THE INDUSTRY'S BEST TELESCOPE AND ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY EXPERTS
Look, we get it. Stating that we’re the “best” can seem a bit like a catch. However, with a combined astronomy experience of over 115 years (117 to be exact), our team of telescope and astrophotography experts, a.k.a. "Gear Experts", knows astronomy and how to service our customers.
We know how to narrow down the products that best fit YOUR needs, rather than push something simply because it’s easy. Once we’ve done that, we ensure you understand WHY we’re recommending the product by teaching you the concepts behind the product and in the process, we demystify all the terminology. Leaving you with confidence knowing you are making the right decision and one that is perfect for you and your goals of viewing the night sky!
Our knowledge is only surpassed by our passion for this wonderful hobby we all love so much. We truly believe our team is a cut above the rest and we look forward working with you!
NON-COMMISSIONED PRODUCT ADVISORS
Our team of product advisors know what it’s like to buy astronomy equipment for the first time. There are so many types of telescopes and accessories that the process can be overwhelming enough without having to worry about pushy salespeople trying to make a big commission.
That’s why our unbiased, non-commissioned product advisors’ only incentive is to recommend a product that they truly believe is the right choice to help you meet your goals, and at a price point that also meets your budget. There’s never any pressure to buy, and you can rest assured that your recommendation is personalized for you rather than motivated by financial gain. We look forward to helping you start your astronomy journey!

Recommended Accessories
Celestron Deluxe Flexible Dew Shield for 9.25" and...
Dew can quickly ruin a night of imaging, but there are ways to keep it at bay on all but the wettest of nights. Wrap this flexible dew shield snuggly around the end of your 9.25” SCT tube assembly to delay the formation of dew on your telescope's corrector plate. A dew shield also prevents stray light from bouncing off your optics and reducing contrast.
Pacific Design Soft Case for 9.25" SCT
Slide the Celestron 9.25” SCT OTA telescope into this protective heavy-duty soft case and you’ll be reassured it’s protected during storage and transport to dark sky locations! A zipped pouch can store smaller accessories.
Celestron X-Cel LX 2X Barlow Lens
A 2X Barlow is one of the most popular telescope accessories available because it doubles the magnification of any 1.25” eyepiece you use with it! This telescope comes with a 25 mm eyepiece, for 94X magnification. Double the power to 188X by adding a Barlow to the mix, and for every eyepiece you buy thereafter, you ‘ll have two magnification options instead of one!
Celestron f/6.3 Focal Reducer Corrector for SCT Te...
The Celestron f/6.3 Focal Reducer & Corrector threads onto the rear cell of this 9.25” SCT to effectively reduce the focal ratio from f/10 to f/6.3, producing a wider field of view for astrophotography and reducing exposure times by a factor of 3.
Apertura 2" SCT Twist-Lock Carbon Dielectric Mirro...
If you'd like the ability to enjoy 2" eyepieces for deep-sky use, this SCT 2" Diagonal is a good option for this 9.25” SCT. Twist lock functionality locks the diagonal firmly in place, dielectric coatings increase contrast and brightness, and it comes complete with a 2" to 1.25" adapter so you can use your standard 1.25" eyepieces as well.
Celestron T-Adapter for C5 - C14 Telescopes
This photographic T-Adapter securely threads onto the rear cell of this 9.25” SCT OTA and presents standard M42 T-threads on the other side. With the adapter in place, you can attach, for instance, a T-ring that is dedicated to your DSLR camera model, such as a Canon, Nikon, etc., providing a simple way to image objects through your telescope.
Apertura 32mm Super Wide Angle 2" Eyepiece
The Celestron 9.25” SCT OTA comes with a 25 mm eyepiece that yields 94X magnification. If you add this 32 mm eyepiece to your collection, it will magnify by 73X for a lower power, wider field of view. If you also pick up a 2X Barlow, you’d be able to double the magnification of both eyepieces (188X & 146X) plus any other eyepieces you get in the future.
Celestron Ultima Edge 18mm 1.25" Eyepiece
The Celestron 9.25” SCT OTA comes with a 25 mm eyepiece that yields 94X magnification. If you add this 18 mm eyepiece to your collection, it will magnify by 130X. If you also pick up a 2X Barlow, you’d be able to double the magnification of both eyepieces (188X & 260X) plus any other eyepieces you get in the future.
Apertura Wide Angle Eyepiece Kit with 2" SCT Quart...
This wide angle eyepiece kit will give you four more magnification options when observing with your 9.25” SCT (73X, 118X, 157X, 235X), for a total of 5 with the 25 mm (94X) eyepiece included with this telescope! You'll also receive an upgraded 2" diagonal so you can use both 2" and 1.25" eyepieces anytime you like! A great deal.
