Features

The Refractor Advantage

The classic quality of images viewed through a refractor telescope sets it apart from other telescope designs. Thanks to the absence of mirrors in its optical system, a refractor provides generally sharper images. Additionally, the lack of a secondary mirror shadow makes it well-suited for terrestrial viewing when paired with a 45° erecting image diagonal or an erecting tube.

Superb Imaging Qualities

The Sky-Watcher achromatic refractor, boasting a 60mm aperture, is fully multi-coated to enhance light transmission. This design ensures clear, high-contrast images of the moon and planets, making it an excellent choice for those new to astronomy due to its simplicity and ease of use.

Sky-Watcher Telescopes

In late 1999 the Sky-Watcher brand was born in Canada. Today Sky-Watcher is recognised as being one of the world's largest telescope suppliers. With a mission statement like the following, it is no wonder they are one of the world's biggest brands for night gazing.
