1.25 celestron accessory kit with 5 lenses from 6mm to 32mm. 2x barlow lense. moon and colord filters. think its $125, but necessary. reasonableand works great with my meade. and oh, they shipped me the wrong model , which wasn't the biggest deal, but would've been a major issue to exchange, so I kept the ng-60 which came in a box marked ng-70. make sure to check the mm by the eyepiece to confirm u get or got the right tube. nice scope. be gentle, and good luck.

first of all I like the Orion telephoto telescope lens with a 3x magnification Barlow lens. you may have to tighten the stand up to hold the extra weight. I have seen Saturn with this telescope.

Two Normal lens or one wide angle, not the zoom lenses like the 70-300. But the Lowepro exchange 200 AW will do.

Some good eyepieces, not with too small focal length (no less than 10mm) and a Barlow lens. The ultima duo eyepieces are quite good.

Yeah you can attach a nikon DSLR but you'll need a nikon adaptor/attachment. But it's not worth it, because you need to make long exposure as the telescope i believe is a F16. If you want to go for astrophotography, go for a motorised telescope.

For Night Sky viewing you want a 50 mm lens or better.. like a 8X50 or so.. need bright lens to view stars or planets.. get the best you can afford. Tasco makes a good night vision binocular at a good price

Martin. I have never responded to a question before. My son and I really like this telescope. The fine adjustments are very easy. It us not as portable as we would like but what can you do. Let me know if you have a specific question as my son can help me answer.

Well it really depends on what type of area you live in and what you are looking at. If you are in a light polluted city or are trying to see fainter objects then a dobsonian would help. If you want to look at fairly bright objects like planets, moon and terrestrial things then a refractor will be great for that.

I think you can order accessories for this telescope. A nebula filter would be helpful when viewing Orion Nebula and others. I don't do much moon viewing, so don't know much about a filter for that. I bought an electric hookup for my telescope. It has a 25' reach to your car's cigarette lighter input. I also bought a camera adapter to hook my camera into an eyepice holder. As far as repair items, please consult with the Meade people.

The 10mm eyepiece that comes with this telescope should work very well to see planets clearly. While increasing the magnification will increase the image size, it will never be very large in the eyepiece.

Get the 17-40mm and the 70-200mm f4 for less tha half the price. It's a two lens combo that is outstanding. The pictures are sharp,crisp, and saturated.

Long exposures with this telescope would be frustratingly difficult. Spend more money and move into the professional series of scopes with massive equatorial mountings and move to a location where light pollution is minimal. Your camera is a good choice, though.

You can use most of the Meade additional parts. I purchased the moon filter, and additional lenses/eyepieces are available as well as add-ons for cameras, etc.

I would buy the ones with the electronic contacts. That way you can adjust the aperture. The lower priced models don't have the contacts.

Try a 9mm,, 4mm is even better. I can see 4 of jupiter's moons pretty clearly when focused.

This one comes with everything you need. It has a 2x lens and a 4x extender. If you want to look at the moon or the sun, though, make sure you get appropriate filters.

What lenses do you own now and what's your budget? Are you asking for a longer telephoto lens or a single-lens-solution that covers a bigger range?
