Details
Your Gateway to the Stars Starts Here. Designed with beginners and curious explorers in mind, this popular refractor telescope pairs fully coated 60mm glass optics with a hassle-free altazimuth mount to deliver bright, crisp views of celestial and terrestrial targets alike. From the rugged terrain of the lunar surface to the delicate rings of Saturn, the optical system gathers enough light to reveal details that will leave first-time observers genuinely awestruck. Whether you're setting up in the backyard after dinner or packing it along for a weekend camping trip, the lightweight aluminum tripod and tool-free assembly mean you can go from box to stargazing in mere minutes—no instruction manual Ph.D. required.
What truly sets this telescope apart at its price point is the generous accessory bundle that comes standard. Two eyepieces—a 20mm for wide, sweeping views and a 4mm for close-up detail—combine with an included 3x Barlow lens to unlock a versatile range of magnifications up to 175×. An erect image star diagonal ensures that daytime targets like distant birds, landscapes, and wildlife appear right-side-up and correctly oriented, making the scope a genuine dual-purpose instrument. A built-in finderscope helps you zero in on targets quickly, while the downloadable Celestron Starry Night software turns your computer into an interactive planetarium so you can plan sessions, identify constellations, and deepen your understanding of the cosmos before you even step outside.
- 60mm Fully Coated Optics – Deliver bright, sharp images of the moon, planets, and brighter deep-sky objects like the Orion Nebula
- No-Tool Altazimuth Mount – Pan-handle control with clutch for smooth, intuitive tracking across the sky
- Adjustable Aluminum Tripod – Lightweight and portable with variable height settings for seated or standing observation
- Complete Accessory Kit – Two eyepieces (20mm & 4mm), 3x Barlow lens, erect image diagonal, and finderscope included
- Starry Night Software – Downloadable planetarium program for learning the night sky and planning observing sessions
- Dual-Purpose Design – Equally suited for nighttime astronomy and daytime terrestrial spotting
Ideal for families, students, scouts, and anyone taking their first steps into astronomy, this refractor consistently ranks among the best values in entry-level telescopes. It's the kind of instrument that turns an ordinary clear night into an event—watching the moon's phases evolve week by week, catching Jupiter's Galilean moons lined up like tiny pearls, or simply scanning a treeline at dusk for wildlife. Compact enough to store in a closet and light enough for a child to carry, it removes every barrier between you and the universe. If you've been waiting for the right moment to look up, this is the telescope—and the moment—to do it.
