New Meade Instruments 222000 60mm Adventure Scope Refractor Telescope. Comes as pictured - with an H18mm eyepiece, no viewfinder, original tripod stand. Designed for easy transport and quick set up, Meade Instruments' Adventure Scope 60mm f/6 Refractor Telescope is a complete observation rig for making observations of the Moon and planets at night, and to serve as a conventional spotting scope during the day.

This iteration of the scope features a respectable 60mm aperture achromatic doublet refractor optical tube assembly (OTA) with a short 360mm focal length and fast f/6 focal ratio. Its 1.25" rack-and-pinion focuser accepts any 1.25" accessories like the two included eyepieces and 90° erect-image diagonal.

Supporting the OTA and accessories is a manual alt-az mount with a quick release shoe for fast set up and breakdown of the OTA. The mount is attached to a photo-style tripod that features an extendable center column with a hook on the bottom to keep bags off the ground or to add weight for increased stability and vibration-reduction. Meade includes a backpack to safely store and easily carry all the components in this kit including the OTA and tripod, with room for all the included accessories. Achromatic doublet refractor optical design.

Achromatic lens configuration reduces chromatic and spherical aberrations for true color rendition, improved contrast, and edge-to-edge image sharpness. Anti-reflection coated optics improve light transmission through the optical path for brighter images and increased contrast. Rack-and-pinion focuser with 1.25 drawtube.

Integrated dew shield reduces condensation on objective and reduces glareType. Total weight (kg)1,27. No (Only with appropriate Sun filter).
