Having a true diffraction-limited optical design and sized to encourage spontaneous stargazing sessions, this high-quality telescope is a perfect grab-and-go instrument for exploring the skies.
Featuring an air-spaced triplet optical design that virtually eliminates chromatic aberrations, this telescope generates brilliant high-contrast images by combining genuine HOYA FCD100 extra-low dispersion (ED) glass and proprietary EMD enhanced multilayer coatings on all optical surfaces. In addition, this amazing little scope also includes a 2.5" hexagonal focuser with very rigid design and strong support. Up to 10 pounds of gear can be loaded onto this focuser.
Although it is a standout telescope on its own, the 80mm is compact enough to mount on a larger telescope, which can add versatility to your astrophotography by separating guiding and imaging duties. The telescope tube's outside diameter is 3.6".
