National Geographic 50/600 50-100x50 Product description

  1. Classic Refractor Design: The National Geographic 50/600 telescope features a traditional achromatic refractor design, which uses lenses to bend and focus light. This construction is known for delivering crisp, high-contrast images, making it an ideal instrument for both astronomical and terrestrial observations. It provides a clear, un-inverted view, perfect for viewing the Moon, bright planets, and distant landscapes.

  2. Versatile Magnification: Equipped with a 600mm focal length and included eyepieces, this telescope offers a versatile magnification range from 50x up to 100x. This allows users to easily switch between wider fields of view for celestial objects or zoomed-in details for closer planetary and lunar exploration, as well as terrestrial viewing of nature and scenery.

  3. Portable and User-Friendly: Designed with beginners in mind, the 50/600 telescope is lightweight and compact, making it exceptionally portable and easy to set up. Its intuitive alt-azimuth mount allows for simple point-and-look navigation across the sky, ensuring that users can quickly locate and track desired objects without complex adjustments. This ease of use encourages spontaneous stargazing sessions.

  4. Quality Optics: The telescope's 50mm aperture lens is crafted from quality optical glass, ensuring good light gathering capabilities for its size. This allows for clear views of celestial bodies like the Moon's craters and some of the brighter planets. The included 5x24 finderscope assists in quickly locating objects, making the observing experience more enjoyable and less frustrating for novices.
