The National Geographic 50mm Portable Refractor Telescope (RF360MM) is made to go wherever adventure takes you. With its ultra-compact design, this easy-to-use refractor is an ideal travel companion and a great starter instrument for both daytime nature watching and nighttime moon gazing. Spend an afternoon visually exploring distant landscape features or getting a closer view of wildlife without disturbing it. Once the stars come out, visit the chiseled ridges and craters of the lunar surface or tour some of the night sky's brightest objects. For added versatility, the telescope comes with two interchangeable Huygens eyepieces (20mm and 12.5mm), providing magnifications of 18x and 28.8x. The full-size tripod ensures comfortable viewing, and the panhandle mount smoothly moves the telescope up, down and side to side.
