How many lens come with the telescope. We received one big one and a small black with a small hole in it. What is that black cap?

That is all that comes with the telescope. The large black cap is to put on the open end of the telescope tube.

I got 2 lenses with mine (from a year or so ago) a 6mm and a 15mm. The 15mm lens gives a wider field of view while the 6mm lens "zooms" in on the target object for more detail - they should be labeled.The cap with the hole in it is used to calibrate the telescope mirrors (it's called a Collimation cap) - you should not need to use it. If you are interested in all the ins and outs of collimation, you can google it, but I've had my scope for over a year and have not needed to go through the process.

Basically everything in the picture, it comes with 2 eye pieces as another user stated.http://www.celestron.com/astronomy/celestron-astromaster-70eq.html Under the support tab, you can download the manual - it tells you everything that is in the box.

There are lens caps for both the front and back of each lens so the lens in the camera has it's front lens cap and the other lenses are protected by their lens caps. This is really a fantastic deal.

I am not sure if all of them come with them but I know the one I bought came with lens caps for it to protect it when not in use.

Comes with hood and front and rear caps. Nice lens. Good reviews from reputable sites. Mine has gone up in value ($) since I purchased it. I researched it well as I always do. Would put up against Nikon. It's my only non Nikon lens I own.

Sheryle, can you locate the company that you purchased this from on Amazon, if so, contact them as I responded to their inquiry how satisfied I was with this telescope and I did get a response back from them... and I have a positive feeling that they would send what you need to set up your scope. My grandson loves his telescope

The lens I have is silver. I'm not sure if it comes in black but I usually see silver.

Thanks to all for the replies. Got the official word from Nikon support - eyepiece caps only with this model.

Yes it has a lens cap. Like virtually all lenses out there, they all have a cap to protect the front glass from being scratched while not in use. Not to be confused with a lens hood, which it does not come with...

It did come with a lens. At least the one I ordered. I can't remember which lens. I gave it as a gift a year ago and recall. Sorry for not having all the information....

The ones we have come with a black frame, and 2 lenses. Also included is a cleaning kit (drops and cloth) and an elastic strap.

Mine came with both the lens cap and the hood. I was very pleasantly surprised.

There are no caps on the lens. Those "caps" are merely the absence of light. The lens is open-ended.

Thanks for coming back to respond. I was wondering what actually shipped with the lens.
