The ExploreOne Juno is a genuine 50mm refractor telescope built as a complete first kit for kids and new stargazers. A refractor uses a glass lens at the front to gather light and produce sharp, high-contrast views — exactly what a beginner wants when pointing at the Moon and bright planets.

Unlike department-store toys labelled as telescopes, the Juno is a real optical instrument that ships ready to observe: two eyepieces, a stable tripod, a star map, and astronomy software, all in gift-box packaging. Its smooth alt-azimuth mount needs no setup — loosen, aim, tighten.

Who it's for: Children and first-time stargazers (roughly age 8 and up with a little adult help) who want an easy, complete scope for the Moon and bright planets. New to buying for a young astronomer? See our parent's guide to the best telescopes for kids.

Key features

  • 50mm refractor optics deliver bright, sharp views of the Moon and planets.
  • 360mm focal length (f/7.2) — a forgiving focal ratio that is easy to focus for beginners.
  • Two eyepieces included (20mm and 12.5mm) giving 18x and 28.8x magnification.
  • No-tools alt-azimuth mount — just loosen, point, and tighten to track objects.
  • Complete starter kit with adjustable tripod, star map, and downloadable astronomy software.

What you'll see

The Moon is the star of the show — craters, mountain ranges, and the sharp light-and-dark terminator line stand out clearly. Saturn shows its distinctive shape and Jupiter reveals up to four Galilean moons as tiny points beside the planet. Wide star fields and bright open clusters like the Pleiades look lovely at the low-power eyepiece.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a good first telescope for a child?
Yes. It is a real optical instrument (not a toy), comes complete with everything needed to start, and the simple alt-azimuth mount is easy for a young beginner to aim.

What will we be able to see?
The Moon in crisp detail, Saturn's distinctive shape, Jupiter's four bright moons, and wide star clusters. It is best suited to the Moon and bright planets rather than faint deep-sky objects.

Does it need assembly?
Only minimal setup — extend the tripod and attach the tube and mount, about five minutes with no tools required.

Can we add better eyepieces later?
The Juno uses 0.965" eyepieces; for a long-term upgrade path, a 1.25" scope offers a wider selection, but the included eyepieces are a fine place to start.
