TS Optics Telescope AC 60/900 Starscope EQ2-1 (56528)

This classic refractor telescope is ideal for beginners, children, and young people who want clear and high-contrast views of the Moon and planets. The fully coated objective lens and long focal length minimize chromatic aberration, making bright objects like Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn appear sharp and detailed. With a reversing lens, the telescope is also suitable for daytime nature observation. Despite its lightweight design and easy handling, it can also show some bright deep-sky objects such as the Orion Nebula or the Hercules Cluster.

The EQ-2 equatorial mount allows precise alignment with the pole star and smooth tracking of celestial objects using fine adjustments in right ascension and declination. The extendable aluminium tripod provides a stable base and can be adjusted from 71 cm to 121 cm in height, making it comfortable for users of different ages.
