Skylight Filter (#93621) - The Skylight filter is used on the Celestron C5
spotting scope as a dust seal. The filter threads onto the rear cell of your
telescope. All other accessories, both visual and photographic (with the
exception of Barlow lenses), thread onto the skylight filter. The light loss
caused by this filter is minimal.
Star Diagonal (94115-A) - A Star Diagonal lets you view objects that are at a
90
°angle from the direction the telescope is pointing, thereby allowing comfort-
able viewing when pointed near the zenith (i.e. directly overhead). The resulting
image is right side up, but will be reversed from left to right.
T-Adapter (#93633-A) - T-Adapter (with additional T-Ring) allows you to attach
your 35mm SLR camera to the rear cell of your Celestron C5. This turns your
C5 into a 1250mm telephoto lens perfect for terrestrial photography and short
exposure lunar photography.
T-Ring - The T-Ring couples your 35mm SLR camera body to the T-Adapter,
radial guider, or tele-extender. This accessory is mandatory if you want to do
photography through the telescope. Each camera make (i.e., Minolta, Nikon,
Pentax, etc.) has its own unique mount and therefore, its own T-Ring.
Celestron has 8 different models for 35mm cameras.
Vibration Suppression Pads (#93503) - These pads rest between the ground
and tripod feet. They reduce the amplitude and vibration time of your telescope
when shaken by the wind or an accidental bump. This accessory is a must for
long exposure prime focus photography.
A full description of all Celestron accessories can be found in the
Celestron accessory catalog (#93685).
