Lunar / Planetary Telescopes

Telescopes built for the bright targets of our Solar System: the Moon, Jupiter, Saturn and Mars. These scopes favor longer focal length and higher focal ratios, the optics that deliver high magnification and crisp contrast for lunar craters and planetary detail.

You will find long-focal refractors from Explore Scientific and National Geographic, in alt-azimuth and equatorial setups. For planetary work, prioritize aperture and focal length over a wide field, and pair each scope with a steady mount.
