Weighing in at a mere 5.5 lbs., this is one telescope you won't have to break your back (or bank account) when considering mounting options. The striking carbon-fiber refractor tube is nifty to look at, and makes the ED80T CF a lightweight luxury to transport and mount. The refractor telescope measures 18.25" long when the dew shield is fully extended to minimize peripheral glare and dew accumulation. The retractable dew shield makes the ED80T CF even more compact for storage and transport, with a length of 14.3" with the dew shield fully retracted.

The relatively small size and light weight of the refractor telescope makes it perfectly portable for escapades to dark-sky locations for either visual or photographic expeditions.

The triplet objective and top-notch ED optics virtually eliminate chromatic aberrations making the ED80T CF refractor an excellent candidate for astrophotography use when used with an imaging-capable equatorial mount and CCD or DSLR camera. With a focal length of 480mm (f/6.0), its fast unobstructed optics yield detail-rich visual views of solar system and wide-field deep-sky objects alike. The ED80T CF apo refractor is a versatile power performer telescope well-suited for multiple applications. The visual and imaging benefits of apochromatic refractor telescopes have helped to make them instruments of choice preferred by many real-time observers and imaging experts alike. Apochromatic refractors significantly reduce chromatic aberration, or false colour, compared to standard achromatic refractor telescopes due to the use of "ED" (Extra-low Dispersion) optical glass and use of three optical elements. The crisp view offered by a high-quality apo refractor is truly a wonder to behold and share. With an 80mm aperture triplet objective featuring FPL-53 extra-low dispersion glass, views and captured images come through true to colour and exhibit tack-sharp resolution.Īpochromatic refractor telescopes have a devoted following amongst amateur astronomers, for good reason.
