Bintel Beginner Telescope Upgrade Kit

Take your stargazing to the next level with the Bintel Beginner Telescope Upgrade Kit, designed to enhance your lunar observations. The Moon has long been the first celestial target for astronomers, both amateur and experienced. Its proximity and striking beauty make it an inviting object to observe, often sparking the curiosity of those new to stargazing. With its craters, plains, and fascinating features, the Moon is an accessible and captivating starting point for anyone exploring the night sky. This essential kit includes two items that will transform your experience of the Moon: the Celestron Observer's Map of the Moon and the Orion Moon Map 260.

Orion Moon Map 260

Embark on a guided lunar adventure with the Orion Moon Map 260, a must-have for any backyard astronomer. This meticulously detailed map identifies over 260 lunar features, including craters, valleys, mountain ranges, ancient lava flows, and the successful landing sites of both US and Soviet lunar missions. The map offers two viewing perspectives: a correct-image view for standard observations, and a reversed (mirror image) view for easy use with binoculars or telescopes.

The map’s laminated design ensures it’s durable and weather-resistant, providing protection against dew, dirt, and the elements. It measures 64.5 cm x 27.9 cm when unfolded and folds to a portable 21.6 cm x 27.9 cm size. On the map, each lunar feature is cross-referenced by number, size, and description, making it easy to identify fascinating areas on the Moon’s surface. Whether you’re a seasoned astronomer or a beginner, the Orion Moon Map 260 is the perfect companion to guide your lunar observations, whether you're at home or on the go.

Bintel Moon Filter
Viewing the Moon through a telescope can often be overwhelming due to its intense brightness, which can obscure fine details. The Bintel Moon Filter reduces the Moon’s glare, allowing your eyes to relax and revealing more intricate features with greater clarity. Perfect for near-full Moon observations, this filter screws onto most 1.25” eyepieces in just seconds and enhances your overall lunar experience. It’s not only great for the Moon but also helps when observing bright planets like Venus or terrestrial scenes. (Note: this filter is not suitable for solar viewing.)

This kit is the perfect upgrade for anyone looking to enhance their lunar observations. With the Orion Moon Map 260 to guide your exploration and the Bintel Moon Filter to improve clarity, you'll be able to experience the Moon in a whole new way. It’s an ideal addition to your telescope setup, ensuring more detailed and enjoyable lunar views with every session.
