TeleVue TV-60 60mm f/6 APO (Doublet) Refractor OTA

The TeleVue TV-60 60mm f/6 APO (Doublet) Refractor OTA is an excellent choice for the astronomer on the move who demands a high quality compact system. This Apochromatic Doublet is equally capable of delivering exquisite high power solar system and lunar views and crisp, colour-free widefield views of the major deep sky objects. This refractor delivers very high resolution for its aperture and will astound some users with its sharpness. It is also equally at home being used for terrestrial observation (with appropriate terrestrial converter, available as an additional accessory).

Great for on-the-go targets, the 2-stage 1¼" focuser employs a quick-focus drawtube and fine-focus helical thread. Focuser accepts either 45° erector, 60° and 90° diagonals to suit any terrestrial or astronomical target. Please note: along with many instruments of this type, the TV-60 requires 1.25" diagonals or extension tubes to get to focus with the majority of 1.25" eyepieces.

The TV-60's adjustable dovetail balancing bar fits all camera tripods, Tele Vue mounts and mounting bracket for SCTs (available as a separate accessory). Exquisitely machined and anodized all-metal construction, this diminutive refractor is built to last and will fold up for travel to a remarkably compact 265mm/10.5 inches long. The TV-60 comes in a soft carry bag, though a dedicated padded case is also available as a separate accessory.
