Doerr AC 60/700 Mars 66 AZ-2 Telescope

Description

Manual lunar observation begins with the compact Doerr AC 60/700 Mars 66 AZ-2 Telescope, an achromatic refractor featuring a 60 mm aperture, 700 mm focal length, and listed f/11.7 optical ratio. Its AZ-2 alt-azimuth mount includes a micro-adjustment altitude rod, while the SR4, H12.5, and H20 eyepieces, 2x Barlow lens, 1.5x erecting eyepiece, 90-degree diagonal, 5×24 finder, Moon filter, aluminum tripod, and accessory tray provide a complete manual observing setup.

The 1.25-inch rack-and-pinion focuser accepts the supplied eyepieces and Barlow lens, while the erecting eyepiece supports upright viewing of suitable terrestrial subjects. The mount requires no batteries and provides direct manual altitude and azimuth control, making setup straightforward for lunar, planetary, and daytime observation, while the Moon filter should be reserved for lunar use and never treated as solar protection.
