Description
Astronomical Telescope for Beginners and Children, Refractor Telescope with Tripod and Star Map
-
Turns the backyard into an observatory: the wide-aperture lens pulls in enough light for kids and beginners to see the moon and planets clearly
-
Set up in minutes, no tools: the tripod, tube and eyepieces click together with printed and video instructions
-
Capture what you see: the phone adapter lets you snap and share photos of the night sky through the eyepiece
-
Never lose your place in the sky: the included star map helps you identify stars and constellations as you scan
-
Look straight at the moon safely: the metal moon filter controls the light so you can view it directly
Point it at the night sky and the moon's craters snap into focus, the same view that gets a first-time stargazer or a curious kid hooked from the first look. The aperture and multi-coated lens gather enough light to pull in planets and constellations without a dark-sky location, and the star map that comes with it means nobody has to guess what they're looking at. Setup never gets in the way of the moment: the tripod, tube and eyepieces click together with the printed and video instructions, and following them gets every accessory installed in about ten minutes with no tools and no prior experience needed.
This refractor telescope handles the job as a genuine beginner telescope: two eyepieces (H20mm and H6mm) and a 3x Barlow lens give 15X to 150X magnification, and it earns its keep as star gazing equipment you set up once and reach for all season. Open the adjustable tripod (15 to 51 inches, on a rotating wheel), mount the tube, insert the finder and eyepiece, and turn the focus knob for a crisp image — the same steps work for any optical telescope in this class. Attach the phone adapter to capture and share what you find, and use the metal moon filter to look directly at the moon without the glare. Children should use the telescope with an adult — never point it at the sun, even with the moon filter fitted.
