Omegon - 50/600 Achromatic Refractor

Omegon 50/600 Achromatic Refractor: The First Lens Telescope for Young Discoverers

The Omegon AC 50/600 AZ is a light, child-friendly telescope for 79 euros. With a 50mm aperture and 600mm focal length (f/12), it shows the Moon with craters, seas, and shaded areas. A real telescope, not a toy, but so simple that children can start using it right away.

The set is complete: azimuthal mount, aluminum tripod, two eyepieces, zenith mirror and finder. Set it up, aim, look.

Two eyepieces: 30x and 48x

With the 20mm eyepiece, you get 30x magnification: the entire moon disk is in view, clear and steady. The 12.5mm eyepiece gives you 48x for crater detail along the terminator. Practically, it can be used up to about 100x with extra eyepieces.

The f/12 optics are forgiving: the image remains sharp and color-true even with minor aiming errors.

Bright enough for the nursery

The whole set is so light that a child can carry it to the garden by themselves. The azimuthal mount moves up, down, left, and right: just as you would intuitively aim.

Included

• AC optics 50/600 with multicoating
• Azimuth mount with aluminum tripod
• 20 mm and 12.5 mm eyepieces (1.25 inch)
• Zenith mirror
• Seeker
• Manual

Featured accessories

An Omegon Premium moon filter 1.25 inch (€19.90) dims the bright moonlight, as the Moon is the main target of this telescope. With the Omegon smartphone adapter 25-48 mm (€14.90), children can take their first moon photos through the eyepiece.

Never look at the sun through a telescope without a certified solar filter: this can cause permanent eye damage within a second. For the partial solar eclipse on August 12, 2026, the Bresser solar eclipse glasses (€3.20) are the safest way to watch with the naked eye.

For whom yes, for whom no

Suitable for: Children from about six years old and anyone looking for a real first telescope for less than eighty euros.
