Celestron FIRSTSCOPE 60 EQ User Manual

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
Eyepieces - An assortment of ,96" and 1 1 / 4 " eyepieces are available to give you a wide range of magnifications.
Eyepiece filters - To enhance your visual observations, individual filters and sets are available for l 1 // .eyepieces.
Flashlights - Celestron’s #93592 and #93588 LED (light emitting diode) flashlights conveniently allow
you to read star maps without diminishing your night vision. Both feature adjustable brightness and are
small and lightweight, (#93592 is only 6 inches long, and weighs in at a mere 3 ounces).
Light Pollution Reduction (LPR) Filter (#94126A) - A 114" filter that threads into a 1 Vi" eyepiece,
designed to enhance your views of deep-sky astronomical objects when observed from urban areas. The
LPR filter selectively reduces the transmission of certain wavelengths of light, specifically those produced
by artificial lights. This includes mercury, and high and low pressure sodium vapor lights. Additionally, it
blocks unwanted natural light (also known as sky glow).
Sky Maps (#93722) - When learning the night sky, Celestron Sky Maps offer just the guidance you need.
The maps show all the constellations and brighter deep-sky objects and are printed on heavy, moisture-
resistant paper for durability. The front cover features a rotating planisphere, indicating when specific
constellations are visible.
Solar Filters - Celestron’s Solar Skreen solar filters permit completely safe, direct observation of the sun.
This filter, which transmits .001% of visible light, allows sunspots to be seen as they move across the solar
disk. While reducing the intensity of the sun’s visible light, it also blocks 99.999% of invisible infrared
light. The Solar Skreen solar filter is made of precision engineered Mylar polyester film. A layer of
aluminum is vacuum-deposited on one surface of the dual sheets of Mylar used to make each filter. This
aluminum coating produces a cool, comfortable, pale blue image of the sun. A #21 orange eyepiece filter
works well in conjunction with the Solar Skreen filter to produce a more naturally colored image of the
sun.
Peterson First Guides® - Astronomy
A simplified field guide to the stars, the planets and the universe featuring full color maps showing the positions of
the stars throughout the year. This useful guide also includes beautiful constellation paintings, photographs, and
clear, concise descriptions of stars, the planets, the sun, the moon, comets, black holes, galaxies and more.
Planisphere (#93720) - A colorful rotating star map that indicates when specific constellations are visible,
with removable markers for tracking the movement of planets. Available in three different latitudes: 30°, 40°,
and 50° — all ±10°.
“The Sky - Level 1 for Celestron” CD-ROM (#93700) presented by Celestron and Software Bisque, is the most
comprehensive and inexpensive CD-ROM on the market for all levels of astronomers. It features a 10,000 object
database, 75 full color enhanced images, 360° screen rotation, zoom from 4° to 235°, realistic sky display showing
stellar brightness and contrast and more. This CD-ROM is easy to load, requiring only a 4MB system to run.
Windows and Windows 95 compatible.
