Celestron Travel Scope 60 DX Refractor Telescope
Celestron's Travel Scope 60 DX is a travel telescope with backpack for campers, families and day-trippers who want one compact instrument for both wildlife by day and planets by night. The 60mm refractor packs into a custom backpack with its full height tripod, two eyepieces, a 3x Barlow lens and a smartphone adapter. Unzip it at the campsite, set it up in minutes and start exploring the Moon, star clusters or boats on the water.
A Telescope with Backpack That Leaves Nothing Behind
Plenty of compact scopes save space by cutting accessories, so you arrive at a dark site with one eyepiece and no way to steady your view. The 60 DX bundles everything: 20mm and 8mm eyepieces for 18x and 45x, a 3x Barlow lens, an erect image diagonal for right-side-up views, a 5x20 finderscope, a smartphone adapter and a Bluetooth shutter release. Its 360mm focal length at f/6 keeps the tube short for travelling, while the alt-azimuth pan handle with clutch gives smooth tracking that toy scopes simply cannot match.
Accessories That Pull Their Weight
- Custom travel backpack: Holds the optical tube, tripod, eyepieces and accessories securely, so the whole kit rides on your shoulders to the campsite.
- Bluetooth shutter release: Triggers the camera on any Android or iOS smartphone remotely, avoiding nudges to the scope for a steady shot.
- Alt-Az pan handle with clutch: Move up, down, left or right like a photo tripod for smooth tracking and accurate pointing.
- Adjustable tripod legs: Set the height to suit you, or shorten them and place the telescope on a picnic table or wall.

FAQs
Q: Will my phone fit the smartphone adapter with its case on?
A: Most phones will, as the adapter clamps over the eyepiece and tightening knobs lock the handset in place. Some large or bulky cases, including folio styles, may need removing first. Never point the telescope at the Sun, and supervise children.
Q: Does it work for daytime spotting as well as astronomy?
A: Yes. The erect image diagonal gives right-side-up images, so the 60 DX doubles as a spotting scope for birds, wildlife and boats. At night the same optics show the Moon, planets and bright objects such as the Orion Nebula.
Q: How quickly is the telescope shipped?
A: Your Travel Scope 60 DX is packed promptly and sent with swift UK dispatch through a dependable courier service. That means prompt UK arrival, ready for your next camping trip or clear night.
