Accessories Included

This kit comes with two eyepieces (20mm and 4mm), erect image diagonal, finderscope, a Barlow lens, and a free EclipSmart solar filter. The two eyepieces offer different magnifications to view your intended object. The 3x Barlow lens triples the magnifying power of each eyepiece.
