- 36% more light than a 60mm telescope
- Very clear image, high contrast
- 2-element achromatic object lens, coated
- Valuable EQ3-1 equatorial mount with height-adjustable aluminum tripod: the mount is very stable.
- Complete delivery - ready to operate under the starry sky - with many accessories - easy assembly in a few minutes

The TS Optics JUPITER is a versatile beginner's telescope with very sharp optics.
The classic refractor according to Fraunhofer with its fully coated objective provides a clear and contrasting image. It makes your first astronomical observations a success. The telescope is quickly set up and handling is very easy. Of course, an easy-to-understand manual is supplied. The telescope is suitable for all stargazers over 7 years old and offers joy in astronomy from the beginning.
The optics of the TS Jupiter beginner refractor
This telescope already collects approximately 100 times more light than the human eye. Therefore, you can see hundreds of nebulae, star clusters and galaxies beyond our solar system. The high resolution shows exciting details of objects in our solar system, such as the crater landscape of the moon or the rings of Saturn. Be enchanted by the changing positions of Jupiter's moons, like Galileo Galilei once did.
Jupiter's EQ3-1 equatorial mount:
Good optics need a stable mount. We do not offer this refractor with a small EQ1 mount, we sell it in the stable EQ3-1 mount. The image remains still even at high magnification. The mount is very easy to set up and can be easily handled by any beginner.
The mount offers professional features such as:
- Fine polar alignment for precise setup
- Oversized field tripod
- Proper counterweight for optimal balance
- Manual slow motion control on both axes via flexible shafts
- Optionally available tracking engine ( MDEQ ).
Observing with the TS JUPITER
The lunar craters
and the ridges can be easily seen. Watch the sun rise over the craters as more and more details become visible!
The planets
Observe the phases of Venus or the rings of Saturn. On Jupiter you can see many details, including atmospheric bands and Galilean moons. In good conditions, you can see the great red spot - a huge hurricane twice the size of our home planet!
Stars, galaxies and nebulae
Hundreds of celestial objects are within reach of this telescope. Compared to the naked eye, the telescope collects almost 140 times more light! Hundreds of nebulae, star clusters and galaxies are within reach of the JUPITER telescope.
Point, for example, the instrument at a notable cloud in the Milky Way near the constellation Aquila. Look through the telescope at low magnification and suddenly the diffuse cloud becomes a sea of stars, with a hazy patch in the middle of the field. Now use higher magnification and watch the spot turn into a nice star cluster within the Milky Way's ocean of stars.
Our land
You can also use this telescope as a powerful spyglass to observe planet-side objects such as birds, ships, and mountains. The telescope offers very good image sharpness for planetary observation, the erect eyepiece provides the correct orientation.
