(APO) features a 2" rack and pinion focuser and has a bracket that can adapt to a photo tripod.
ED glass provides excellent color correction and razor sharp images and virtually eliminates chromatic aberration usually seen
during planetary and lunar viewing. With a focal length of 600mm (f/7.5) the 80ED refractor is well suited for wide field
astrophotography as well as nature photography. This telescope comes complete with a 20mm 1.25" eyepiece, erect image diagonal and
6x30 finderscope.
Using the RS-232 communication port on the hand control, you can control the telescope via a personal computer and our new flash
upgradeable hand controls allow you to update your telescope's operationg software via the internet. An autoguider port is also
included for astrophotography.
