Description
Beginners seeking an ultralight setup for moon gazing and landscape spotting rely on the Omegon AC 50/600 AZ Telescope starter refractor kit. Designed in Germany, this compact f/12 refractor telescope features a 50mm (1.97 inches) aperture and a 600mm focal length. The Omegon AC 50/600 delivers 2.32 arcsecond Dawes resolving power and reaches magnitude 10.3 for stargazing.
Built for easy handling, the Omegon AC 50/600 AZ Telescope features a two-element air-spaced crown and flint glass objective with fully coated anti-reflective optics. Its roll-formed aluminum tube construction keeps the optical tube weight at just 0.80 kg, with a combined assembly weight of 2.20 kg (4.85 lbs). The long f/12 focal ratio suppresses chromatic fringing, providing clean views of the lunar surface and bright landscapes.
Key Features of Omegon AC 50/600 AZ Telescope
Created for entry-level amateur observation, this Omegon AC 50/600 starter refractor telescope pairs high-contrast optics with a lightweight fork mount. Its compact aluminum tripod and versatile accessory set make lunar viewing and terrestrial scanning simple for beginners of all ages.
- 50mm (1.97 inches) aperture with 600mm focal length and long f/12 focal ratio
- Two-element air-spaced crown and flint glass achromatic objective layout
- Fully coated anti-reflective optical matrix for enhanced light throughput
- 0% secondary mirror obstruction for unobstructed refractor clarity
- Lightweight roll-formed aluminum tube with protective synthetic end rings
- 0.965-inch mini-format drawtube focuser with manual adjustment dial wheels
- Simple altazimuth fork mount head on a lightweight aluminum tripod
- 5×24 optical crosshair finder scope mounted to rear barrel
Long Focal Ratio Achromatic Objective
The two-element air-spaced optical design utilizes an f/12 focal layout to natively control color fringing around bright targets. With zero central obstruction, this portable Omegon starter telescope supports useful visual magnifications ranging from 7x up to 100x.
Altazimuth Fork Mount & Accessory Kit
Straightforward operation is essential for novice observers exploring the night sky. The Omegon AC 50/600 AZ includes an intuitive altazimuth fork mount that swivels smoothly across both axes. Packed with three eyepieces and a 2x Barlow lens, this versatile refractor kit offers multiple magnification choices straight out of the box.
