Although similar to many other beginner's refractor telescopes on the market, the Mercury-607 is supplied with superior 1.25" eyepieces and accessories (not 0.96" or hybrid 1.25") and moreover, the eyepieces have been specially selected to give a much more useful and practical range of magnifications (which are not unrealistically too high!) to enhance your viewing experience. The telescope can be freely moved in both horizontal and vertical axes and is equipped with a micro-adjustment elevation control. Suitable to view the Moon, stars and bright planets as well as for daytime terrestrial observations.

Help!** A: Hello AlisonFirst of all set it up in the daytime. Ensure the small Finder scope is secured on to the main telescope tube. Fit one of the low power eyepiece say 20mm into the rear end of the main tube. Look at a distant object say a church steeple or chimney through the small Finder scope and adjust the scews holding the Finder scope until you have the object e.g church steeple in the centre of the finder scope. Tighten the finder scope screws finger tight only. Do not worry if the steeple is upside down. This is normal.When you have got this correct then look through the main telescope tube. Add the diagonal eyepiece to the existing 20mm eyepiece and the image will be seen the normal way up. Remember this is all done in the daytime. You are now ready to use the telescope at nightime. Try not to disturb the finder scope setting or you will have to do it all again. Bobbo **Q: does any one have instructions for setting up and using this ?** A: Regret unable to answer your question, this item was bought as a gift, hence we do not have any instructions. **Q: is this telescope ok for a ten year old** A: We've just bought this one for our seven year old for Christmas do we've not tried it yet but it looks great and not too comicated. From other reviews I think it is a good starter one. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic but fun starter scope *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 22 May 2013* Ordered for my daughter who, on the first night of use, has marvelled at the moon and was busy later last night trying to locate other planets to look at with the help of an I phone ap' The scope is basic and it is very lightweight which means it is not easy to keep locked into position but with a little patience and trial with different lenses, of which there are a good range supplied, you can marvel at the moon at the very least......it does make you smile when you draw it into focus and the details of the surface become clearly visible. I found the main scope very easy to assemble, the spotter scope while easy to set up moved without much provication but works with care. Supplied with a good range of lenses, basic set up instructions, user guide and moon filter this scope is an absolute bargain and a great introduction into astronomy.....it does function well as a standard telescope too which can add to the fun factor. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Good value for money, but this is a budget scope. *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 24 February 2015* Good for the money. You can see the moon clearly and we have spotted Jupiter and 5 moons. It is very light however, so the slightest touch judders and wobbles the image. In addition the adjustments are not super smooth, especially focus, so use entails a cycle of gentle adjustments, letting go to let the image settle, refine, repeat.My 4 year old son if happy however (and it was bought for him).And, it is good enough to have whetted my appetite for something better. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Skywatcher mercury 607 *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 25 February 2013* Very good build and quality of the scope is very good. The tripod lets it down as it is very flimsy and you need to tighten the screws to the point where they could sheer off. the clarity of the scope is brilliant very easy to set up, no problems at all. gives very good views of the moon (moon filter included) use it as the moon is blinding on a clear night. very happy with this purchase will last a good while. ## Frequently Bought Together - Skywatcher Mercury 607 Refractor Telescope SK607AZ2 - Celestron 94119-A 1.25 inch Moon Filter - Suitable for Lunar Observation, Extra Bright Planets or Terrestrial Viewing over Sand or Snow, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.uy/products/52327565-skywatcher-mercury-607-refractor-telescope-sk607az2](https://www.desertcart.uy/products/52327565-skywatcher-mercury-607-refractor-telescope-sk607az2) --- *Product available on Desertcart Uruguay* *Store origin: UY* *Last updated: 2026-09-25*
