The Sky-Watcher 607 AZ2 is a straightforward 60mm refractor designed to make both astronomy and daytime observing easy to get into.
Its 700mm focal length and multi-coated 60mm optics provide clear, high-contrast views of the brighter objects that make starting astronomy so rewarding. Saturn’s rings are recognisable through the eyepiece, Jupiter’s four major moons are easy to follow, and its main cloud belts can become visible under good conditions. The Moon reveals an extraordinary amount of changing detail.
Star clusters, double stars and brighter nebulae give you additional targets as you begin exploring beyond the planets.
The supplied Super 20mm and Super 10mm eyepieces provide useful 35x and 70x magnifications, while the included 2x Barlow expands the available range to 140x when atmospheric conditions and the target suit higher power.
The AZ2 mount is simple to move around the sky and includes fine altitude adjustment, helping you make smaller vertical movements once your target is in view.
During the day, the telescope can also be used for birds, wildlife, boats, landscapes and distant scenery. That makes the Sky-Watcher 607 AZ2 a genuinely versatile telescope rather than something that only comes out after dark.
Sky-Watcher also backs the telescope with a 5-year manufacturer warranty, adding useful reassurance to an affordable first telescope.
The Sky-Watcher 607 AZ2 gives you an enjoyable selection of bright celestial targets.
Saturn’s rings are clearly identifiable, while Jupiter shows its four Galilean moons and, with good atmospheric conditions, its main cloud belts. The Moon is an outstanding target, revealing craters, mountains, ridges and shadows across its surface.
Open star clusters provide attractive groups of individual stars, while double stars offer another interesting class of target. Brighter nebulae such as the Orion Nebula can also be seen as soft areas of nebulosity under suitable skies.
The telescope remains useful from towns and cities because its strongest targets — the Moon, planets and many bright stars and clusters — are relatively resistant to light pollution.
The Sky-Watcher 607 AZ2 is also designed for terrestrial observation.
It can be used for birds, wildlife, boats, coastlines, hills and other distant subjects, making it useful during the day as well as at night.
The 20mm eyepiece provides 35x magnification and is particularly useful for initially locating terrestrial subjects, while the 10mm eyepiece provides 70x when you want a closer view and atmospheric conditions allow.
Is the Sky-Watcher 607 AZ2 suitable for someone new to astronomy?
Yes. The telescope is completely manual and straightforward to operate. The 35x eyepiece gives a useful wider view for locating targets, while the mount’s fine altitude adjustment helps once an object is in view.
How much magnification can I use?
The supplied eyepieces provide 35x and 70x. The 2x Barlow can double those figures, although Sky-Watcher rates the telescope’s highest practical magnification at approximately 120x, so the clearest view will not always come from using the highest possible magnification.
Can it also be used during the day?
Yes. On the agreed erect-image configuration, the Sky-Watcher 607 AZ2 provides a naturally oriented terrestrial view for subjects such as birds, boats, wildlife and landscapes.
