60mm Achromatic Telescope Making Kit
Build your own beginner friendly refractor telescope with this 60 mm achromatic lens kit. It includes everything you need to assemble a functional telescope at home, from the 60 mm objective lens and 700 mm focal length optics to a 1.25 inch wide eyepiece, star diagonal, tube rings and adapters. All essential optical parts are provided, and you only need to purchase two PVC tubes locally to complete the telescope body.
Once assembled, this 60 mm refractor can reveal a surprising amount of the night sky. Enjoy clear views of lunar craters, the phases of Venus, sunspots with a proper solar filter, Jupiter and its four moons, Saturn’s rings and bright double stars like Albireo and Mizar. Under dark skies you can also explore open clusters, large globular clusters and many of the classic Messier objects.
Lightweight, educational and rewarding to build, this kit is perfect for students, hobbyists or anyone who wants an affordable start in astronomy while learning how a real telescope works.
