I have purchased the Celestron First Scope and then I purchased The Celestron First Scope Accessory Kit. All the items are Great. You get 6 specially designed Astronomy items that you really need to enjoy the Celestron First Scope you get 2 great Lenses an H 6 mm and an H12.5 mm Eyepieces, plus a Moon Filter, and a Nylon Carrying Bag and best of all you get a high quality 5 X 24 Finderscope & Bracket. The 5 X 24 Finderscope and Bracket is a wonderful Finderscope and it really complements the Celestron First Scope. I find that everything in the Celestron First Scope Accessory Kit is a great kit. I recommend anybody who buys this great Telescope should buy the Accessory kit. You will truly enjoy the Celestron First Scope and the Accessory Kit.
I purchased this set about 3 years ago, about $25. The 6 mm eyepiece surprised me and works quite well in my 10-inch Dobsonian. The view was clear with minor abberation at the edge. The 12.5 mm eyepiece was disappointingly blurry. I just bought this set so I could slap on an inexpensive finder on the Dob. The software is decent. I actually use the bag on a tabletop 114-mm reflector. The moon filter is okay. So for $25 it is a good value, 4 out of 5 stars. The 12.5 mm eyepiece was found wanting. I believe the optics are glass, except for the filter. Eyepiece is made out of plastic as is the finder: it does have a crosshair and caps however. Decent value: 1 of 2 eyepiece usable, finder is usable, moon filter works, decent software, and a good nylon bag/dust cover. Conditional "Yes" recommendation.
