{"title":"Refractor Telescopes","description":"\u003cp\u003eRefractor telescopes bring distant landscapes, boats, wildlife and mountain views dramatically closer, offering clear, detailed viewing during the day and exciting astronomy after dark. Easy to operate and wonderfully versatile, they're ideal for enjoying the view from your home or bach, taking on holiday, or exploring the world with the family. Our range extends from affordable children's telescopes and lightweight backpack models to high-quality refractors with impressive optical performance. And when night falls, turn your telescope towards the Moon, Saturn, Jupiter and bright star clusters for a whole new viewing experience.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"saxon-909-az3-refractor-telescope","title":"saxon 909-AZ3 Refractor Telescope","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"data item content\" id=\"description\" role=\"tabpanel\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product attribute description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"value\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBring distant boats, coastlines, mountain ridges and wildlife dramatically closer with crisp 90mm refractor optics and precise slow-motion control — then turn to the Moon and planets when night falls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Saxon 909 AZ3 is a telescope for people who already have a great view and want to explore it in far more detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAcross a harbour, lake or coastline, its 90mm multi-coated refractor optics can transform distant boats, buildings and headlands into subjects worth stopping to examine. \u003c\/strong\u003eIn the country or mountains, ridgelines, rock formations and wildlife that are barely distinguishable with the naked eye become far more interesting through the telescope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe supplied 45° erect-image diagonal gives you a natural, correctly orientated daytime view, while the 25mm and 10mm eyepieces provide approximately 36x and 91x magnification.
