Looking for a first telescope that actually delivers — one where the whole family can see Saturn's rings on night one? The Explore One 60mm Refractor comes with everything needed to start observing, all packed into a molded carrying case that makes it easy to set up in the backyard or bring to a friend's place.

Three eyepieces and a 3× Barlow lens give a range of magnifications for wide star fields up to close planetary views, all without extra purchases on day one.

What you'll see:

  • The Moon — craters, mountain ranges, and the jagged terminator line in sharp detail
  • Saturn's rings — clearly visible on good nights, an unforgettable first sight for anyone
  • Jupiter's four Galilean moons as small dots, with hints of cloud bands
  • Open star clusters like the Pleiades and Beehive, beautiful at low power
  • Double stars split into two distinct points of light

What's in the box:

  • 60mm refractor OTA — the telescope tube with fully coated optics
  • Adjustable aluminum tripod — stable and height-adjustable for observers of all ages
  • Red dot finder — makes aiming at objects quick and frustration-free
  • 20mm eyepiece (35×) — best for wide views and finding objects
  • 12.5mm eyepiece (56×) — good all-around magnification for planets and clusters
  • 4mm eyepiece (175×) — high power for lunar craters on steady nights
  • 3× Barlow lens — triples any eyepiece's magnification for an extra power boost
  • 90° diagonal — angles the eyepiece so you look down comfortably rather than straight back
  • Moon filter — reduces glare on bright lunar nights for more comfortable viewing
  • Star map — a printed guide to the night sky to help learn the constellations
  • Molded carrying case — keeps everything organized and protected between sessions
