GSO 1.25" Color / Planetary Filter - #82A Light Blue
Planetary filter
I brought the filter in hopes it would enhance the spiral structures around galaxies. It worked especially well on M51 where the spiral arms were enhanced.

Rigel Systems QuikFinder
It works
I bought this to mount on giant binoculars. Even with a 3 degree fov, you get to your target much faster with a good finder. I like the circular reticule. Since you know the fov represented by both circles, it is good for star hopping. I like that ...

Celestron 1.25" Moon Filter # 94119-A

A very beautiful piece of equipment! Can't wait until the weather once cooperates so I can finally use it. Solid and well built and I'm sure it'll perform beyond my expectations.

Coronado 1.25" Secondary Blocking Filter for SolarMax - 10mm # BF10
Extremely expensive
I does the job. This is a basic 1.25" mirror diagonal (that would cost $50) with an ITF (the maier photonics equivalent would cost $75 and the BelOptik equivalent about $200) and the blocking filter itself. This mens that we are paying about $35...

Well made
I needed the extra pair of holes in order to mount this in an unusual way. It was convenient not to need to drill them myself.

Meade #128 1.25" 3x Short-Focus Barlow Lens # 07278
Good so far
When paired with a few of my eyepieces I have found it to work well, I have only had one clear night with it so far. It is very compact for what it is and a good price point.
