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 9 volt battery (included).
CN16 GPS Accessory (#93963) - Plug in this 16-channel GPS module into your telescopes drive base port to link up 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 (#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.
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 80 power with the C8-N and 96 power
with the C10-N.
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%.
Motor Drive, Single Axis (#93518) This motor drive is a single axis (R.A.), DC motor drive. It is powered by four D-
cell batteries (not included). 2x and 4x sidereal speeds are available through the included hand controller. For non-
computerized Advanced Series Mounts.
Motor Drive, Dual Axis (#93523) - This dual axis motor drive, with drive corrector capabilities, are designed for
Celestron's Advanced CG-5 mounts. They precisely control the telescope's tracking speed during long, timed exposures of
celestial objects, producing the best possible image sharpness. Four speeds are available—1x (sidereal), 2x for guiding, 4x,
and 8x for centering. These precision, state-of-the-art DC motor drives operate from 4 D-cell batteries (not included). The
hand controller module is very compact and fits easily in the palm of your hand. Motors for both axes are included, along
with brackets, clutches and hardware. For non-computerized Advanced Series Mounts.
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.
PowerTank (#18774)
12v 7Amp hour rechargeable power supply. Comes with
two 12v output cigarette outlets, built-in red flash light , Halogen emergency
spotlight. Switchable 110v/220v AC adapter and cigarette lighter adapter included.
