Refractor Telescopes

Discover the moon, planets, double stars, and the wonders of the night sky with the sharp, high-contrast, and low-maintenance optical design of a refractor telescope with our range of refractor telescopes designed for beginner astronomers, experienced visual observers, and astrophotographers who want a telescope that delivers crisp and contrasty images of bright objects with minimal optical aberration and no requirement for collimation or mirror cooling. A refractor telescope uses a lens to gather and focus light, producing images with the high contrast, sharp definition, and colour fidelity that make refractors the preferred choice for planetary observation, lunar observation, double star observation, and wide-field astrophotography — with achromatic refractor telescopes in apertures from 60mm to 120mm with a long focal ratio for beginner astronomers and visual observers who want a low-cost and easy-to-use telescope for observing the moon, planets, and bright deep-sky objects from a suburban or rural location, apochromatic refractor telescopes and APO refractors in apertures from 60mm to 130mm with extra-low dispersion glass elements for eliminating chromatic aberration and producing the sharpest and most colour-accurate images possible for demanding visual observers and astrophotographers who want the best possible image quality from a refractor, wide-field refractor telescopes and short focal ratio refractors with a focal ratio of f/5 to f/7 for wide-field astrophotography of large nebulae, star clusters, and the Milky Way with a DSLR or a dedicated astronomy camera, refractor telescope and mount bundle sets that include a refractor telescope on an equatorial or alt-azimuth mount with a tripod for a complete and ready-to-observe telescope system for beginner and intermediate astronomers, and refractor telescope optical tube assemblies for astronomers who want to pair a high-quality refractor optical tube with a separately purchased mount for a custom telescope system, our refractor telescope range gives every astronomer the sharp, contrasty, and low-maintenance telescope they need to explore the night sky with clarity and confidence.
