What do you guys think of the celestron accesory kit selling for $99.00? Is it a good price for its quality?

Thanks

I have this set..... It is a great starter set... The 6mm and 4mm have very little eyerelief but are usable.... I mostly use the 32,15, and 9... The barlow is actually pretty good.. Not as good as an ultima but much better than the single lense ones the dealers typically throw in with the scope. The filters are also good quality.

I wouldn't hesitate at all to buy this set as a starter set.

I agree with what everyone has said so far. It is a good deal for the beginning astronomer, to get an idea of what things look like through various focal lengths, but you will ultimately want to ugrade to better eyepieces.

I like it. I can use my Digi-T camera adapter on them all and they are of very good quality. Not on the same par as the Televues or Meade 4000 but a good starter or second set.
