The Explore One CF350 50mm carbon-fiber refractor is a compact tabletop beginner telescope with a stylish silver carbon-fiber wrap. A refractor telescope uses a front lens to gather light and form sharp, bright images, and this small 50mm scope on its simple alt-azimuth mount is easy to set up on a table or desk for quick, casual stargazing.

With a short 350mm focal length (f/7), it gives wide, forgiving views that make finding the Moon and bright objects simple — an approachable, portable first scope.

Who it's for

Perfect for beginners and kids who want an easy, portable tabletop telescope for the Moon and bright objects. New to the hobby? See our guide on how to pick your first telescope.

What you'll see
