The special edition National Park Foundation Travel Scope 60 is designed with traveling in mind and offers high-quality performance at an exceptional value. The Travel Scope 60 is a refractor telescope perfect for terrestrial and celestial viewing on the go. The Travel Scope can view the planets, moon, star clusters and brighter deep sky objects like the Orion Nebula and Andromeda Galaxy at night and with the erect image star diagonal makes the optical tube ideal for using as a spotting scope during the day.
Setting up the telescope is a breeze and will have you observing in no time. Even on your first time out, you can assemble the telescope and its accessories in just a few minutes. The adjustable tripod legs allow you to customize the telescope’s height or place it on raised surfaces like a picnic table.
Navigate the sky with a pan handle Alt-Az control with clutch for smooth and accurate pointing. Move the clutch in an up/down, left/right fashion to track your object in the eyepiece.
Enjoy the details of the Moon without the brightness. It only takes a second or two to transform your regular eyepiece into one suited for lunar observations—simply thread this filter onto the bottom of your eyepieces. The Moon Filter is also helpful when observing Venus or bright terrestrial scenes to reduce glare.
