What is the sequence of placing Barrow Lens, Eye Piece and the Filters in the telescope( physically)? Is combining multiple filters useful? I own NexStar 130.

Filters attach to the eyepiece. But there are differences in placement of the Barlow depending upon length. However, that isn't pertinent to the NexStar 130. If you were to use a Refractor, for example, a long Barlow would be placed between the Focuser and the Star Diagonal. A short Barlow would be placed between Star Diagonal and eyepiece. But for your situation, the color filter is attached to eyepiece at the bottom (eyepieces generally have internal threads where the filter can be screwed into place using a gentle twisting motion; finger-tight only, do not overtighten) and the assembled eyepiece/filter inserted into the short Barlow. None of my Barlows have such threads at the bottom that I have noticed, but your situation may vary. But yes, you can combine filters of some colors and types. For example, combining a polarization filter with a color filter can be used to reduce glare and bring out detail. Experiment to find what works best for your current situation in accordance with the object to be observed. But this stacking of filters only will work for filters with both sides threaded for the purpose.

Say, for what models of telescopes is this kit fits? I have celestron astromaster 130

These are 1.25 inch eyepiece and filters. They fit the smaller modern scopes with 1.25" focusers, and also work in the larger 2 inch focusers if you have the 2" to 1.25" step down adapter. The smaller 6 and 8mm eyepieces are difficult to use for people with eyeglasses, they have short eye-relief (meaning you have to get your eye very close to the lens to see the entire field of view); Using the 2X Barlow on the larger lenses helps them magnify more, while retaining better eye-relief. This kit is a good value for the money, but if you become serious about this hobby, you will be adding higher end eyepieces to this starter set.

Hi can use for Celestron 31036 AstroMaster

if the Celestron 31036 AstroMaster takes a 1.25 inch eyepiece it should work.

is there any piece included in this kit to look at the sun?

I purchased a sun filter that fits on the front end of the telescope. it is like very fragile aluminum foil - and it worked great... the sun becomes an orange ball and it worked great for eclipse and also you can see sun spots... NEVER LOOK AT THE SUN THROUGH YOUR SCOPE WITHOUT A GOOD QUALITY SUN FILTER...DON'T TAKE SHORT CUTS OR CHEAP 'TRICKS' TO VIEW THE SUN. The part I used is a Celestron Model #94162 Astro Solar Filter 8"... good luck.

The quality and variety of the optics in this kit are great. They're not top of the line (that's the X-Cel line), but for an amateur looking to have fun with his telescope and also be conscientious of his budget, the price is unbeatable. The pieces I use the most are the moon filter, the 32mm, the 17mm, and the 6mm. Just these pieces alone cost more than the kit, and you have all the other items to play with, plus the case which is actually pretty nice and customizable (I cut extra holes in it to fit my erect image lens and a few other optics I had). The barlow is ok, nothing to write home about. Definitely recommend it if you don't already have the pieces I mentioned.

Je n'ai pas assez d'expérience en astronomie pour juger de la qualité d'oculaires mais dés que l'on prend on main les lentilles, on sent une grande différence de qualité avec celles fournies avec le télescope (Celestron 130 eq md). Concernant l'utilisation, je n'ai pas pu faire énormément de tests, l'achat est trop récent mais on remarque rapidement que l'on a de plus grandes possibilités. Il y a un logement dans la valises pour permettre l'insertion d'autres oculaires. La valise aluminium est robuste (clé pour verrouillage). Mon commentaire est moins constructif que celui de Patreides beaucoup plus connaisseur que moi(voir un peu plus haut), que je remercie, il m'a permis de déterminer mon achat et de patienter jusqu'à son prix le plus bas. Malgré tout je laisse un commentaire, il vous permettra d'avoir un autre avis, celui d'un amateur.

Ho un telescopio Celestron Astromaster 130 EQ e con questi filtri e oculari si riescono a vedere perfettamente i crateri della Luna e le calotte polari di Marte inoltre la valigetta è molto pratica con anche spazio in più per aggiungere altri filtri e oculari. Certo non è il massimo degli oculari esistenti ma per iniziare è più che buono. Ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo. Servizio perfetto da parte di Amazon dato che l'ho ricevuto con addirittura 5 giorni di anticipo. CONSIGLIATO A CHI VUOLE AVVICINARSI AL MONDO DELL'ASTRONOMIA.
