The Discovery Sky T50 refractor telescope has a 50 mm objective lens and a focal length of 600 mm. It is suitable for beginners and for observing the Moon, terrestrial objects, and nearby celestial bodies, though details of the latter cannot be distinguished. The altazimuth mount moves manually up, down, left, and right, while the optical finder helps with aiming.
The tube is made of plastic, and the optical elements are made of glass with a standard coating. The adjustable aluminum tripod has independently adjustable legs, allowing it to stand on different surfaces. The educational book “Cosmos. The Non-Empty Void” introduces celestial bodies and the basic principles of astronomical observation.
