Bushnell 181561 Refractor Telescope 600x50mm

Bushnell 600x50mm Refractor Telescope

This Bushnell refractor telescope offers a 600 millimeter focal length and a 50 millimeter objective lens. It delivers 50x total magnification with a 0.93 degree field of view. The optical tube measures 33 inches long by 11 inches wide by 7 inches high. It features multi-coated optics and a manual focus mechanism.

Suits beginners and casual sky watchers

The 50x magnification and narrow field of view suit first-time observers viewing the moon or bright planets. Buyers who want deep-space detail on faint galaxies or nebulae should look at larger aperture instruments. Photographers needing automated tracking or motorised mounts will not find those features here. The package weighs 6.90 pounds and measures 32.63 by 11.00 by 6.63 inches.

Check your setup before ordering

Verify you have a stable tabletop or tripod able to hold the 33 inch optical tube. Confirm your camera or smartphone adapter matches the eyepiece diameter for the listed camera and smartphone compatibility. Ensure you have enough clear space for the 11 inch width during assembly and use. The manual focus requires direct access to the focuser knob.
