Get a new perspective on nature and the Universe with the ideal day-to-night telescope, Travel Scope 60 DX. This refractor telescope includes a full height tripod and lots of bonus accessories, including a smartphone adapter so you can capture images and video through the eyepiece. It all packs up into a high-quality custom backpack ready to go wherever your adventures take you.
Whether you take it along on your next camping trip or enjoy an impromptu backyard stargazing session, setting up the telescope is a breeze. Even on your first time out, you can assemble the telescope and its accessories in just a few minutes. The adjustable tripod legs allow you to customize the telescope’s height or place it on a raised surface, such as a picnic table.
By night, Travel Scope 60 DX delivers great views of the planets, the Moon, star clusters and brighter deep sky objects like the Orion Nebula and Andromeda Galaxy. During the day, Travel Scope 60 DX doubles as a spotting scope. Enjoy amazing views of birds, wildlife, boats on the water, migrating whales, and so much more.
The entire telescope kit weighs just 5.5 pounds, so you can take it anywhere, hassle-free.
Smartphone adapter and Bluetooth shutter release
To capture the best image, Celestron has also provided a Bluetooth shutter release that allows you to trigger the camera’s shutter on any Android or iOS smartphone remotely, without disturbing the placement of your phone and telescope, for a perfectly steady shot.
Manual Alt-Azimuth telescope
Navigate the sky confidently with Travel Scope 60 DX’s intuitive pan handle. The Alt-Az control with clutch allows for smooth tracking and accurate pointing. Like a photographic tripod, you can move the clutch up, down, left, or right to follow your target in the eyepiece.
