This refractor is packed with great features and excellent optics including our high quality ED glass. The refractor style 80ED (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.
