It's the perfect scope for giving any novice their first jaw-dropping glimpses of lunar craters, Saturn's rings, Jupiter's moons, star clusters, and bright nebulas. A definite step up in quality from the standard department-store models, the Observer 60 features two fully coated 1.25" Kellner eyepieces, a 1.25" focuser (not the more common .96" version), an Orion EZ Finder™ II aiming device, and a sturdy aluminum tripod with accessory tray. Everything you need to get started exploring space! Less
