Top 10 Accessories for the Summer of the Planets

Enhance your Celestron computerized telescope with our patented StarSense automatic alignment functionality. In about 3 minutes, your telescope is ready to locate any object in the hand control’s database with no user input needed.

Add WiFi connectivity to your Celestron computerized telescope with the SkyPortal WiFi Module. Once you connect SkyPortal, you’ll be able to control your telescope via your smartphone and our user-friendly planetarium app. Simply tap the object you wish to view, and SkyPortal centers it for you in the eyepiece.

If you already own a DSLR camera, a T-Adapter and compatible T-ring are must-have astroimaging accessories. These ultra-affordable pieces provide a secure connection between your camera and your telescope’s rear cell, turning your scope into a gigantic telephoto lens.

Celestron’s popular eyepiece and filter kits are a great way to quickly build your eyepiece collection. Available in 1.25” and 2” sizes, you can choose the set that best fits your telescope. Then, when it’s time to view the planets, you can experiment with different filters and magnification levels.

Want to bump up the magnification for monster planetary views? A Barlow lens is the perfect, affordable way to do just that. We recommend our Luminos 2.5x Barlow lens or Omni 2x Barlow lens. For the best results, use Barlows when seeing conditions are good, like later in the evening or in cool, grassy locations that won’t retain heat built up during the day.

Capture the Summer of the Planets with our best solar system imagers. These cameras are trusted by some of the world’s top astrophotographers to capture sharp, detailed images of Jupiter, Saturn, and more.

Enjoy an evening out under the stars without the fear of your battery draining. Celestron’s PowerTank line provides your telescope portable power for any observing site.

To prevent excess moisture in the air from forming condensation on the corrector lens, add a dew shield to your setup.

Let us lighten your load with a sleek, protective carrying case. It’s the perfect storage solution for transporting your telescope and accessories anywhere with ease and confidence. These customizable cases are a must for telescope owners of all stripes.

Whether you’re an expert imager or getting your first look through a telescope, you can capture great images of Mars, the Moon, Jupiter, Saturn and more with our newest smartphone adapter. Quickly clamp it onto most any eyepiece, use the three-axis positioners to line up your shot, snap, and share your unique perspective on these distant worlds.
