About Orion Observer Lunar Explorer

Orion Observer Lunar Explorer 2.36" (60mm) Refractor Telescope Bundle comes with a great set of accessories which are ideal for exploring the cratered and mountainous surface of the Moon. The affordable Orion Lunar Explorer Bundle is built around the Observer 60 AZ refractor telescope which will provide great views of the moon with its 60mm aperture glass objective lens and long 700mm focal length. We also include a power-boosting 2x Shorty Barlow Lens, a glare-fighting Moon Filter, a handy Orion MoonMap 260 and a useful Orion Star Target planisphere star chart.

A classic refractor telescope with precision glass optics and great portability, the Orion Observer 60 is a complete backyard telescope package that includes the refractor optical tube, a host of accessories and an adjustable aluminum tripod. The Observer 60 AZ weighs just 5.8 lbs. total when assembled, including the mount and tripod, making it very easy for anyone in the family to transport from the house to the backyard for a night full of stargazing adventure. Close-up views of the Moon's rocky, cratered surface seen through the Observer 60 will give you and your family a new way of looking at the planet's nearest neighbor in the night sky.

The Orion Observer 60 Refractor Telescope offers higher quality and more reliable performance than any telescope you would find in a department store. Featuring an aluminum telescope optical tube and all-glass optics, including a fully anti-reflection coated 60mm aperture achromatic objective lens, the Observer 60 yields crisp, bright views of the night sky. The included Altazimuth mount provides smooth motion in both altitude (up/down) and azimuth (left/right) axes of motion. The sturdy yet lightweight aluminum tripod is adjustable for crowd-pleasing performance and comfort. There's even a handy accessory tray included that attaches to the tripod so you have a convenient spot to place your eyepieces and other astronomy accessories that come with this affordable Lunar Explorer Telescope Bundle.

The Observer 60 Refractor Telescope itself comes with two telescope eyepieces: quality 25mm and 10mm Kellner oculars with 1.25" barrels. the included telescope eyepieces will provide 28x and 70x power magnification options. The included EZ Finder II reflex sight makes aiming the telescope nice and easy following a simple alignment procedure. A 90deg. mirror diagonal is included for comfortable nighttime viewing. The versatile Observer 60 refractor's 1.25" rack-and-pinion focuser adjusts smoothly and can also accept a 1.25" correct-image diagonal (sold separately) if you wish to use the telescope for daytime terrestrial viewing of wildlife, landscapes and more.
