The AOE80 series refractor telescopes provide true value for money and amazing performance well beyond its economical price tag. The 80mm fully multi-coated objective lens is large enough to provide bright, crisp clear views for observing the planets as well as the brighter deep sky objects. It also makes an excellent terrestrial (land viewing) telescope, providing powerful crisp, clear, stuning views at short or long range. With low cost and high performance this telescope would be ideal for beginners as well as the much more demanding experienced observers. Features include fully multi-coated achromatic air spaced objective lens, retractable dew shield, fully baffled tube, metal componentry, smooth 1.25inch focuser, large 6x30 finderscope, 90 degree star diagonal, two good quality 1.25" Fully multicoated Plossl eyepieces and a stable wide-stance heavy duty aluminium field tripod and mount. Available with EQ3-C or AZ3 Mounts.
