Konus KonuStart 700B 60mm AZ Refractor Telescope

The does just what it says in the name - it’s a great start for getting in to the world of astronomy.

If you’re a beginner astronomer with a limited budget, or a parent looking for an entry level telescope for your kid then this is a great option.

The moderate lens size allows this telescope to gather enough light to enjoy meteor showers, to see some details on the lunar surface, or to see larger and brighter planets like Saturn, Venus, and Mars.

The package includes everything you or your child needs to get started in astronomy. The telescope itself, a mount and tripod to hold it steady, eyepieces of different magnifications and a Barlow lens to provide an even more varied magnification range. In addition, a red dot finder makes it easier to align your telescope when you first get set up, and a smart phone adapter lets you capture everything you see.

The refractor design means that with the help of the included erecting eyepiece it can also be used for occasional land viewing.

If you’re looking for an affordable way to get started with astronomy then we’ve got you covered with the KonuStart 60mm.
