 1.25" neutral density Moon filter to cut down the glare of our nearest celestial neighbor without affecting the color and increase the contrast of its features. The filter is also useful for splitting close binary stars, as it will reduce the glare of the brighter star of the pair so that the dimmer component isn’t overwhelmed by the light of the brighter one. Finally, all the accessories come in a locking aluminum-clad hard carrying case with a foam interior die-cut specifically to fit the accessories and keep them conveniently handy in the dark. The kit is a great value, whether you buy it alone or with a Meade telescope.
