Seben's multifunctional Refractor Telescope Star Commander is with its 900mm focal length and 60mm aperture a clear proof that versatility, quality and a good price can be combined. Assembling Seben's Star Commander is very easy, so it will soon provide you a beautiful view at the nightly sky. Since you can use this telescope for terrestrial observations also, you will be able to make impressive observations on animals, birds and landscapes. The usage of high-quality components, as built-in into Seben's bigger telescopes, will delight newcomers to the field of astronomy especially. You get an higher-than-average performance for your money!
Because of its up-to-date-construction, and in combination with its high performance 31.7mm (1.25”) accessory sockets, you are able to equip Seben's Star Commander with nearly every accessory available. The following 31.7mm (1.25”) extra accessories are all part of the "Big Pack" . Whereas you usually have to spend a lot of extra money for them with other manufacturers, there is not a penny extra to be paid. The added 31.7mm (1.25”) Moon Filter reduces the Moon's glare. This is produced by reflected sunlight and normally washes out most of the craters and other surface details from view. The additionally supplied 31.7mm (1.25”) Barlow Lens enables a doubling of the magnification of the inserted eyepiece. The 31.7mm (1.25”) 1,5x Erecting Eyepiece produces an upright and side correct image. This is of particular importance for terrestrial viewing, because usually the image would appear inverted. Because of it's lower power the 5x24 Finder Scope makes it easier to locate celestial objects. With the provided 31.7mm (1.25”) eyepieces (20mm, 12.5mm, 6mm and 4mm) the following magnifications can be achieved without further accessories having to be bought expensively: 45x, 72x, 90x, 144x, 150x, 225x, 300x and 450x. The extremely stable, vertically-adjustable Tripod enables best observation conditions, especially if you want to shift from celestial to terrestrial viewing or vice versa.

Our expert comment:
Compare: A similar telescope, which is better value for money, is the Omegon AC 60/700 AZ-1. You also benefit from a comprehensive accessory kit for getting you started in astronomy.
Seben telescopes are aimed completely at selling in the lower price bracket, which, in our opinion, is unfortunately clearly reflected in their quality. On the plus side however, there is a very wide range of accessories available, but these also tend to be of the most basic sort which can be produced.
We therefore recommend beginners consider carefully as to whether they should perhaps invest a little more and buy equipment that they can enjoy using somewhat longer.
