1. Celestron NexYZ 3 axis
The NexYZ Universal 3-Axis Smartphone Adapter for Digiscoping fits all eyepieces with a diameter of 35 mm to 60 mm without the need for an adapter. It can be used with telescopes featuring 1.25" and 2" eyepieces, as well as with spotting scopes, monoculars, and binoculars. With the two included adapter rings, you can also use NexYZ on slimmer (microscope) eyepieces down to 25 mm in diameter. A strong spring and a threaded locking mechanism ensure a secure grip on the eyepiece of the optical instrument, keeping the smartphone safe. The NexYZ is compatible with a wide range of smartphones up to 92 mm in width. It can be adjusted to fit any device, typically even when the smartphone is in a protective case. Even large "phablets" like the iPhone 8 Plus and the latest Samsung Galaxy devices work perfectly, with the distance from the camera to the bottom of the smartphone being up to 160 mm. The sturdy platform easily supports the weight of these heavy devices. If multiple people want to take photos through your optics, you can quickly swap one device for another thanks to the spring clamp. NexYZ is the ideal solution for star parties or group birdwatching, where everyone wants their own picture of the action.
2. Celestron Accessories kit Astromaster
The AstroMaster accessory kit is the perfect complement to the AstroMaster telescopes. It provides additional magnifications and filters to better observe details on the planets. You can also use it with any other telescope that has a 1.25" eyepiece holder. Enjoy your telescope even more with the Celestron AstroMaster accessory kit. In the plastic carrying case lined with foam, you will find the following accessories: 15 mm Kellner eyepiece - 1.25"; 6 mm Plossl eyepiece - 1.25"; 2X Barlow lens with T-thread - 1.25"; 80A blue filter - 1.25"; red filter - 1.25"; moon filter - 1.25"; microfiber cleaning cloth.
3. Celestron Mondfilter
The moon has the distinction of being the most viewed celestial object through backyard telescopes. It is undoubtedly beautiful and mysterious, and it is one of the constants in life that connects all people on the planet. Regardless of who they are or where they live or travel, they all look up at the same moon. It can be challenging to observe the moon through a telescope and to discern all the details due to its brightness. The eyes are not prepared for the bright beam of light emitted from the eyepiece, and they become dazzled, just as they would when stepping into sunlight on a bright summer day. When they are in the sun, they often wear sunglasses. These help relax the eyes, protect against glare, and allow for clearer vision. Amateur astronomers observing the moon use a moon filter. A Celestron moon filter offers similar benefits to sunglasses – one eye relaxes and opens up to better perceive the details. This is especially important when the moon is near full. The Celestron moon filter easily screws onto the eyepiece of most 1.25-inch eyepieces. It takes just a second or two to transform a regular eyepiece into one suitable for moon observations. A moon filter is also helpful when observing Venus or bright terrestrial scenes. However, this filter is not suitable for viewing the sun.
4. Celestron Baader T-Ring Canon

Screws onto the back of the telescope. With the Celestron T-adapters, 35 mm SLR cameras can be connected at the primary focus of the telescope. This allows you to take terrestrial photos as well as images of the Moon and planets. For deep-sky photography, an additional guide scope is required. In addition to the T-adapters, a T-ring specific to the camera is needed. Suitable for Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes C5, C6, C8, C9, C11, and C14.
7. Celestron T-Adapter Universal

With these Celestron T-adapters, 35 mm SLR cameras can be connected to the primary focus of a telescope or spotting scope. The adapter is inserted and secured in place of the eyepiece in the 1.25-inch eyepiece holder. This allows you to take terrestrial photographs as well as images of the Moon and planets. For deep sky photography, an additional guide scope is required. In addition to the T-adapters, a T-ring specific to the camera is also needed.
8. Celestron SkyPortal WiFi Adapter
The new SkyPortal Wi-Fi module (formerly known as SkyQ Link) enables wireless control of almost any Celestron GoTo telescope with the optionally available "SkyPortal" app, available for both iOS and Android. In this app, a complete planetarium program, you can simply tap on an observation target on the star map or in a list, and the telescope will automatically move to it. The telescope can also be operated via SkyPortal without a hand controller, and even the alignment is possible through SkyPortal.

10. Celestron StarSense module
With azimutally mounted telescopes, StarSense allows alignment without GPS, without entering coordinates, without aligning and leveling it to the north and without cumbersome approaching of stars. The StarSense module also brings great advantages when combined with parallactic mounts. Although pole adjustment is still required, with the new "AllStar" process from Celestron this is done on every star within a few minutes. Simply enter the location and time, select the star from the database and move it to the center of the crosshair with azimuth and height adjustment. Ready. StarSense can then use the fully automatic "3-minute plate solving process" to provide exact orientation without any further user input, just as it can with azimuthal mounts. The cumbersome, lengthy starting and centering of guide stars is no longer necessary. Another advantage of the StarSense is the extreme improvement of positioning accuracy via the T-Point method. Similar to some high-end mounts, any number of stars can be "mapped", i.e. approached, positioned exactly in the middle of the crosshairs and the exact position confirmed by "Enter". From ten mapped stars (which should be distributed over the entire visible part of the sky if possible) the positioning accuracy becomes extreme. The secret of the StarSense technology is a small camera module which is placed on the telescope like a viewfinder. It takes 3 wide-angle photos of different areas of the starry sky, the StarSense hand controller analyzes these photos and calculates the position of the other objects of the starry sky. The StarSense module comes with the StarSense hand controller.
