Description
The Travel Scope 60 is a refractor telescope perfect for terrestrial and celestial viewing on the go. By night, you can use your Travel Scope to view the planets, Moon, star clusters, and brighter deep sky objects like the Orion Nebula and Andromeda Galaxy. During the day, attach the included erect image diagonal and the optical tube is ideal for using as a spotting scope to view landscapes, wildlife, and more.
Setting up the telescope is a breeze, so you can enjoy the wonders of the universe in no time. Even on your first time out, you can assemble the telescope and its accessories in just a few minutes. The adjustable tripod legs allow you to customize the telescope’s height or place it on raised surfaces like a picnic table. The total telescope kit weighs in at just 3.8 pounds—perfect for impromptu observing sessions or transporting wherever life’s adventures take you.
Manual Alt-Azimuth telescope
Navigate the sky with a panning handle Alt-Az control with clutch for smooth and accurate pointing. Move the clutch in an up/down, left/right fashion to track your object in the eyepiece.
Accessories Included
The Travel Scope 60 comes with two eyepieces (20mm and 8mm), a 45° erect image diagonal, a 3x Barlow lens, a 5x20 finderscope, a Moon filter, and a travel backpack. The two eyepieces offer different magnifications to view your intended object. The erect image diagonal allows for right-side-up viewing ideal for terrestrial subjects but can also be used for celestial objects. The 5x20 finderscope will help you quickly center an object in your eyepiece for easier observing. Connect the 3x Barlow lens to your eyepieces to boost your magnification by a factor of three. Paired with the included eyepieces, the Barlow delivers 54x and 135x magnification for up-close views.
Moon Filter – Enjoy the details of the Moon without the brightness. It only takes a second or two to transform your regular eyepiece into one suited for lunar observations—simply thread this filter onto the bottom of your eyepieces. The Moon Filter is also helpful when observing Venus or bright terrestrial scenes to reduce glare.
Travel Backpack – A custom backpack comes with your telescope, giving you a safe place to store your optical tube, tripod, eyepieces and accessories comfortably. This backpack also makes traveling with your telescope is a breeze. All the components fit inside of the backpack with room for you to add other accessories later.
