Product Description

The Fun Scope is no toy, but it is great for kids and young adults who show an interest in space and astronomy. Fun Scope is a real reflecting telescope with a 76mm (3 inch) diameter polished spherical mirror which allows you to capture 60 percent more light than a typical 60mm beginner’s telescope. More light gathered means the Fun Scope will provide views of the cosmos that are brighter and clearer than views in smaller diameter telescopes. What’s more, the Fun Scope Moon Kit includes the Orion Moon Map 260 – a detailed map of the Earth’s Moon which makes it easy for budding astronomers to find out the official names of the craters and other Moon features they explore using the Fun Scope reflector. You’ll get two eyepieces with the Fun Scope: a 20mm eyepiece which gives a 15x view, and a 10mm eyepiece which lets you observe at more powerful, 30x magnification. Every night you use the Fun Scope, start with the 20mm eyepiece to see a wider, less powerful view, then you can boost the magnification by using the 10mm eyepiece to take a closer look. The Fun Scope also includes a very useful red-dot aiming tool called a reflex sight which makes it easy to aim the telescope at objects in the sky. The Fun Scope’s tabletop mount arrives pre-assembled in the box so you don’t have to worry about assembly. If there isn’t a table located where you want to use the pint-sized reflector telescope, the entire Fun Scope assembly can be mounted onto a tripod equipped with a 3/8 inch or ¼ inch-20 threaded post since the Fun Scope features a built-in 3/8 inch tripod adapter and included ¼ inch-20 threaded bushing. (Tripods sold separately.)
