Orion ShortTube 80-T Terrestrial, 80mm Refractor Telescope Kit, with Eyepieces, Finder Scope & Software

The Orion ShortTube 80-T Terrestrial Refractor Telescope is a wide-field refractor that novices appreciate for its ease of use and big-scope owners value as a take-anywhere second scope now has fully multi-coated optics and comes with its own padded carrying case. Its 80mm achromatic objective lens, short 400mm focal length (f/5.0), correct-image diagonal (1.25") and 6x26 correct-image finder scope make the ST80-T perfect for casual stargazing or terrestrial viewing.

The short focal length means you'll see a beautifully wide field of view. And like all refractors, the unobstructed light path means sharper images with better definition and contrast. Despite its diminutive size - it's only 15-1/2" long - this telescope delivers the goods. It comes equipped with a 1.25" cast-aluminum rack-and-pinion focuser and two interchangeable Sirius Plossl eyepieces - 25mm (16x) and 10mm (40x). It easily attaches to Orion equatorial mounts or photo tripods.
