So far , so good.
So far , so good. Performs as advertised.
The only question is whether the battery will last if not used for a while.

Baader Q Turret - Quadruplet 1.25" Eyepiece Revolver # BQT 2957010
Turret
This is the first turret I've owned after many years in the hobby. I have been observing Jupiter with it and 4 graduated powers. I think it is great. One trip out and the scope is ready to observe. it is lightweight and the only drawback is no c...

Celestron CGEM Alignment Pin # CGEM-AP
CGEM Alignment PIn
Although this was advertised as being for CGEM and AVX type mounts, it is actually not long enough for a CGEM mount? When I fitted it to my CGEM the azimuth screws hit the top of the pin and scratched the paintwork off. My solution was to re-paint th...

Baader Q Turret - Quadruplet 1.25" Eyepiece Revolver # BQT 2957010
Worth the money
This product is exactly what I expected based on reviews I read. Made of plastic, yes. Nicely constructed, yes. The turret works nicely, smooth and clicks into place firmly when you rotate eyepieces. However , a few observations. With my Televue TV-8...

Celestron FireCel Portable Charging Device, Hand Warmer & Red LED Flashlight # 93535
A welcome addition to any rig
This little hand-warmer/red light is perhaps one of the most welcome additions to any astronomer's rig. It pulls double duty as a hand-held heater and a bright red LED light. The only drawback is everyone will want to borrow it and will drain th...

Celestron Large Base for StarSense / Finderscope # 51710-10
Celestron large finder / StarSense base mount
I own a C14" and just purchased a C9.25" and the 14" came with this base for the finder scope. I purchased another base so I could use the same finder on the 9.25" also. Fits perfectly and just what I needed. Excellent service fro...

Celestron National Park Foundation Rechargeable Power Pack, Hand Warmer, & LED...
Compact and versatile
This is a handy combination device for campers and astronomers. The compact, rounded shape and travel pouch make it easy to carry along. The higher capacity of the 2 models is easily worth the small additional cost. Overall size is similar to other 5...

Baader Q Turret - Quadruplet 1.25" Eyepiece Revolver # BQT 2957010
Way Too Expensive
The convenience of safely changing eyepieces without losing one cannot be understated at all. Build quality is quite cheap. Detents are quite secure, however. It would have been certainly worth it at $40, tops. No regrets. It's the only decent one a...

Baader Q Turret - Quadruplet 1.25" Eyepiece Revolver # BQT 2957010
Works Well
Simple and inexpensive way to easily and quickly change the eyepiece you want to view with. Much cheaper than other turrets like Takahashi's or TEC's. Works well once you get used to how to position it and change ep's. Lightweight plastic construct...

Baader Q Turret - Quadruplet 1.25" Eyepiece Revolver # BQT 2957010
A Great Idea
A nice concept but construction is of thin plastics except for the screws which causes flexture and limited use to small lightweight eyepieces. I ended up throwing it in the garbage can after salvaging the dust covers and screws.

Baader Q Turret - Quadruplet 1.25" Eyepiece Revolver # BQT 2957010
VERY USEFUL
Yes, it is "plastic" (synthetic) and not titanium, but that is to keep the weight down - after all,you are putting this device plus as many as four eyepieces at the end of a lever! It is durable, has solid click-stops and smooth motion. I use it for...

Ingenious little dodad
Great little utility I've managed to used 3 eyepieces of varying strengths and a Webcam at the same time and easily flipped between them without having to refocus each time. I start with the wide angle and gradually zoom in to get accurate positionin...

Baader Q Turret - Quadruplet 1.25" Eyepiece Revolver # BQT 2957010
This thing is all-plastic.
This thing isn't near the quality I would expect from Baader Planetarium.
