Product description Explore Scientific's ED80 80mm f/6 Carbon Fiber APO Refractor Telescope is ideal for lunar and planetary viewing. It offers a convenient balance between aperture and weight, providing the ability to resolve bright deep-sky objects while remaining highly portable. Its small form factor produces a fast focal ratio and makes it perfect as a grab-and-go option; it can also be set up on a dual-mount rig for astrophotography/astroimaging. Its HOYA extra-low-dispersion (ED) glass, set in an apochromatic triplet lens configuration with fully multi-coated optics, produces images that are clear and bright without fringing, halos, or distortion across the entire field of view, giving you true color rendition and high contrast.Offered here as an OTA-only option for those with reliable support systems, the carbon fiber tube weighs just 5 pounds and can easily be carried by medium-sized mounts. The carbon fiber also resists the expansion and contraction common in metal tubes when moving between extreme temperatures, which can cause the internal lens elements to move out of collimation over time, affecting the scope's ability to achieve sharp focus and causing fringing and halos. Its sturdy rack-and-pinion focuser can handle heavier eyepieces and accessories without flexing, while the wide 2" drawtube ensures complete coverage of imaging sensors during astrophotography without vignetting the scene. - Optical Tube Assembly
