Are you looking for a high power refractor telescope which serves well for terrestrial viewing?
How about a perfect “grab and go” telescope with high quality optics?
Do you want a spotting scope for birding, wildlife studies, nature viewing or surveillance?
Then the Saxon 1206 AZ3 – High Performance Heavy Duty Spotting Scope may just be right for you…
The affordable Saxon 1206 AZ3 is an achromatic refractor telescope with a short, compact tube design which makes it perfect for the observer on the go. At its heart is a quality 120mm objective lens which is multi-coated to produce crisp, clean images with an absolute minimum of chromatic aberration – that annoying “purple fringe” around subject matter. Its short 600mm focal length means it’s a great size for all applications and the f/5 focal length means the Saxon 1206 AZ3 120mm refractor will perform well at high magnification factors… up to 254X with a resolution of 1.02 arc seconds. With a limiting magnitude reach of 13.8, this great little telescope is an astronomy performer and can even be adapted via an optional T-2 adapter ring to work as a telephoto lens with your digital or 35mm SLR!
But, the features don’t stop there. The Saxon 1206 AZ3 – High Performance Heavy-duty Spotting Scope also includes an upgraded 2″ rack and pinion focuser, sturdy AZ3 alt-azimuth mount with slow motion controls on both axes and a lightweight, adjustable height aluminum tripod with convenient accessory tray. What’s more, you get a host of accessories such as an ample 6X30 optical finderscope for easy target acquisition, a 1.25″ 45 degree upright image prism for viewing comfort and two Super eyepieces – 10mm and 25mm.

You’ll be amazed at the razor sharp image quality of the craters and mountain ranges on the Moon.

Venus and Mercury will reveal their phases. Large, bright star clusters will resolve into individual members and fainter star clusters will show the grainy appearance of resolving stars.
