38 USD. You read that right. This deal will save you over $60 (opens in new tab) and is about as low-risk a buy as you can get if you want to get into astronomy. It is ideal for both children and adults without much stargazing experience as it comes fully assembled and even has a few accessories. If that wasn’t enough, Celestron is one of the biggest and most trusted names when it comes to telescopes, so quality is assured. We also have telescope deals round-ups and budget telescopes under $500 for more top discounts.
Seeing a telescope for under $40 will tempt you, but you need to make sure it’s even worth getting. The good news is that this one is. We usually say that if a deal is too good to be true, it usually is, but the optics are good, it has a lightweight design for use on the go, and it comes with accessories. The Celestron Travelscope 60 doesn’t rival the power of the best telescopes on the market, but it’s a great entry-level binocular and is more cost-effective than many top binoculars and even many of the best binocular deals.
Discovering a telescope (it’s worth getting) for under $40 is next to impossible, so that means this deal is a bit of a special one. Again, there’s no hiding that this isn’t the most powerful telescope on the market, but if you’re looking to get into stargazing or know someone who is, this is definitely a good option.
Its price means it’s low risk, so if astronomy isn’t your thing, you haven’t spent thousands or even hundreds to find out. It comes pretty much ready to use, so you don’t have to spend ages setting up before you see the stars. It has a 60mm aperture and fully coated glass optics, so it’s possible to achieve sharp, clear views of your night sky targets.
The Travelscope 60, as the name suggests, has a portable and lightweight design that makes it suitable for taking on camping trips and watching the night sky wherever you go. Accessories include two eyepieces (20mm and 8mm), a 3x Barlow objective and a free download of the Starry Night software. A $60 savings on a telescope from a reliable manufacturer isn’t something to pass up easily.
