#94119-40 - Yellow, Deep Yellow, Violet, Pale Blue (#s 8, 15, 47, 82A)

Flashlight - #93588 LED (light emitting diode) flashlight conveniently allow you to read star maps without diminishing your night vision. Feature adjustable brightness and is lightweight.

Light Pollution Reduction (LPR) Filter (#94123) - A 1¼” filter that threads into a 1¼” eyepiece, designed to enhance your views of deep-sky astronomical objects when observed from urban areas. The LPR filter selectively reduces the transmission of certain wavelengths of light, specifically those produced by artificial lights. This includes mercury, and high and low pressure sodium vapor lights. Additionally, it blocks unwanted natural light (also known as sky glow).

Sky Maps (#93722) – When learning the night sky, Celestron Sky Maps offer just the guidance you need. The maps show all the constellations and brighter deep-sky objects and are printed on heavy, moisture-resistant paper for durability. The front cover features a rotating planisphere, indicating when specific constellations are visible.

Peterson First Guides® - Astronomy (#93728)

A simplified field guide to the stars, the planets and the universe featuring full color maps showing the positions of the stars throughout the year. This useful guide also includes beautiful constellation paintings, photographs, and clear, concise descriptions of stars, the planets, the sun, the moon, comets, black holes, galaxies and more.

Solar Filters, 114/127mm (#94134) - Celestron Solar Filters are made with Baader Astro Solar™ Safety Film. Far superior than any existing glass, Mylar or polymer filters, they lead to brighter, sharper, and higher contrast images. The Sun appears in its “real ”color —neutral white, and the sky adjacent to the solar limb is jet black. You can see detail in sunspots, bright faculae near the limb and the mottled areas known as granules with these filters.

127 specifications

The Celestron 127 is a highly regarded telescope within the Celestron family, known for its combination of portability, reliability, and versatility. This telescope is specifically designed to cater to both novice astronomers and seasoned observers, making it a popular choice for those looking to explore the night sky.

One of the standout features of the Celestron 127 is its 127mm aperture. This size is optimal for gathering light and allows users to observe celestial objects in great detail, from the craters of the Moon to distant galaxies. The telescope employs a Maksutov-Cassegrain design, which strategically combines mirrors and lenses to create a compact and efficient optical system. This design minimizes chromatic aberration while providing impressive image quality, ensuring that celestial objects appear sharp and clear.

The Celestron 127 offers a focal length of 1500mm, resulting in a focal ratio of f/11.8. This relatively long focal length is advantageous for high-power observations, making it possible to view planets in stunning detail. For instance, users can clearly see Saturn's rings or the surface features of Mars with the right eyepieces.

Portability is another major aspect of the Celestron 127. Weighing in at approximately 11 lbs, it is lightweight enough to be transported easily to dark sky locations, yet sturdy enough for regular use. The telescope comes mounted on a stable, easily adjustable mount that allows for smooth tracking of celestial objects as they move across the night sky.

Celestron integrates advanced technologies into the 127 model to enhance user experience. The telescope is compatible with various Celestron accessories, including computerized mounts for automatic tracking and GoTo functionality. This feature is especially user-friendly for beginners, who may struggle with manually locating objects.

The Celestron 127 is not only limited to astronomical observations; it can also be used for terrestrial viewing. The additional versatility allows users to take advantage of the telescope's optical capabilities during the day.

In summary, the Celestron 127 stands out as a well-rounded telescope that marries portability with advanced optical technology. With its generous aperture, Maksutov-Cassegrain design, and user-friendly features, it is an excellent choice for anyone eager to discover the wonders of the universe, whether it's their first telescope or an addition to a growing collection.
