Three Must-Have Astronomy Accessories!

The Skygazer Astronomy Accessory Bundle from Khan Scope Centre includes three super popular accessories that any amateur astronomer would be happy to call their own!  

First of all, the Celestron PowerTank Glow 500 Flashlight & Charger is a powerful red LED flashlight with three brightness levels, which is perfect for keeping your eyes dark-adapted any time you need a little helpful light while observing.  What makes the Celestron PowerTank Glow WAY different from an ordinary red flashlight, however, is the 5000mAh 5V lithium-ion battery housed inside!  Charge your smartphone or other small electronics when you need it, and keep it handy at the telescope with included straps.

Next, I don't care how high-tech you are, an actual physical planisphere and collection of star maps is an important accessory for any stargazer!  The Celestron Sky Maps has been around a long time and includes a glow in the dark planisphere for the Northern hemisphere.  Just align the date with the time located around the moveable wheel and you can see what constellations are up!  Open to the star charts and you will see the location of brighter deep sky objects and the finer details of constellations.  There are several so that you'll have a chart to refer to regardless of the season.

Finally, a Moon Filter....it's like sunglasses for your telescope!  Anyone who has observed the Moon through a telescope, spotting scope or even binoculars knows how bright it can be, even when not completely full!  Looking at the Moon without a moon filter blinds you to the finer details.  Think of times you have been out in the snow and suffered a little "snow blindness", or when you've been at the beach on a bright day without your sunglasses.  It's like that with the Moon, and all you have to do to solve the problem is thread this 1.25" Moon Filter onto any 1.25" eyepiece.  Voila, Moon glasses!

Hurry, shop now and save 10% when buying the Stargazer Astronomy Accessory Bundle rather than each piece separately.  You can read more about all three of these wonderful astronomy accessories below.

More About the PowerTank Glow 5000!

• The PowerTank Glow 5000 is a must-have 2-in-1 accessory for amateur astronomers: a red flashlight PLUS a USB power bank for charging mobile devices in the field.

• The "Glow" part of the PowerTank Glow 5000 is a Red LED flashlight that features three brightness levels to preserve your night vision.

• The reason this flashlight can be called a PowerTank is because it sports a rechargeable 5000mAh 5V DC lithium-ion battery to deliver a full recharge to smartphones when you need it...and you know you're going to need it!

• Turn the flashlight on and step through the brightness levels by pushing the power button, or press and hold the same button to turn on the charging capabilities.
