Explore Scientific ED80 Essential Series Air-Spaced Triplet Refractor Telescope - ES-ED0806-02

The Explore Scientific ED80 Essential Series is a true apochromatic refractor built for observers who want diffraction-limited views without the weight of a larger scope. It suits grab-and-go stargazers as well as astrophotographers who want a compact guide scope for a larger imaging rig. Genuine HOYA ED glass keeps chromatic aberration under control across the field.

• True Apochromatic Triplet Design: An air-spaced triplet design with genuine HOYA FCD1 ED glass virtually eliminates chromatic aberration.
• EMD Multi-Layer Coatings: Proprietary EMD enhanced multi-layer coatings on all optical surfaces boost contrast and light transmission.
• 1.45 Arcsec Resolution: Rated for 1.45 arcsec resolving power and a limiting magnitude of 12.
• 2" Rack & Pinion Focuser with Extensions: Includes a 2" rack-and-pinion focuser with two extension tubes.
• Compact 91mm OD, 5.95lb: The 91mm outside diameter tube weighs 5.95 lbs (2.7kg), compact enough to piggyback on a larger telescope for guiding.
