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 .

Diagonal 2" Mirror (#93519) - Celestron offers a 2" 90° Mirror Diagonal to thread on Schmidt- Cassegrain telescopes or slides into the barrel of a 2" focuser. This diagonal includes an adapter to accept 1¼" eyepieces. It has a multicoated mirror and smooth mechanics that are precision manufactured for reliability

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 96 power with the C6-R.

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.
