This short focal length refractor telescope gives wonderfully wide views of the night sky! You do not need a big bulky telescope to enjoy backyard astronomy. Our potent little Orion Observer 80ST Equatorial Refractor Telescope proves otherwise. Compact and hassle free it’s easy to take outside and set up and easy to bring in when you’re done. This versatile telescope’s 80mm-aperture objective lens has a short focal length of 400mm f/5 which makes the Observer 80ST extremely portable and compact. Thanks to the telescope’s fast f/5 focal ratio bright wide-field views of the stars and deep-space objects are the Observer 80ST’s forte! This Sun and Moon kit also includes a Safety Film Solar Filter which lets you safely observer sunspots as they march across the surface of our nearest star. The solar filter rejects all harmful light from the Sun while allowing a very small fraction of the light to pass through so you can safely enjoy the fun of daytime solar astronomy. The included moon filter will reduce the glare and boost the contrast when viewing the moon’s surface. Tracking celestial objects while viewing them in the Observer 80ST telescope is a cinch with the smooth and stable EQ-1B equatorial mount and tripod. The mount is equipped with dual slow motion controls for easy manual tracking of objects in the night sky. The Observer 80ST refractor telescope comes with a reflex sight 90-degree diagonal 1.25 inch anti-reflection coated 10mm and 25mm Kellner 1.25 inch telescope eyepieces solar filter and moon filter. This pint-sized refractor also includes the useful MoonMap 260 to help you identify interesting lunar features you can see in the telescope. A niftier grab-and-go scope you will not find!
