Our take on the Lakwar 800mm Refracting Telescope

The Lakwar 800mm is a beginner refractor with a 60mm objective and a long 800mm focal length, giving a slow f/13.3 ratio that keeps color fringing low on the Moon and planets. It ships with a tripod and is aimed at first-time stargazers rather than serious observers. At $89.99 at Walmart as of November 4, 2026, it is the only new price listed, so there is no recent range to compare against.

Pros
  • Long 800mm focal length gives useful magnification on the Moon and planets
  • f/13.3 ratio limits chromatic aberration for a cheap refractor
  • Light and easy to carry at about 3.7 inches wide
  • Simple refractor design needs no collimation
  • Low entry price at $89.99
Cons
  • 60mm aperture is small; faint deep-sky objects stay dim
  • 600X claim is empty marketing — 60mm supports roughly 120X usefully
  • Included eyepieces and tripod are usually the weak points at this price
  • No tracking mount, so objects drift out of view quickly

Questions and answers

Is the Lakwar 800mm worth it for a beginner?
Yes, if you want a cheap first scope for the Moon and bright planets. Expect to upgrade the eyepieces and tripod before anything else.
Can it really reach 600X?
No. A 60mm lens gives useful views up to about 120X; beyond that the image goes soft and dim. Treat 600X as a spec-sheet number.
What can I see with a 60mm refractor?
Craters and maria on the Moon, Jupiter's moons, Saturn's rings and some bright star clusters. Galaxies and nebulae will be faint smudges at best.
What comes in the box?
Typically the optical tube, a tripod, a finder scope and a couple of eyepieces. Check the listing for the exact eyepiece sizes before buying.
Is it good for kids?
It is light and simple enough for supervised kids, but the tripod can be knocked easily. A tabletop Dobsonian is sturdier for the same money.
Where is the Lakwar 800mm Refracting Telescope cheapest?
At Walmart, for $89.99, as of our latest check.
