Tele Vue-60 APO

The Tele Vue 60 is the most portable APO (total color correction) telescope we make. The body (less diagonal and eyepiece) is only 10"-long. It has a unique drawtube focus for a quick change from near to far viewing, plus a fine helical focuser. A sliding dew/glare shield with convenient snap-on lens cover can also accept 77mm filters. Optional carry case available.

TV-60: Recommendations by Al Nagler, telescope designer

  1. Buy this telescope along with the TVP-6012 birding package to get all the accessories you need to start observing with the Tele Vue-60. This package gives you a 60º mirror diagonal for the brightest, sharpest and the most comfortable viewing experience. Left-right is reversed. The package includes the 25-mm Plössl eyepiece, with 17mm eye-relief, that yields a 177' @ 1000 yards true field of view at 14x in this scope. This birding package also includes the Qwik-Point Basic day/night red-dot finder to help you point the telescope. A custom padded carry bag to hold scope, diagonal, and eyepieces comes with the TVP-6012 package.
  2. With the Tele Vue-60 you can get a maximum field of 225' @ 1000 yards with the following eyepieces: 32mm Plössl* @ 11x or 24mm Panoptic @ 15x.
  3. For medium power: 10mm Delos* @ at 36x or 11mm Nagler @ 33x.
  4. For higher power: 6mm Delos* @ 60x or 7mm Nagler @ 51x.
  5. For viewing planets: 3.5mm Delos* or 3.5mm Nagler @ 103x.
