How many meters can a 60x telescope see?

A 60x telescope cannot be directly converted into a specific observation distance (how many meters) because the observation distance of the telescope is affected by many factors. ‌


The magnification of a telescope refers to the ability to bring an object closer for observation. For example, using a 60x telescope to observe an object is equivalent to observing the object at a closer distance. However, this does not mean that a 60x telescope can directly observe an object that is 60 times farther away. In fact, the observation distance of a telescope is affected by many factors, including but not limited to:


The aperture of the telescope: The larger the aperture, the stronger the ability of the telescope to collect light, the brighter the observed object, and the farther it can observe.


Observation conditions: including weather conditions, atmospheric transparency, light conditions, etc., will affect the observation effect of the telescope.


The characteristics of the observed object: For example, observing stars and observing distant buildings, due to their different characteristics such as brightness, size, contrast, etc., the required telescope magnification and observation conditions will also be different.


Therefore, there is no definite answer to how many meters a 60x telescope can actually observe. It depends on the specific parameters of the telescope, the observation conditions, and the characteristics of the observed object. When choosing a telescope, in addition to considering the magnification, other factors such as aperture, optical quality, weight, portability, etc. should also be considered to ensure the best observation experience.
