The Infinity 60mm telescope has a 60mm aperture and focal length of 800mm (f/13.3). The Alt-azimuth mount includes a slow-motion control rod that allows for easy and quick viewing across different directions. With the included accessories such as a Red-Dot Viewfinder, 2x Barlow Lens, and (2) Eyepieces that provide varying levels of magnification - this will give you versatility with short and long range distances, the Infinity 60mm comes complete with everything you need to view the wonders of the night sky the first time out. When fully assembled, the Infinity 60mm weighs approximately 6 lbs.
Each Infinity telescope also comes with AutoStar® Suite Astronomer Edition Software on DVD. This bonus DVD will help you learn the night sky and displays more than 10,000 celestial objects including planets, stars, galaxies, and nebulae. Furthermore, the Infinity Series telescopes are perfect for the observer who views both astronomical and terrestrial objects - meaning, you can observe objects in both the sky and on land.
The Infinity Series are refracting telescopes and feature six (6) different apertures including: 50mm, 60mm, 70mm, 80mm, 90mm & 102mm. These are the perfect grab-and-go telescopes with their extremely light-weight setup that allows for maximum portability. Whether you're looking to take in the views of mountain tops or looking up into the night sky, Meade's Infinity Telescopes will help you capture amazing views. |
