other filters are also sold in sets.
Flashlight
, Night Vision - (#93588) - Celestron’s premium model for astronomy, using
two red LED
's to preserve night vision better than red filters or other devices. Brightness is adjustable. Operates on a single

and automatically download information from one of many global positioning satellites. Controlled with the computerized
hand control, the CN-16 will greatly improve the accuracy of your star alignments.
CN16 GPS Bracket (#93964) – Support your CN-16 GPS accessory with this bracket and strap combination that
securely wraps around any of the tripod legs and holds the GPS module in place .
Light Pollution Reduction (LPR) Filters - 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. Celestron
offers a model for 1-1/4" eyepieces (#94126A) and a model that attaches to the rear cell ahead of the star diagonal and visual
back (#94127A).
Micro Guide Eyepiece (#94171) - This multipurpose 12.5mm illuminated reticle can be used for
guiding deep-sky astrophotos, measuring position angles, angular separations, and more. The
laser etched reticle provides razor sharp lines and the variable brightness illuminator is
completely cordless. The micro guide eyepiece produces
224 power when used with the CGE
11
at f/10 and 163 power with the CGE 8.
Moon Filter (
#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%.
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.
Polar Axis Finderscope (#94220) – This useful accessory speeds accurate polar alignment by providing a means of
visually aligning your German equatorial mount with Polaris and true north. As a result, you can spend more time observing
and less time setting up. The finderscope has an easy to use cross hair reticle.
