Product Description

The ST80-A (for "Astronomy") is an upgraded version of our popular ShortTube 80. Now improved with fully multi-coated optics and a soft carrying case, the "little scope that could" is better than ever! Its 80mm objective lens and short 400mm (f/5.0) focal length are perfect for scanning the heavens. Multi-coatings on all air-to-glass surfaces ensure maximum light transmission for bold image fidelity. You'll see dramatic star clusters and nebulas as well as sharp lunar surface detail. The ST80-A includes an aluminum rack-and-pinion focuser (1.25"), 90-deg mirror diagonal, large 8x40 finder scope, and two Expanse wide-field eyepieces (20mm and 9mm). It also comes with tube rings and a dovetail bar compatible with many Orion mounts. It's a great scope for getting started in astronomy - or the perfect portable second scope for travel or quick looks. One-year limited warranty.
