Meade ETX 80 AT Observer 80mm f / 5 GoTo Refractor Telescope

This achromatic refractor with an aperture of 80 millimeters is very compact and transportable and equally suitable for astronomical and terrestrial observations.

The travel telescope can always be there, no matter whether you are hiking, camping, on the beach holidays or going somewhere else in the nature. So you are even closer to nature and the universe. Craters on the moon, clouds on Jupiter and the rings of Saturn are easily recognizable with this optics. With the two included eyepieces and the Barlow lens integrated in the deflection optics, you will find the right magnification.

A special feature is the tilting mirror on the eyepiece output. You can also mount a camera and an eyepiece at the same time and use the tilt mirror to either direct the light into the eyepiece or into the camera.

The telescope is equipped with a hand control. With this control, the telescope automatically drives any object you have selected from the object database. Of course, the telescope also travels, so the object remains visible in the eyepiece despite the rotation of the post-thrown. You can easily operate the telescope with batteries, for maximum independence from a power source.

The telescope is supplied with a light, height-adjustable aluminum stand.
