Terrestrial Telescope with 91cm
adjustable aluminium tripod and high definition precision
optics. This entry level refracting telescope has a 50mm
objective lens, collecting suffient light to be able to
magnify images up to 50X. The telescope stops short of
offering magnifications which are beyond the normal capabilities
of a 50mm refractor, which we support. This is a real
working telescope and, while it is obviously not as powerful
as other astronomical telescopes in our range, it will
enable your child to see the craters on the moon and other
secrets of the night sky, generating a lot of excitement.
The main difference between a terrestrial and astronomical
telescope is that terrestrial telescopes are fitted with
an extra lens which makes sure the image is the right
way up. Astronomical telescopes generally do away with
this extra correcting lens, since whether the image is
the right way up, or upside down, doesn't make that much
difference. Although this telescope is called an Terrestrial
telescope, it can also of course be used for astronomy.
