ExploraScope 80 AZ
The ExploraScope telescopes are entry-level telescopes designed primarily for uncomplicated Earth observation - but also suitable for a quick look at the stars and the moon. The azimuthal mount has been redesigned for greater stability, as has the fine adjustment of the elevation axis. The tripod is made of coated aluminum, making it more resistant to wear and tear.
The StarPointer illuminated dot finder is very practical: Instead of pressing your eye behind the eyepiece of a small finder scope, you can comfortably look in from a great distance - a red illuminated dot then "floats" in the landscape and marks the target at which the telescope is pointed.
The deflecting prism provides an upright image for earth observation.
