Frequently Asked Questions

Can students observe stars and planets with a 60mm refractor telescope?

A 60mm refractor telescope (SLM-TEL-60) can show: Moon craters and maria at high magnification, Jupiter's Galilean moons and cloud bands, Saturn's rings, Venus phases, Mars as a disc (at opposition), double stars, and some bright star clusters (Pleiades, Hyades). It cannot resolve details in galaxies or faint nebulae — these require larger apertures. It is ideal for introductory school astronomy.

Do you supply a planisphere adjusted for African latitudes?

Yes. We supply planispheres calibrated for specific latitudes: 0° (equatorial), 5°N (Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon), 10°N (Nigeria north), 15°N (Sahel), 5°S (Kenya, Tanzania), 10°S (Zambia, Mozambique), 20°S (Zimbabwe, Botswana). Please specify your country when ordering so we supply the correct latitude planisphere.
