Telescope

Your first clear look at the craters of the moon or the rings of Saturn is a moment you never forget. HorizonOptix telescopes are chosen for beginners, kids and families who want that moment without a complicated setup.

Refractor and reflector telescopes

Our 70mm and 80mm refractor telescopes are light, tool-free and ready in minutes, which makes them ideal first telescopes. The 76mm/700mm reflector gathers more light for planets and brighter deep-sky objects. Most kits include a tripod, multiple eyepieces and a smartphone adapter so you can photograph what you see.

How to choose

Aperture (the first number, in mm) decides how much detail you can see; focal length decides magnification with a given eyepiece. For a child or a first-time stargazer, a 70mm refractor is the easiest place to start. Pair any telescope with our zoom eyepieces, carry backpack or tripod from the Accessories collection.
