Vixen - ED80Sf 80mm ED Apochromatic Refractor Telescope Package

with GP2 Mount

The ED 80SF was initially listed as an entry level APO, but now with so many astronomers giving us
such glowing reviews, it appears that we will need to reclassify this product!

The ED80Sf refractor features high-grade glass and quality components. Coupled with a medium
f/7.5 focal ratio, the ED "S" series provide a sharp, color-free image of high contrast. At only
22.4", this is our ultimate grab-n-go APO travel scope.
