Celestron Travel Scope 50 with Backpack

Take your observing adventures anywhere with the Celestron Travel Scope 50, a lightweight and versatile refractor telescope designed for both terrestrial and celestial viewing. Its compact design and extremely light 2.2-pound total kit weight make it an excellent companion for spontaneous observing sessions, travel, camping, and outdoor adventures. At night, the Travel Scope 50 lets you explore the Moon, planets, star clusters, and brighter deep-sky objects such as the Orion Nebula and Andromeda Galaxy. During the day, the included erect-image star diagonal produces correctly oriented views, allowing the optical tube to double as a convenient spotting scope for observing scenery and terrestrial subjects. Setting up is quick and straightforward, even for first-time users. The telescope and accessories can be assembled in just a few minutes, while the adjustable tripod legs allow you to customize the viewing height or position the telescope on suitable raised surfaces such as a picnic table. With its remarkably lightweight design, easy setup, and day-and-night versatility, the Travel Scope 50 is ready to go wherever your next adventure takes you.
