{"product_id":"portable-telescope-stargazing-high-resolution-design","title":"Portable Monocular Telescope","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Portable Monocular Telescope from Cozy Crest is a hand-held monocular rather than a mounted astronomical telescope. It is a single tube you hold to one eye, small enough to go in a jacket pocket, and it is meant for the kind of looking you do on the spur of the moment rather than the kind you plan an evening around.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePortability is what decides how often an optic gets used. One that lives in a case in the loft sees the sky twice a year. Something that fits in a pocket comes on a walk, to a match, up a hill, and out into the garden on a clear night - and the Moon, at modest magnification, is what a monocular shows best.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo versions are available. Expect crisp views of the Moon's larger craters, landscapes, wildlife and distant detail. A hand-held monocular will not resolve planets or deep sky objects the way a mounted telescope does, and steadying it against a fence or a rail makes a noticeable difference. Never point it at the Sun or view the Sun through it - doing so causes permanent eye damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct type: Hand-held monocular\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Cozy Crest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesign: Single tube, pocket sized, no tripod or setup needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBest views: The Moon, landscapes, wildlife and distant detail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot suitable for: Resolving planets or deep sky objects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVersions: Two options available\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarning: Never view the Sun through it - permanent eye damage results\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Cozy Crest","offers":[{"title":"Telescope","offer_id":53708469666068,"sku":"BOW-K99VX6","price":175.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Telescope + Tripod","offer_id":53708469698836,"sku":"BOW-8HEBUM","price":185.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1027\/1975\/0420\/files\/hf_20260825_152448_2bb4a894-7896-42da-bcdf-12d1f4794e6b.png?v=1787671659","url":"https:\/\/cozycrestliving.com\/products\/portable-telescope-stargazing-high-resolution-design","provider":"Cozy Crest","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
