- Product Name: Travel Scope National Park Foundation 60mm Refractor Telescope
- Color: Black
- Additional Dimensions
- Optical Tube Dimension Length: 381 millimeters
- Objective Lens Diameter: 60 millimeters (Generally, the larger the diameter of the objective lens, the greater the light-collecting power and the brighter images will appear.)
- Dimensions

- Tripod Included: true
- Material
- Material: Other
- Features
- Magnification Type: Variable (Variable magnification indicates the presence of a zoom function on the device, but fixed magnification cannot be adjusted by the user.)
- Optical Design: Refractor (There are three primary optical designs for telescopes: refractor, reflector, or catadioptric. Refractors use lenses, reflectors use mirror(s), and catadioptric telescopes use a combination of both to form images.)
- Mount Type: Manual alt-azimuth
- Tripod Mountable: Yes
- Imaging
- Magnification: 142 times
- Exposure Control
- Focal Length: 360 millimeters (The distance from an optical device's primary lens or mirror to the point where light rays come together in a single focused point, used to determine a device's magnifying power.)
- Other
- Limiting Visual Magnitude: 11 (Measures the brightness of the object as determined from the naked eye (will be less than the same object's limiting photographic magnitude). The larger the magnitude, the fainter the item that can be seen.)
- Resolving Power: 2 arc sec (Refers to the device's ability to distinguish detail between far away objects and separate distinct points of an object at small angular distances. The lower the arc seconds, the greater the ability to distinguish detail. Generally, resolving power increases as the diameter of the telescope increases.)
- Slow-Motion Control: Manual (For optimal tracking of astronomical objects, smooth and steady slow motion control is necessary. Manual control requires adjustments made by the user, while mechanical controls automatically adjust.)
- Telescope Class: Refractor
- UPC: 050234220057

Q: How does this telescope compare with the $99 Celestron 70mm telescope?
A: The Travel Scope National Park Foundation 60mm has a 2.4" objective lens compared to the 70mm model with a 2.8" objective lens for light gathering ability. The 60mm model comes with bonus accessories such as a flashlight, compass, and a free download of the National Parks Guidebook, while the 70mm Travel Scope DX model comes with a smartphone adapter and a bluetooth shutter release. Both telescopes are easy to use, ideal for celestial and terrestrial viewing, and affordable. For more detailed information on both telescopes, visit www.celestron.com.
