Bresser Telescope AC 60/700 Arcturus AZ (54008)

This 60mm aperture telescope is an excellent beginner's tool, gathering 70 times more light than the naked eye. With a maximum magnification of 120x, it allows for detailed observations of planets such as Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars. The Moon’s cratered surface is also a fascinating target, with its appearance changing under different lighting conditions caused by its phases. For daytime use, nature observation is possible by adding an erecting lens or an Amici prism.

Focusing is performed using an adjustment knob on the rack-and-pinion focuser, ensuring precise sharpness that stays stable during observations. This telescope is also a great addition for advanced astronomers or those transitioning to more powerful systems. Its optics are suitable for use as a guide scope, which can be mounted on larger telescopes for imaging or guiding purposes.
