The Explore One 60mm refractor (Theseus) is a beginner telescope kit for kids and families that's ready to explore the Moon, planets, and bright stars. A refractor telescope uses a front lens to gather light and form bright, sharp images, and at 60mm with a long 700mm focal length (f/12) this scope favors crisp, high-contrast views — great for lunar and planetary observing.

It includes three interchangeable eyepieces plus a 1.5x erecting eyepiece for magnifications from about 35x to 262x, and a red-dot finder makes locating targets easy for newcomers.

Who it's for

Great for kids and families who want a complete, versatile 60mm refractor for their first views of the night sky. New to the hobby? See our guide on how to pick your first telescope.
