Description
Explore lunar surface topography and bright star fields with the Omegon AC 60/700 AZ-1 Telescope beginner refractor system. Designed in Germany, this f/11.7 achromatic telescope combines a 60mm (2.36 inches) aperture with a 700mm focal length. The Omegon AC 60/700 achieves 1.93 arcsecond Dawes resolving power and reaches down to a limiting visual magnitude of 10.7 for beginner stargazers.
The Omegon AC 60/700 AZ-1 Telescope utilizes a two-element air-spaced crown and flint glass doublet objective with multi-coated anti-reflective layers on all air-to-glass surfaces. Its rigid aluminum optical tube features internal matte-black anti-reflection baffles to maximize visual contrast. Supported by an AZ-1 altazimuth fork mount and adjustable aluminum tripod, the entire telescope weighs 3.10 kg (6.83 lbs), while the optical tube weighs only 1.20 kg.
Key Features of Omegon AC 60/700 AZ-1 Telescope
Engineered for introductory planetary and lunar observation, this Omegon AC 60/700 refractor telescope combines an elongated f/11.7 focal profile with a manual fork mount. It natively suppresses chromatic aberrations while delivering high-contrast views across lunar craters, Saturn, and bright stellar targets.

Achromatic Doublet Optics & Precision Focuser
The 60mm multi-coated objective utilizes a long focal profile to eliminate unwanted color fringing around bright celestial objects. Fitted with a standard 1.25-inch rack and pinion focuser, this Omegon telescope supports visual magnification from 9x up to 1200x.
AZ-1 Fork Mount & Complete Visual Accessories
Smooth manual navigation helps beginners locate celestial targets without frustration. The Omegon AC 60/700 AZ-1 features an altazimuth fork mount that tilts and pans smoothly on an adjustable tripod. Accompanied by two quality eyepieces and a 2x Barlow lens, this telescope allows users to easily alter magnifications for lunar and planetary viewing.
- Manual AZ-1 altazimuth fork mount with direct axis integration pins
- Included Super 20mm and Super 10mm eyepieces with 2x Barlow lens element
- 1.25-inch 90-degree star diagonal mirror for comfortable overhead viewing
Omegon AC 60/700 AZ-1 Warranty
The Omegon AC 60/700 AZ-1 Telescope is backed by a 2-year limited warranty covering manufacturing and material defects. The complete beginner kit contains the 60mm refractor OTA, AZ-1 fork mount, adjustable tripod with accessory tray, 5×24 finder scope, 90-degree star diagonal mirror, two Super eyepieces, and a 2x Barlow lens.
