Meade Infinity 60mm Refractor Telescope
The Meade Infinity 60mm AZ Refractor Telescope is a lightweight and compact refractor ideal for your first acquaintance with the space. High-quality optics ensure bright and clear images. 60mm objective lens allows you to see lunar craters up to 8 km in size, the phases of Venus, Jupiter's belts, the rings of Saturn and many other objects of the Solar system. Moreover, this telescope can be used for terrestrial observations – the kit includes a special erecting prism for this purpose.
