PowerSeeker 60AZ is a lens telescope that collects over 70 times more light than the human eye. It is mounted on an azimuthal assembly of a versatile application suitable for both astronomical and terrestrial observations. The 60-mm lens allows observation of the Sun (special filter required), the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter along with moons, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Within the limits of the scope of the telescope are the brightest comets, asteroids and beyond the Planetary System: galaxies, nebulae, globular and open clusters, double and multiple stars. Due to the low weight, the telescope is ideally suited as a portable device that can take vehicles in regions with better air transparency far from big cities. | • Optical system: | refractor (lens telescope) | | • Diameter of the mirror: | 60 mm | | • Focal length of the lens: | 700 mm | | • lighted: | 1/12 | | • Optical layers: | FC | | • Extract: | 1.25 " | | • Range of useful magnifications (min / max): | 8.5x / 142x | | • Limit range: | 11.4 magnitude | | • Image orientation: | terrestrial, not inverted up-down | | • Length of the optical tube: | 711 mm | | • Weight: | 3180 g |

This device focuses a lot of light. Looking directly at the sun through this device can result in partial or complete loss of vision. For the observation of the Sun, we recommend the safest method of spectacle projection, that is, projecting the image of the target of our day star on a piece of paper.
