I'd contact Celestron directly.

They shouldn't cost too much.

Well that is very kind. I'd better get on and ask Celestron then! I was kind've hoping that they would be a generic thing and someone would say "just get one of each of these..." but I've asked elsewhere and no one seems to have been forthcoming. Thanks again, will bear this all in mind...
