Featuring a large optical tube with an 80 mm aperture, this telescope provides sharp views of our Moon, as well as brighter deep-sky targets and star clusters. This refractor is not designed for astrophotography, although the EQ-1B mount does allow for accurate manual tracking of the night sky. So, with a simple smartphone adapter (sold separately), you can easily capture quick photos and videos of your observations. It's not designed to observe dim deep-sky targets under light-polluted skies, and the 400 mm focal length does not provide enough magnification to resolve much surface detail of the planets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat You'll See and Why It Works.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe Observer 80 mm EQ Refractor comes complete with a classic equatorial mount with two slow-motion controls and a lightweight aluminum tripod with an eyepiece accessory tray. The kit includes two Kellner eyepieces (25 mm and 10 mm), which are well-suited for exploring bright, wide-field targets, such as the Orion Nebula (M42), while also delivering striking views of the lunar surface. The 90° mirror star diagonal delivers comfortable views, and the red dot finder makes it easy to locate targets. A copy of the MoonMap 260 is included to help identify lunar features.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"oriontelescopes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51397385126184,"sku":"10273","price":79.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8886\/7880\/files\/Orion_Observer_80mm_EQ_Refractor_Kit.jpg?v=1784841453","url":"https:\/\/www.telescope.com\/products\/orion-observer-80mm-eq-refractor","provider":"oriontelescopes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
