The Discovery Sky T60 model is a classic altazimuth refractor. It is a great choice for beginner users. Its optics allow observation of many objects in outer space (you can easily observe the Moon), and at the same time, learning to operate it only takes a couple of minutes. The expanded accessory kit is another undeniable advantage of this telescope: you don't need to purchase anything separately! The kit even includes an educational book about outer space.
All objects can be observed with different magnifying powers. Replace the eyepiece or add a Barlow lens to change the magnification range. The kit includes an erecting eyepiece and a diagonal mirror for terrestrial observations. These accessories allow you to use the telescope as a powerful spyglass. Use the optical finder mounted on the telescope tube to locate celestial objects.
The altazimuth mount features a micro-screw on the vertical axis that allows you to aim the telescope precisely and smoothly at the selected object. The tripod is made of aluminum alloy and is equipped with an accessory tray. The tripod height is adjustable, so the telescope can be easily adjusted according to the user's height. The tripod is stable. It is stable on uneven surfaces.
The educational book "Space. Non-empty emptiness" will be of great help in learning the basic principles of astronomy. This colorful guide describes, in an accessible way, all aspects of the Solar System (the Sun, the planets and their satellites), meteors and comets, distant stars, and much more. The book contains many vivid images and suggestions for using a telescope.
