Binorum Prime 50/600 AZ 50mm Refractor Telescope
The Binorum Prime 50/600 AZ children's telescope is the ideal first step into astronomy for young enthusiasts. This quality refractor features a 50mm objective lens with a 600mm focal length, offering excellent value for money. Its compact design and simple controls make it easy for even the youngest astronomers to explore the night sky on their own.
Optics and image quality
The telescope uses a quality 50mm achromatic objective lens that gathers enough light for observing the most important objects in the night sky. With a 600mm focal length and a focal ratio of f/12, the optical system delivers sharp, high-contrast images with minimal optical aberrations. These parameters make it a solid choice for both planetary observation and basic deep-sky viewing.
What is included
The Binorum Prime 50/600 AZ comes with everything you need to start observing straight away:
- 12mm eyepiece - delivers 50x magnification for wide-field views
- 6mm eyepiece - delivers 100x magnification for detailed views of the Moon and planets
- Finderscope - makes it easy to locate objects in the sky
- Sturdy tripod with smooth height adjustment - comfortable for users of different heights
- Basic user guide with tips for first observations and instrument care
Easy-to-use azimuth mount
The telescope comes with a practical azimuth mount that allows intuitive movement both horizontally and vertically. This type of mount is especially well suited to beginners - it requires no complex alignment and no knowledge of astronomical coordinates. The smooth controls let you follow objects as they move across the sky due to the Earth's rotation.
What you can observe
Even with a 50mm aperture, the Binorum Prime 50/600 AZ reveals a surprising range of objects:
- The Moon - craters, mountain ranges and lunar seas in striking detail
- Planets - Venus, Mars, Jupiter with its four largest moons, and Saturn with its rings clearly visible
- Deep-sky objects - the brightest star clusters, nebulae and galaxies
- Double stars and colourful stars for additional variety
Built to last
Binorum Prime is designed with durability in mind. The robust construction keeps the instrument stable during observation and transport. Its compact size makes it easy to carry to darker skies outside the city, where conditions for astronomical observation are far better. No maintenance is required beyond occasional cleaning of the optical surfaces.
Quick and simple assembly
Setting up the telescope is straightforward enough for children to manage with minimal adult help. All parts connect with simple screw fittings, and the whole process takes just a few minutes. A clear setup guide is included in the box.
