The Astro Tech AT60EDT is a superb grab-and-go visual scope, a fine wide-field astrograph, and a daytime spotting scope. Its 420mm f/7 ED air-spaced apochromatic triplet optics are essentially free from spurious color (chromatic aberration), even at high magnifications. The optical performance both visually and photographically is little short of astonishing.

The exceptional AT60EDT triplet optics are even more impressive when you consider the package they come in. The substantial (5.3 pounds) and finely-machined scope has a dual speed 2" rack-and-pinion focuser with a microfine 10:1 fine-focusing ratio. You can rotate the focuser a full 360 degree to put your eyepiece or camera in the most comfortable observing position. The supplied 2" and 1.25" eyepiece adapters use non-marring brass compression rings that won't scratch your eyepiece and accessory barrels. The Astro-Tech AT60EDT has a retractable lens shade and comes in a locking aluminum-frame hard carrying case.

This 11" long refractor optical tube (14" long with the lens shade extended) has the right balance of aperture and focal length to use as a low-power rich field telescope, as a medium-power planetary telescope, or as any kind of telescope in between. Its compact size and convenient removable L-shaped mounting foot that mounts on any photographic tripod also make it an excellent terrestrial spotting scope for vacations, birding, or nature studies. In addition, optional camera adapters turn the AT60EDT into a superb 420mm (8.4x with a 35mm camera or a large chip DSLR) f/7 daytime telephoto lens and nighttime wide-field astr
