Celestron X-Cel Series 1.25 in - 10mm Eyepiece.

The 10mm high power X-Cel eyepiece is a 6-element fully multi-coated optical design, the X-Cel utilizes extra low dispersion (ED) glass on its most highly curved surfaces, to minimize chromatic aberration that can hinder sharp planetary views. With a wide 55° apparent field of view, and a large 25mm clear aperture the X-Cel is one of the most comfortable eyepieces to use.

This exciting game for the whole family encourages exploration of the many intriguing worlds in our solar system. Players have fun getting to know the best "tourist" sights on each planet. Use the "secret decoder" to check your answers and collect as many planets as you can as you race family members or friends from Mercury to Pluto. 4th grade and up.


Moon Mission Game Learn about conditions on the Moon and teach your children teamwork with this cooperative family board game from Family ASTRO, our national program for family activities at the ASP.

Race against time in an effort to retrieve damaged instruments scattered across the lunar landscape. Players must work together to accomplish their mission and get everyone safely back to Grimaldi Moon Base before the long lunar night falls (day and night on the Moon each last about 15 Earth days). Success depends on players developing a joint strategy, understanding conditions on the Moon, and a bit of luck.
